security is the main reason i'm tint mine, plus it also helps when your offroad and smash a window it holds it together.

basically anything behind the B Pillar (drivers shoulder) can be as dark as you want, forwards of this so basically the drivers and passenger front windows and the windscreen can't be tinted at all. This is because the law states that you must allow 70% of light through the window and because...

I've emailed a couple of questioned off to them about the costs, mainly the £20 per landy or per person for the record attempt and also about ordering additional t-shirts and what the chest sizes are so I'll post these up when I get a reply. My biggest thought is, do I take my disco covered in...

if it has a slight curve the best thing to do is 1. start on the outside, 2. use plenty of soapy water to stick the film to the outside of the window, remember to have the bit you peal off on the outside (facing you) so when you fit it on the inside its the correct shape. 3. cut the shape a...

it also has a usb lead on the back which is fed through to the glove box, i haven't tested a hard drive running off it yet but i know you can get 32gb usb sticks now so maybe thats an option. i'll also test the sd card slot for you because I'm sure it'll accept more than 1gb, i'll have to...

I've just put one of these in my disco 1 Halfords | Ripspeed DVD733B DVD/CD/MP3 Player it has a usb cable that can be fed through to the glove box, has aux in on the front for the ipod and also has an sd slot behind the face, plus it plays dvds, i plugged the rear door sub directly into it and...

I was driving around yesterday and saw a BMW X6 sitting on a hill all 4 wheels spinning, I thought "if you daft enough to buy one of those and bring it out in the snow then I'll leave you to it" and drove round him...i've not felt one bit of guilt since lol

most people don't have a clue how to drive when it rains or becomes dark let alone when it snows, seen so many people the last few days revving the life out of their cars and then wondering why their wheels are spinning.

I put Recip Mud Trials 265/75/16 on my 3.9 V8 Disco, they are noisy as f*** on the road and it feels like your driving on a cattle grid when your crawling in traffic but I didn't buy them to drive on the road, haven't got stuck yet at pay n play sites and they were shockingly good driving on...

round town my 3.9v8 auto D1 gets around 13mpg, on a run doing a steady 55-60mph with 33inch mud tyres on it manages 23mpg.

I've got Recip Mud Trials on my D1 and was shocked at how well the managed to grip on sheet ice up a hill the other night, just put the auto box in 2nd and drove up no problem. They are amazing in the mud but was expecting them to be shockingly crap on compacted snow and ice but they did well.

Only ever run my 3.9 Auto Disco on Petrol - running on 33inch M/Ts gets 13mpg working it out from one full tank to the next but thats a mixture of motorway driving, city driving and pay n play.

If your after a set of discovery ES freestyle alloys with road tyres on and a set of wheel nuts and locking wheel nuts let me know, i'm putting modulars on mine this weekend all being well so my ES freestyle wheels with 235/70/16 Pirelli Scorpions with about 5mm tread left, maybe more on a...

Antifreeze was my thought at first, but i'm not loosing any coolant, i actually got a black marker out and marked the bottle, didn't move the disco all weekend and checked it yesterday evening and its the same level. At the weekend i'll get it on ramps and have a good look and turn of...

The trouble with where I live is they don't steal the cars, they steal the bits on them, my neighbour works for Mercedes Trucks Customer Service and had a nice set of LED lights on the top of the Sprinter van, 2am in the morning he had a knock on the door, our other neighbour had heard...

this is why i'm puzzled because its not oil thats dripping, its a bluish liquid, i'm wondering if its something like the pipes on the bottom of the PAS reservior leaking and its running down the rad but i'm not loosing any PAS fluid. I'm guessing it might be marking its territory and at...

hi guys, i noticed over the weekend a small patch of damp tarmac under the disco, crawled underneath and it seems to be coming from the bottom right of the radiator (as you stand infront of the disco facing it) where a hard pipe screws into the rad. I cleaned all the area and was able to...

this is why i'm not doing much offroading for a couple of months whilst i save up to put some heavy duty bumpers on with recovery points. this video is the perfect example :-) YouTube- How Not to Tow a Car - Snowtow Revisited

would love to get out this weekend but i'm off to the BTCC at rockingham so the most offroading my disco will see this weekend is a gravel car park lol would be good to get a localish group of novices together from the midlands for pay and play/greenlaning once a month I'm currently looking...

had the problem with mine today, door opened fine yesterday from the outside handle, tried it this morning and it didn't want to open, so i popped off the little green oval in the door handle, sprayed a little bit of PB Blaster at the mechanism and seconds later the door opened perfectly. :-)
