Nice one. Thank you for your advice Brian.

Hi All! Now, I've got a bit of a head scratcher, as after finishing quite a few mods I need to tidy the instrument cluster up and there are probably a thousand diffrent ways to do it... A Discovery 2 box with an m57 3 litre engine and a nissan patrol y61 gearbox. I was actually thinking of...

Yep, I know. I have been driving a D1 without any fitted for about 2 months and it was scary... but then the ability off road was just brilliant. I have never got stuck in those 2 months. As soon as I fitted front anti roll bar it was a game over - had to be dragged out of various places. ;) I...

Well, the main reason was to get an extra range on a tank (which will matter a lot, when I eventually set off into a proper overland - i.e. Siberia) and it would be nice to have some power too... I am pretty sure that 300tdi will prove bullet proof if it is looked after and maintained properly...

I am just not sure how this is going to work out with d1 chassis and d2 body. I guess, will have to give it a go and see. The plan is to go for the medium weight +2" terrafirma for both rear and front (for offroad/greenlane trips) and having a spare set of full HD +2" terrafirma for the back...

Thank you for that. I think as with everything like this there is always a catch. Going a bit off the track, I have read your post about lifting D2. I am currently at the stage of thinking and thinking and thinking over, which direction to go with lifting my 1.5. I want to use it for overland...

Thanks a lot!

Allegedly with a turbo mod and a good remap they can squeeze out around 200bhp and nearly 600nm. Plus the fuel economy of 40mpg plus... allegedly... But you are right, this would require a lot of work and even more money, which I don't happen to have atm. Plus a lot of custom built parts for...

No probs with DVLA. Box almost fits onto a chassis but the two rear mounts had to be custom built. 1.9tdi can be tuned up quite easily and is quite popular in US where they fit them to jeeps. It will provide more power and greater fuel economy.

So... I bought my first Disco 300tdi in August last year and fell in love with it. After three months of putting money into it, I have decided there was no point as the back of it started rotting badly. So, I kept thinking and thinking about a new one that will last forever... ;) (I know, I...

Thanks for sharing your view! Really appreciated. We'll go on foot as well, but the major reason behind going "offroad" is that we could do some wild camping in the places, where there aren't many caravans ;) (no offense, please!)

We're starting from Harris and Lewis then down south to both Uists and Barra.

Brilliant info TheQ, thank you! I just didn't know what to expect. Upsetting the locals or driving into their crofts is not an option. Plus I wasn't expecting these lanes to be lenghty. Do you happen to know what it may be like with wild camping over there? Money isn't the issue, we just want...

Sure Guys... I was told that it is a bit more complicated in Scotland and even started reading about it but ended up with a headache... I will be leading a group of responsible people and the last thing I would do was to get anyone in trouble, annoy the locals and bring a bad name to 4x4ers...

I am after some info on the greenlanes in Outer Hebrides, if anyone has any experience or knowledge, please. We are going in 5 rigs with families and would like to see a bit more than just tarmac. I know these trails exist and the views are mindblowing but don't know where to start. Any help or...

Evening Folks! Looking for some info on any available green lanes in Outer Hebrides, as I am planning a trip for 5 rigs in August. I know they do exist and are legal and apparently the views are breathtaking! Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I know, I know... we've got 3 months left and if not him, then maybe someone else will read this? Who knows?

Yep, i know it's a looong shot but hey ho! Nothing to lose!

I am planning a trip to the Outer Hebrides for 5 rigs and would appreciate some tips as to the local trails or maybe, would you be interested in guiding our group? I've sent you a pm.
