    Technical Archive - ignore me, I'm going senile.

    Good people of this group we have got to the point where there are so many sticky threads on this group that, when using a browser, the actual current threads are no off the bottom of the page by default. Should we give thought to requesting a 'Technical Archive' sub-forum like the Range Rover...

    P38A Should I, Shouldn't I?

    Test drove a P38A this afternoon and want some advice about how best to procede. N-plate 2.5DT with a lot of miles. Clocks read 195k but the engine was replaced with a second hand unit in 2004. 5-6 seconds of cranking to start and a decent plume of smoke but the car has been standing for a...

    For Sale Land Rover Experience - North Yorkshire

    I have a voucher for a full-day Land Rover Experience at the North Yorkshire center. Only catch is that it expires at the end of November so you'd need to get it booked pretty pronto. I'm struggling to get to it due to work commitments. LRE are happy for me to transfer the voucher to another bod...

    Freelander 1 Checking an L Series

    Saw a nice L Series this afternoon. Bodywork in good condition, all the switches work, so a good start. I know all the usual FL1 checks but wondered if one of the L Series fans on here could point out any series specific checks before I take it out for a spin on Monday. 130k on the clock and I...

    Rustproof an old girl

    Opinions please. If you have a Disco 1 that you want to keep and it has a solid chassis and has had all the usual rot points fixed (for the moment) do you think it is worth getting it professionally Dinitrol or Waxoyl treated? Will this keep the rot away and hold it in its current position...

    Fair price for a 200Tdi

    I have seen a nice 3d 200Tdi and I'd like some opinions on how much to offer. I haven't physically seen it though. Bodywork looks OK, some corrosion around back wheel arch. Nothing terminal. Nice sonar blue interior. 10 months MOT, advisory on minor corrosion on one inner wing, brake...

    Buying unseen!?

    I want a P38. Living in Hull there is generally no choice that I can get to easily with work commitments so I was thinking of doing the unheard of and buying unseen of theBay. Would buy from a garage to give some Sale Of Goods protection, and pay by credit card. I would press for a few...

    Service Schedule Document

    Having watched this forum for a while I think it is safe to say that people feel the RAVE Service Schedule is biased towards making servicing look cheap, not to keeping your Disco running at its best. How about we put all the info in one thread including SLS, ACE and all the other options and...

    Dave Smith's Freelander

    Freelander was delivered this morning. The garage drove it to my house which is always a good sign. It's nice to know it can go 15 miles without killing anyone. I have managed to get it into my back garden, just need to clear enough space in the garage now. Photos to follow. Requests for...

    Hawkeye in Hull

    Will anyone be in Hull over Xmas and New Year with a FL1 Hawkeye? Just bought a V6 with some faults and I need a list before I start on them. Don't have the car yet (next Saturday?) and it has no MOT so it can't come to you. There is a bottle of whatever soothes you on offer!:o
