Adrian Flux here on some type of classic policy but it's still £350 a year which is £100 more than I pay for my Lotus including track day cover. Same mileage, same NCB, same everything except the Disco is a lower insurance group and worth less.... Can't figure out Land Rover insurance. Seems...

As a straight swap you'd get a decent Discovery 2 but mechanically and electrically they're more complicated than the 1. I have a late Discovery 1 which is well spec'ed with leather, auto etc but no sunroofs so they are out there. Don't know what others have found, but I reckon they don't age...

Thanks. Good to know the width is OK. I guess more of a question mark over the length.

Around 80% of the elements in my heated windscreen aren't working so I've just got a thin strip just to the left of the middle that's working and that's all. Are the elements likely to be repairable, could it be a connection problem, or am I basically likely to be stuffed and need a new screen...

I'm after a full length roof rack for my D1. Preferably something like the safety devises ones with the rear section without side bars or lips so the whole top profile front to back is flat and I can easily fit a roof tent at the back. There are some such things advertised on ebay but for the...

Toad - many thanks for the offer. As I have a '98, I'm sure it will be a cream one. I tried the test of the MFU sensor this afternoon but there was no response from the MFU at all. No clicks or beeps so I guess that means the problem is with the unit itself....... My first port of call will...

Toad - great that that's cured it. I'll be taking a look tomorrow but reading your comments and other people's I'm convinced I've got the same problem. I hoping it's just a loose connection but I guess that's not so likely and I'll need the new unit. As I have a late D1 (R reg) it will be...

Brilliant - thanks both. That's my job for Saturday then. Toad - will let you know if that cures it.

Being new to Disco ownership I don't know if this is common or easily fixed (hoping for both) but a number of the electrics in my '98 300tdi seem to have suddenly packed up. Currently it's looking like rear screen heater, rear wiper, interior light (but only when set to come on when door...

Hi all, Has anyone ever had any dealings with Walton Motors, Land Rover Specialists in Cranleigh, Surrey? I did a search but couldn't find much. I'm interested in views - good, bad or otherwise - on them including after-sales service. TIA

Looks fantastic - well done! Wish I could do half of that to my 300tdi.

Not directly relevant to your question, but I use one for our Audi and find them to be great. Very convenient and good value. Mine has a garage as well for big jobs but mostly it's mobile. I think if you find a good one (eg a specialist in a given marque) they're a good thing. I do think...

Welcome from another Kent newbie. Hope you have better luck with the second one. I've just recently bought a 300tdi and am hoping it isn't going the same way as your first - jury is out currently.

I'm hoping it's the tyres + me getting used to the vehicle :D If it persists then next stop will be the suspension.

Thanks all - quite a range of opinion it seems :) I'll start from 30 and 36 and take it (probably up) from there. Never heard of the chalk test before but I can see the logic in it. Re the comment of what do I mean by soft, it's a fair point and maybe part of it is that I just need to get...

Hi, Still getting used to my new Disco 1 and have a qu regarding tyre pressures that people tend to run. I have Pirelli Scorpian 235/70/16 and have suspension raised a couple of inches and am finding things feel a little soft. Any views on the right pressure for noirmal road use? There seemed...

Ta. Will do.

So, a quick update. Bought a Disco 1 '97 300tdi auto. Got it from Walton Motors in Cranleigh who had a good range of cars and offered to fix most things that needed doing (waitng for them to fix a few things). It's kitted out for off-roading although I've yet to test that. Any...

Hi. Just signed up so I thought it only polite to introduce myself! I don't own a LR, and in fact don't own any type of 4x4. I have a Lotus for fun in the summer, but have been thinking for some time now that a cheap 4x4 might provide some off-road fun and also double up as a family wagon...
