Thankyou everybody for your contributions, this gives me a lot to work in and a better nights sleep tonight. Life in the slow lane till its fixed!

Hi guys, I've got a very nice disco 1. I use it to go up to london a couple of times a week from sussex. I've noticed that the steering requires a lot of concentration to keep it centralised. This only seems to happen at speed on the motorway when I feel like I'm getting pushed and...

Gents, I think this just about sums my thoughts and the sentiments are shared in other posts. As long as I get a cast iron price of below £1k I'm gonna go for it. Just more question - I have been running this long distances from London to sussex and back again. Do you think motorway...

Fair point- I'd say in the not too bad category. Been welded. Creeping in places. Looks good though. Pretty mint interior wise. What price would you put all in for head gasket repair at a garage?

Evening guys, Had a bad day.... My m reg disco 1 overheated on the a27. After inspection by a reputable 4x4 specialist in peacehaven, it was inspected and found to be a head gasket. The cars done 120k (300tdi) looks tidy enough and I've ploughed money into her ( cam belt, couple of...

Yes please-any more info on re synching it will be GREAT!!! It's a bloody pain as it is now-especially when I'm trying put my 10 month old in the car!!! It's a 95 m reg with a single button fob. Cheers!

Hey blokes, Had the old girl in for a service and it ended up that the immobilizer started working and I couldn't get it to stop as the key fob is fooked. After investigation, it seems that rather than both the fuel pump and started motor being cut by the immobiliser, it's just the starter...

No, it's a disgrace in my book. As others have mentioned, a drip, drip, drip of manufacturing from here to India will occur- no I'm not talking about in 5 years-we know that investments have been made at plants here, so for the foreseeable LR will be produced here. But if the defender...

I'm sorry, but if I'm to believe what I've read in Land Rover Montly on page 26, the Dave Phillips column, who has said that he has it on great authority that the defender will lock stock and barrel be produced in India after 2015 (I'm not a marketing executive or in any way connected to LRM...

Hi again gents, Further to a post that I put up asking about people's experiences of reliability, Overwhelmingly people's experiences are very positive. The key points that are mentioned over and over again are keep on top of maintenance! What do you regularly do? There must be...

Evening gents, I recently got my first disco-a m reg 1995, that seems to be a good one. Well maintained and with 114 on the clock. I'm just moving from London to brighton and will be working in London. My thoughts are- do you think that with a vehicle of this age, doing a few hundred...

Hi guys, Any news on forthcoming laning? Never GLaned before and would love a go. Please keep the Sussex thread up! Cheers

Was just trying to be a responsible member ;)

See above

Hi gents- if any body could do this I'd be much obliged and very generous too! Cheers, Mark

Hi guys, Roof rack for disco 1 (or a defender 90 will also fit) I'm in London. Cheers for now, Mark

Many thanks for that- would you use new oil instead of old? What cavities are the common ones that could be missed?

Hey fanatic- i got some NEW spare engine oil.....would a 50/50 ratio with the wax oil still make it a good rust killer? As I've heard old engine oil is a good additive

Hi blokes, Your hints and tips please for a DIY er attempting to preserve for posterity my coniston green 95 old lady who's got a few spots of rust round and about. Got a tin of waxoyl and the spray version and a wire brush. 1) prepping: Just wipe and wire brush? 2) paint on the...

Hey bud, I'm in the same game as you, do arb and landscaping. Had a freelander, but although ok at towing, no bootspace to speak of. It got written off by an old lady about a month ago, so I've replaced with an m reg disco. Very very handy...amazing what you can fit in..I've had three...
