So - a few of me may have seen my previous threads/posts - Ill be the first to admit that Im not a great at fixing cars, particularly when things go wrong (e.g. rusty nuts, other peoples questionable electrical repairs, etc). Im not too bad when it comes to the theory, but then almost anyone can...

So having owned a 3.9 V8 Discovery 1 for a while, and having fed it petrol every 300 miles (if Im lucky) and having had its electronics completely break, I went and had a look for a 300tdi instead. I found one not too far from me, and went to have a test drive. I knew it wouldnt be as quick as...

Hi, Ive noticed that some hicaps have the standard defender GVM of 3000kg, and some have 3500kg. Other than the V5, is there any way to tell them apart? If I bought a 3000kg one and then needed a higher payload, can I do some changes and get the payload increased by the DVLA? On a less relevant...

Ive been offered a rotten 200tdi disco in part ex for my V8 discos. I dont really want it, but its the best offer Ive had. I fancy a 200tdi RRC, so I had a quick look and found an early 90s 4 door without an engine with a few other bits missing. It used to be a V8 auto, and its very cheap, the...

So Ive decided to sell, I want them gone ASAP really, open to offers https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1409764772923493/

So, after owning a 3.9 V8 manual D1, and loosing quite a substantial chunk of change on it, I've decided I'm going to sell it and get something else. The TDI land rovers are just too slow and agricultural, and they handle rather poorly on the road, so I've decided to look at something a tad...

Help/advice needed. 3.9 V8i manual discovery 1996. Before Xmas it decided not to start. It turns over, very nearly fires, but doesnt. Im at uni so have basically no tools at all. EZ-start makes no difference, so its a spark issue. I bought a sparkplug to test it, and it sparks once when I first...

So my friend and I plan on doing a trip this summer to the Pyrenees, and we'de love some advice regarding the route. We're planning for 3 or 4 weeks, and we'll either be going in my 1996 3.9 V8 Discovery, or a 200tdi manual Range Rover, if Ive made the switch by then (hopefully, because it...

So, erm, hi! Ive currently got a 1996 D1, but dont worry, this is a series related post! Im thinking of getting a 109 in place of my discovery, since im getting a car for daily/speedy stuff, so Im wanting a land rover to do land rover stuff only, and something simpler/easier to work on etc. So...

So, Im a newbie, this could be in the wrong place, if so, move it. Anyway, after doing some shopping for a new toy, I tried a defender, too cramped in the shoulder area. I tried a RRC, not enough headroom, so I looked for a disco. Perfect one came up, 3.9 V8i, manual, 86k miles, decent enough...
