I needed new shocks all round for my 300TDI. Keen to avoid Britpart and other ****e, I ordered Terrafirma All Terrain shocks. Have a look at their web page: Terrafirma All Terrain Shocks | Shock Absorbers - All Terrain Shocks Accessories for Land Rover Vehicles and the more expensive "Pro...

Anyone up for a trip to Silverdale on 21st Nov?

Slippery huh...

Anyone else go there today? I saw loads of Landies and very few of other makes (must have been a bit wet for them?) and had a great time learning how to use my new winch. The only damage was a floppy rear bumper corner and a banana-shaped track rod, but still made it home under its own steam and...

How much is the cheapest 5W/30 oil and where from? I'll kick it off, by getting my latest lot for £14. Not interested in 205l drums, trade discounts or nicking it from work, just retail prices that anyone can get. Thanks!!

These things: I recently bought a heavy duty bumper but rather stingily, it doesn't come with any recovery points on it. So I have to buy the above. However, I came across this, which suggests they're not safe: bit of advice fitting swivel recovery eyes to my bumper - LR4x4 - The Land...

Not too bothered about winch mounting, but most heavy duty bumpers seem to have it. Lift and recovery points are very useful and all seem to have these. What's a reasonable price for one?

I know it clashes with LRO Billing show (and Briercliffe), but is anyone interested in the pay & play day at Silverdale on the 18th? Its a wooded area with a few openings, plenty of climbs, plenty of difficult paths and swampy/boggy areas too. I think its approx 80-100ac.

..... into Disco 1, 2, 3 and 4. A lot of the technical faults (and therefore posts) which occur on Disco 2s have no relevance to Disco 1, and vice versa. And I suspect Disco 3 and 4 are sufficiently different too. If anything the Disco 1 has more in common with the RRC. Good/bad idea?

This is a Disco 300TDi with R380 manual transmission. I have a dodgy gearchange, the lever doesn't sit between 3 & 4 at rest, instead its all the way to the left (1 & 2). I took off the centre console and riveted on cover, to find this part is broken: I've looked on Paddocks and John...

Apologies for the photobucket skills on the background, but you get the idea. What do you think?

When I did the sills on my Disco, I removed the mudflaps and the little metal brackets they were attached to (the ones that bolt to the floor). These were rusty so if I refit them, I'd need to make new brackets up (not complicated though). My question is - are the Disco mudflaps suceptible to...

Never been to this site, but I've been to plenty of others in the local area Cowm Quarry, Hill & Ditch, Bala 4x4, Tong/Parkwood, Mow Cop, Wern Ddu Farm (in the snow though), and a couple of others. How does it compare?

Anyone know the size of the bolts on the rear seat belts on a Disco 1 300TDi? Its a 5 seater, its the middle seat belt buckles on the floor (not the ones at the side, I know they're 17mm hex). Its some kind of Torx..... thanks....

I have recently bought a Discovery and I'm gradually renovating it, I'm doing a full service including changing all fluids, etc. However I'm a bit stuck on the odds and ends: 1. During changing coolant, it says to do a flush. I have a 300TDi engine, I've read posts saying there's no gasket on...

Hi all, just purchased a LR Discovery from a sheep farm in Wales. Needless to say it was a bargain price! Its just failed its MoT on 10 things, 7 of these are corrosion related and I am happy with welding so shouldn't be a big issue, although its a couple of weeks work in between my (part time)...

....of finding a Discovery VAN (Disco 1 probably) in decent condition, for a reasonable price? Are they a bit rare, or attract a premium, or all worn out due to being a van rather than car?

And before you say it.....don't say 0.4! What's the differences, as in, I know its obviously 400cc engine capacity but does it represent a different series or trim of model, and is it significant enough to worry about? Big difference in performance? Any known reliability issues with the 3.5...

Hi and this is my first post on the site. I'm looking to buy a Range Rover Classic. Basically I'm happy enough to buy a car needing a bit of work, or with no tax/test, and take a little bit of a risk on it. I currently have a Mercedes 300TE (1988) and use it for towing occasionally (car...
