    Do I sell and buy a newer model?

    I’m having issues with the D2 and don’t have the time or patients to fix her. Every time I think I’ve fixed an issues, the next one appears followed closely by the original. I knew what I was signing up for but circumstances have changed and I have less time to play let alone tinker now. so, do...

    as the title suggests, my exhaust is broke. Well, it still works but there is a hell of a rattle and noise from it so I think it is time to replace it. I have seen this one on the net...

Attempted to remove it this afternoon to have it skimmed and there is one but which we cannot access...the front bottom one. Reading Haynes it suggests removing the fan, releasing the tension in...

The rust I found late last year appeared to only be a portion of the issue and the previous owner had cunningly sealed in a lot more which I didn't see when buying her (it was my fist 4x4 purchase, I was excited, it looked ok).

    Disco 2 Have I done something wrong on my lift?

    Apologies for the long post but I thought the more info I can provide the better answer I might receive. And I'm expecting the normal 'have you read the other threads' comments and my answer is yes, but I'm not sure it's cleared anything up, rather its made me wonder have I made a mistake...

    Had my first (small) play this weekend...

    ...and I liked it!:) I was away with a group of Gold DofE participants in the Lake District this weekend on their expedition and brought the disco with the off chance of a play. Fortunately enough one of the other leaders (unbeknown to me) is trained in off roading and the abilities of these...

    Right, thought it time to 'Introduce myself'... Bought my fist LR almost 2 weeks ago, 2004 Disco. Have been after one for years and thought I would treat myself this year for my significant birthday. Have already found this site to be really useful having given me chance to 'fix' some minor...
