AFAIK when the wheels catch, you need to do the camel cut at the back and trim the side-bumper bits at the front, even with a lift. Even though you don't need a lift, it does make the car look nice. Did you do anything else to the disco, such as extend the brake lines? I'm looking to do the...

I'm just waiting on a couple of applications, have an interview with the met office for data storage of their big 'pooter. And also NHS as IT support for the fun equipment. Do you know of some available jobs? :P Stibbs is the one! The misses lives close to that, and she is getting a new car...

Has anyone tried any lanes around Lee Mill or Ivybridge area? There are a few on the map Mike psoted a few pages ago, and they match up with what is on here I walked past the one west of Ivybridge when I was working there for a couple of days, it seemed suitable and is labled as an "Unmetalled...

Thanks for the replies, I think I'll bite the bullet and take it to a proper mechanic then. Fixing doors on a defender was very easy compared to this, but it's great to be a part of the Disco club

I bought my first Discovery about a month ago, and loving it! It's so much more comfortable than my Defenders! It's a Discovery 1 1998 XS in pretty good condition, but it has a few teething problems. The worst of which, are the doors. After having two old defenders, this electrical malarkey is a...

Let me know if you are going somewhere, I could do with giving my "new" Disco a spin in some off-road situations

After living near Plymouth for a couple of weeks recently, I have to agree that it is a wasteland

Interested in a 110 300tdi hard top? As seen in the picture above ^^ £2700, bargain!

Welcome! I hope to see you on the roads... look for a wave from a white 110!

I'm staying at Lee Mill currently and would be up for some local lanes. Not just yet, the landy is a bit poorly and at the garage :( Are there any good lanes nearby to Plymouth?

Its more of a case of having a flick through stuff and going "Oooh, I might be able to use that one day" :P

I had a 2.5 petrol 90 and it was great fun. I could sit in 4th gear and it pulls really nicely on low revs, but the cost of fuel is why I sold it. I was spending around £200 a month on fuel, with my 300tdi 110 costing me about £100ish a month atm. Speed is also noticeable, I would struggle along...

Its a shame you live so far away :/

My 110 hardtop 300tdi had a load of thick sponge insulation around the footwells and transmission tunnel, but it soaked up water from all of the leaks and was causing some major rust. Until all the leaks are sealed, I won't use any mats/carpets/foams to reduce noise. But my biggest problem is...

Doors seem crazily expensive... it might be worth having a look at these My doors are rotted through and getting the old series style doors looks to be the cheapest option. I don't know if they fit the modern Defenders though...

Yep yep!

For a while I have been looking for a split tailgate to fit a defender hardtop as I quite like how the old Range Rovers open up. I've seen the pics of Trewey's which I really like, but I don't have the skills, confidence, tools or time to do it myself. There are a few of them driving around...

Autobots, roll out!

The hazard switch is pretty cheap on ebay, might be easiest to change it rather than try to fix the switch

Maybe a couple of coats on the doors :P
