    Finally got the discovery!

    Took me almost a month, but finally got one! 2004 td5, black, top spec pursuit model with manual transmission! It towed my 1.7 tonne jaguar back from chesire superbly. I don't have any of my own pics, just those off autotrader. Now to get a new engine for my defender... :doh::eek::D...

    GS, XS, or ES

    Well, I'm just about decided on a discovery 2, facelift model, probably a 2003 or 2004. The question now is which spec, since you seem to be able to quite a nice 2003 GS or XS for 6-7k, while you'll be paying about 8.8k for a nice ES or Landmark. Since I can't find a sales brochure online...

    Discovery 2 brochure

    This may sound strange to some of you, but can anyone tell me where I can download/view a brochure for the discovery 2 facelift model? I just want to know a little about the options/equipment etc, before I go trying a few out. Thanks

    Discovery series 1 or 2?

    Oh Hai:p:behindsofa: I started a thread earlier about my current situation in the general land rover chat section. Unfortunately (though understandably) this has turned into a "have a moan about the LEZ thread", so I am going to post here. :nospamhere::D Basically, I have to move to surrey, and...

    Need a civilised landy :(

    Looks like I may be up for my 3rd landy in 4 months. I bought a ex mod 90 in september last year, and sold that a week or two for a 200tdi 110 csw. Unfortunately, a week later the engine seized due to a broken conrod, and is now sitting in the back of my "mechanic's" "work"shop while he...

    Engine seized?

    Hello everyone... So I turned the key in my 110 200tdi this morning and... nothing. So I tested all the obvious things out (battery, starter&switch, ignition switch, etc) and all work fine. All the lights come on and go off on the dash as they should, the last time it was used was saturday...

    Essential protection for 110

    Hello all, I just traded my old 90 in for a 200tdi 110 csw. My 90 had all sorts of underbody protection (diff guards, steering guards, etc), however the new 110 seems to be bog standard. What are the essential parts I should put on before doing anything serious, if any? Most of the stuff I do...

    Parking in gear with handbrake off

    This may sound like a silly question to some, but will parking on a flat surface with the handbrake off, and the vehicle in gear damage the transmission? I was always taught to do this, but I've noticed that no one ever does it. Anyone?

    100 inch defender

    I sense an impending flogging... Did land rover ever make a defender with a 100 inch wheelbase? I seem to vaguely remember something like this, but it seems to have slipped me. I have tried my friend google, but it appears that he too is stumped. Anyone help?

    Getting mud and water in footwells

    Just out of interest, does anyone with a land rover such as a range rover classic (any with carpeted footwells) worry about getting stuff like mud, muddy water, etc in the footwells and having the carpets soak it all up and stinking the vehicle up for eternity? Wouldn't all that stinking water...

    How reliable/unreliable has your defender been?

    I'm just verifying a few things before I set out to buy one... I know it's pretty hit and miss with landies, everyone says the freelanders are the worse things ever in terms of reliability, but my dad had one for 6 years and the only problem he ever had was a blown head gasket (once). Like, I...

    Best place for the spare wheel?

    Hello everyone, I'm just wondering where the best place to put the spare wheel on a defender 90 is. I'm told that mounting it on the bonnet introduces bonnet release and visibility problems, door mounted ones cause the door to fall off, and swing away mounts are expensive and you can't see out...
