Gentlemen, After my reasonably successful trip to Portugal earlier this year I intend to do a similar thing next year but to cut down the mileage a bit. So France it is and as last year I am looking for a few like minded people to join us. I'll be getting the ferry from Portsmouth to Le Havre...

Gentlemen, I have an urge for an Offroad camper van. Should I sell my super reliable D1 and buy a Mitsubishi Delica? Is that 2.8 any good? Do I need therapy? I await your valuable advice.

Gentlemen, Have just had a new timing belt (dayco) and pulleys (britpart) fitted to my Disco 300tdi and I've noticed that the performance has dropped a little. I guess by about 10%. Has anyone else experienced this? Or do you thing my mechanic got something one notch out?

Gentlemen, your opinions please. A mechanic friend of mine has just replaced the timing belt on my Disco 300tdi with a dayco belt and britpart pulleys. However, now the engine seems to have a little less oomph. I realise that a new belt could potentially give slightly different timing to an...

I have a (mostly) off road route from Central to Southern Portugal which I am planning to follow next year but I need a few like minded people to join me. Meeting place and date would be the campsite at 'Coja' probably on the 17th or 18th of August. I do have a small amount of flexibility...

A 'P' plate Defender 90 with 'Dixie' written on the back joined the A3m heading south yesterday and astounded me with its speed, exceeding the limit whilst going up hill easily keeping up with all the Audis in the fast lane. Does any one out there know the power plant of this beast? I'm...

Gentlemen, Have just fitted a set of General super all grip radial tyres 7.50 x 16 to my P plate Disco. What tyre pressures would you recommend? I'm currently running at 35 psi all round although the max load written on the tyres says 65 psi. Cheers, Vince.

My D1 clutch pedal is on the floor. I'm 99% sure it's the clutch fork that has failed so it's a gearbox out job. I would be foolish not to get a new clutch fitted at the same time so I'm looking at prices. Britpart clutches are nice and cheap but are they any good? Or should I spend more and buy...

Chaps, Should the diff lock sign be illuminated on a 300 tdi disco when the ignition is turned on, then go off when the engine is started ( assuming the diff lock is off )?Cheers, Vince.

I have gps waypoints and a map of a (mostly) off road route from Central to southern Portugal. I would like to do this route next year meeting in Central Portugal (coja) on either 12th July or 31 august 2014 but need a few like minded people to join me. I guess that the route will take about a...
