    Lanes near Gloucester?

    I just looked up Sailsbury plain, have always fancied it but Google maps says it's actually 90 minutes away, so a 3 hour round trip assuming I don't end up on the back of a flatbed. Looks like I will hold off buying another 4x4 until I next relocate. Doesn't seem worth it for me now...

    Lanes near Gloucester?

    I am thinking about getting a 4x4 again as I do miss getting out in the countryside. Does anyone know if there's much in the way of green lanes or 4x4 clubs within short driving distance of Gloucester? Cheers

    Looking to get back into it - with a UTV?

    Hi chaps, I have been out of the off roading scene for some years, having started with a gaylander, moving up to a disco 300 tdi and arguably downgrading to a Disco 2 TD5. I want to get back into the off road/green lane scene when/if this lockdown ever ends, but problem is I don't have the...

    Disco 2 - any worth having?

    It's a shame as the ones I saw were mint everywhere else but shocking underneath. It's as if they're plagued with it. I am driving around in a trusty saloon car at the moment but I've always been a 4x4 person at heart but come 2017 where D1s & D2s have extinction on the horizon, I've yet to...

    Disco 2 - any worth having?

    Not been on here for years and that's because I have not had a Landy for yonks now! My last was a early Disco 2 which replaced my beloved D1 300tdi. They both suffered from serious chassis corrosion. On my travels today, I spotted two Disco 2 TD5s for sale on a forecourt. One was on a 03 plate...

    When was the dash updated?

    Got my eye on a W reg Defender 90. Looks OK but can't tell if it would have the original type interior/dash or the slightly mordernised one? Anyone know if it would look like this? Cheers

    New Defender - cost?

    Hi, I am thinking of getting a new Defender when it comes out. Does anyone know how much it's likely to cost? Cheers

    2002 Discovery Max tow capacity.

    The vehicle is rated at having a 3500kg gross towing capacity. As for your license though, that depends when you passed your test. I am not 100% sure to the answer to the other question but I suspect it won't unless you buy a kit.

    Adrian Flux Insurance - Unbeatable Savings

    Wouldn't touch Adrian flux again with a barge pole. I used to swear by them and used to recommend them on here (sorry!) but I once had to cancel my policy about 6 months in due to selling my Landy and I didn't get a single penny refunded to me despite not making any claims with them! Reality is...

    New owner loosing the passion !

    I know how you feel. I started with a Gaylander and was forever getting stuck and ripping **** off. Then ended up getting a much older Disco 300tdi which was great for off-roading and it was even my daily drive. I loved the thing but sadly the chassis became so rusty I ended up having to get...

    Took a nearly brand new TDc for a Test Drive

    Don't forget that the Defender is still an old design. It has just been updated over the years to include newer engines and more modern looking interiors in terms of aesthetics. There's no point comparing things like ergonomics and visibility with newer designs. :) As for the "Isuzu D Max". my...

    Rampant rabbit

    Need to buy a Rampant rabbit for a friend's birthday and thought this would be the best place to ask. I don't know much about them. What is it that makes them special and what's the best one to get?

    2001 freelander td4

    Reminds me of my unfortunate gaylander days. If I were you I'd get rid and get a proper Landy.

    Which do girls prefer?

    TD5 or 300tdi 90?

    I am looking for a 90 to replace my TD5 disco. Have been looking for a decent 300 tdi 90 for 6k for a while but they're hard to come by. On the other hand, I have seen loads of 8-10 year old 90 TD5s for the same money, many of which are in better condition. I used to have a 300 tdi disco...

    L series to a Td4

    Probs cheaper and easier to buy a different car. 11 year old TD4's are going for less than £1500 on auto trader.

    my 1st defender looking for another one.

    Have you considered getting a trailer instead? May be less hassle. The 90 is more nimble and there's less to rust. New Paxton Galvanised General Purpose 6X4 Utility Car Van Trailer | eBay

    Soft top 90?

    I found a nice Defender but I'm not sure about it. It's P reg, for 6k. Had its engine replaced in May. (newer one has 120k on the clock) As you can see it has a soft top. Ideal for weather like this. Do you know if it would have been factory fit or is it likely to have had its roof cut off...

    Defender rolling chassis weight?

    You may be better off hiring a beaver tail recovery truck. They're not usually that expensive.

    Sad looking spots

    Spray WD40 on it. Will need re-doing from time to time but leaves a nice finish
