    Ok so Swindon is only 8 miles square, but has a LR scrap yard and 2 independent Retailers and a TH Whites, who even keep in stock swivel pin shims and cv end float shims for D1's.

    Disco 1 Insurance

    it because Series 1 landrovers dont have thatcham cat 1 or cat 2 alarms fitted, this is why Aviva wont insure it - so now I have to weigh up the cost of fitting a cat 1 alarm vs paying an extra £500 a year insurance on a £1000 Disco!
