Ah mate, I know where you are - pretty bloody close. :) Let me know when you fancy going laning? Im keen to get out as much as possible now its sort of working... Must be all the gearbox oil in the water!?!

Cheers dude. Ha - whereabouts in Tring? I'm close by. Green lane day sounds good, where did you have in mind?

Billing did seem expensive this year!

Yeah the main thing to look for is as above, if it is "just" the boot floor panel that is rusted its not too bad. It does become more difficult if the rust is around the join of this and other areas. Its entirely possible of course, but you have to start making little bits of replacement body to...

I hope the photos are not too big. As you can see its pretty old, in fact I have a feeling that it is one of the original Farley Husky winches because of the sticker. Anyway, as you can see the cradle is quite rusty but it is a Disco 1 cradle and a genuine Superwinch one. I am hoping to...

So the most exciting update for me is that I have finally purchased a winch. Yipeee etc. :):):):) Always wanted one, and like the idea of being able to do more green lanes as and when we feel like it, and have an option if the worst does happen. So after reading up, there were two options short...

235/75's buddy. The funny thing was I was having no luck at all getting some decent used ones at a sensible price, then a mate I do track days with mentioned he had a set and even delivered them the next day. :) He hadn't mentioned that they had only been used for a couple of off road days, so...

This thread needs pics! I want to do the same to mine. :)

What a great project. Raw ingredients of a superb looking 300tdi Defender and a galv chassis sound excellent. Good luck.

Thanks for all the replies. It makes me feel better knowing that other owners have the same logic re cost, performance and capability. At the weekend I went to the Billing show, in what other vehicle could you drive there on the motor way, load up with a few spares, take around a quite...

I know what you mean. I want to keep it, but not sure for how long - suppose that is the million dollar question really.

Thanks for the reply. I think I just need to man up a bit! Its difficult to find the time to work on it though with work and everything else. Perhaps a nice day out at the land rover show this weekend will help boost moral/buy parts!

Looking really good mate, keep up the good work. Makes me feel a bit of a pansy for moaning about mine¬! :)

Struggling a bit today! I have had my 2nd Disco 1 300 tdi for about six months now. Its a solid machine as it had all metal work done by previous owner over a 2 year period, but it did stand during this time. I do love them, but am I right to be reluctant to spend much more money on it? Its...

Where are you and what are the 4 doors like buddy?

Hi All, Thought it was about time I (re) introduced myself with my new, 18 year old Disco expedition/workhorse/green lane/snowmobile project. I had one previously which was superb, and I did 45k miles in it including a trip to the arctic circle, but she was sadly quite rotten in the end so...

Hi mate, I could do Monday if anyone is tempted?
