There is a very real possibility that Devon County Council will advertise the possible enforcement of a TRO on Hiller Lane (see SX8870-2a on the wayfinder site) in the very near future. As a local laner I'm very concerned about this and would like some help/advice. I have it on VERY good...

These two guys helped me to arrange an excellent laning holiday in the Lake District, where I drove some of the best lanes in the country! Outstanding holiday thanks to the help from these two landy enthusiasts. Thanks guys, Chris Jones. :D :D :D P.S. We didn't drive the access only 'lane'!

I am taking my Disco into the Snowdon area for a week, next week, and would like to take in a couple of drives whilst we are there. They need to be fairly gentle lanes as the Disco has an LPG conversion, of which the undersill tanks mean marginally reduced ground clearance (think side-steps)...

Will be bringing the D90, the roof tent, and the missus up to the Lake District for the period of 31st July to 7th August. We are keen to get a few drives in and so I thought I'd find out if anyones going to be around during that time frame to meet up, talk shop, and take in some stunnning...

I have a 1996 V8i es Disco, just came home from a short run (around 18 miles) and have found a leak. It seems to be water (clear, though with a slight yellowish tinge, and with no smell) and is coming from a strange location. On the underside (inside) of the transmission tunnel, drivers side...

I've got a 1996 V8i ES auto, which has started making quiet squealing noises every-so-often when cornering. I thought that I'd best check the swivel housing fluid levels but have come up against a problem. I can locate the filler plug, no problem, but can't find either the drain plug or the...

Hi all, I recently answered a post somewhere in the forum where a couple of people where asking about LPG conversions. As I have recently had my V8 disco converted I said I'd post up my verdicts once the run-in period, and subsequent tune-up were complete. Well, its done. Am I happy...

I recently bought a '96 V8i ES auto (on a P plate) and, as it has never previously been used offroad, the transfer box is sticky as hell! I can now get low ratio engaged, though it doesn't always stay there, but the diff lock just won't work. I can push the lever over, and even get the light...

Just a brief view of a recent, very positive trip we took: Spent around four hours today driving the highways officer for Teinbridge round some of our local lanes. Come the end of the afternoon he was a complete convert to GLASS, green lane driving, and 4x4 use in general (when used by safe...

I've seen the wheel arch spats on offer from D44 but would like to get a set of S2 style arches to fit my S1. I know the S2 had all new body panels, except the rear door, but wondered if the S2 arches will fit the S1? Does anyone know if this is the case? If so is there somewhere other than a...

Any thoughts, feelings, ideas regarding fitting wheel spacers to an S1 Disco to widden the track? Chris

I was thinking of getting a tirfor hand winch for light, occassional use when out in my Disco. Does anybody have any experience with these winches? What sort of stowage space do they take up? Any thoughts or info will be appreciated. Chris

Just took my 1996 V8 ES auto out on the lanes for the first time. Thouroughly enjoyde the experience of off-roading in luxury but am a little concerned; the switch panel behind the gear selector and handbrake was getting extremely warm/hot. The engine temp gauge stayed roughly half way through...

I have just watched the BBC lunchtime news, more specifically their article regarding the closure of several vehicular rights of way within the Dales. As a disabled user of Landrover products I am outraged that this authority is allowed to exercise such blatant prejudice against me. I would...

Hey all, I'm considering looking for an early model V6 auto to use as my daily transport and have several questions before I start looking around: 1) Are there any known reliability probs with this engine (not withstanding the usual FSH only, etc)? 2) Are there any known reliability probs...

Aloha all, I'm considering buying a vehicle specifically to modify for both CCV and RTV competition. I would like to spend in the region of £3k on initial purchase and all necessary parts, and can carry out most work myself (exceptions being welding and heavy lifting, i.e. engine out). I...

Poor percy has very tired suspension and is in dire need of a new set of of springs, shocks and bushes. He will be getting poly-bushes, regardless of which set-up we go with. Last weekend we competed in our club RTV trials and found that we were scraping the chassis on just about every bump...

Aloha all!!! I'm busily preparing my 200TDi 90 for some serious wading. I've got all the raised breathers to run up into my raised intake but have hit a snag whilst sealing the intake pipework. Just behind the outer wing skin, below the original intake, is a small rubber grommet, which I...
