Stick it all in the shed, or it'll be gone by tomorrow...

Mine is knocking on the door of 100k - 1999 V8 :) Although I suspect that mileage is NOT genuine :p

Congratulations :p Don't be put off by the inevitable banter that will be coming your way ;) Remember they're jsut jealous of your monocock :lol:

If you want a cheap one, look at the Makita LCT303W kit... It has an ickle 10.8v drill driver impact wrench and torch... All surprisingly powerful for their size, but it's only 1/4". If you want 18v, one of these... MAKITA BTW251RFE 18V 1 2 Impact Wrench

Factor in though that V8's have lower residuals than the diesels, so cheaper to buy in the first place ;) I've got a Fiesta diesel that I run everyday, so quite happy to have the V8 to fire up at the weekends :D

On a mixed drive I get around 15mpg on LPG and around 18mpg on petrol. If you take 25mpg on diesel as the ball park.... Diesel: £1.36 x 4.54 = £6.17 per gallon = £0.25 per mile LPG: £0.80 x 4.54 = £3.63 per gallon = £0.24 per mile Petrol: £1.35 x 4.54 = £6.13 per gallon = £0.34 per...

MOTest in Camberley, up on the Old Dean estate... The chap looked under my Disco and just checked I knew about all the leaks... didn't even record them as advisories. Plus they do a proper brake test with a meter, not try and put it on the rollers!

An interesting point for sure... I can see JLR selling the rights to the Defender to an independant company who will produce them in limited numbers for army/tractor use. I'm sure there's a caveat somewhere which allows vehicles to bypass EU safety requirements if they're sold in small enough...

I like that one, has a hint of Disco 2 in it :D

I've slept in my Disco 2 a few times... I'm 6ft5 and in the end settled on sitting sideways on the rear bench with my head up the door. (there was stuff in the boot). Passenger seat was comfy too when it was fully reclined until it stopped going backwards and forwards :(

I take it everyone has seen these bad photochops?

We sell Makita 115mm grinders here at work for £25+VAT ;)

Tempted to pop across there - never been before :o

You wouldn't believe how alarmingly accurate that is :doh::doh:

At work I access LZ using a computer and the power of greyskull. At home I will generally peruse from the iPad whilst drinking beer and having a ****.

Have a go urself ;) Land Rover Series 2 Rebuild Project: Wiper Motor Restoration

My Disco goes into Challenger 4x4 in Tongham (near Farnham/Aldershot) They even came out and did my Crank Sensor on the driveway to save me getting it recovered there :)

reported :)

We also had a case locally of up to 6-month old high end Beemers and Mercs being stolen... The thieves had people working on the inside of dealerships, usually in parts department. When a new car was processed which matched an order they had, the chap at the dealer ordered in a spare key...

Yes. In Discovery terms, the old Disco1 has the 3.9 GEMS V8 with Lucas acilliaries, and the Disco2 instroduced in 1999 has the 4.0 V8 (still really a 3.9) with Bosch ancilliaries. Not sure when these were introduced on the RR, but there certainly was an engine change which conincided with...
