Hi guys, I'm heading back to Bristol for the weekend. If anyone needs anything taken up there or back then give me a shout, haven't got a landy or a trailer, so it must fit in my shoddy 306! :) Keats

Thanks for the help, maybe this will help push my landy purchasing! The Luton vs tree part was fun, pretty sure the Luton won ;) and it doesn't look very steep in the photos, but it was honest! :p

Thanks for the help guys, got Billy coming later on to give it a pull up, should just be a tow rope job as we can get half way up but that's all. We managed to get cars up in the damp, it's just the front wheel drive minibus and big van that we can't do because it's just too slippy. (They're...

There is that, but think about the paperwork after!

We can't push it up because it's quite steep and we don't particularly want to run anyone over :p

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone was able to help us out. I'm away camping with my scout group in Wembury near plymstock, and the campsite is down the bottom of a big hill with crap surface. We've got the cars and one minibus out, but we still have another minibus and a big van stuck at the...

Get a puller, they're cheap enough :)

Cheers for the advice, I'll keep an eye open in the papers

Okay cheers. I was also thinking about getting a lower spec then buying the interior from someone breaking one, how hard is it to fit it all and wire everything up? Are all the wires there, or will they need fitting too?

Maybe i should rephrase "that isn't going to fall apart rust wise" too : with minimal rust, that i don't have to worry about for a year or 2 :)

Don't want the TD5 because of the problems and too many electric thing it relies on to run! And they're also most costly to improve due to ECU remapping. Plan is to go offroading every so often, but also having a comfy car for on the road :)

Thanks ;) I have seen a few around, but they are few and far between!

So, the time has almost come where i can start looking for my first landy! it'll be within the next month or 2! :D I'm looking for a manual 300tdi disco, preferably the ES model (upgrading from a Rover mini) would quite like some creature comforts - even if they aren't likely to work?! Hoping...

Right, so this probably wont interest anybody - but, you never know! Only really suitable for someone in plymouth/bristol(i'll be in plymouth until march) then back to bristol for summer I have a casecomm 6788 computer case for sale (upgraded mine for one with slightly more functions)...

This seems unfair when you're getting quotes for different cars and potential mods you want to make - Stupid system really!

The undercutting wasn't intended for just yet, it was as you suggested for when i got one :) also, if i told them that i had modified the exhaust system, do you think that would cover the EGR removal? technically is the exhaust system - i think? :rolleyes:

ahahh i bet the insurance wasn't that much more either! and i've driven lots of things before - at the garage i worked at, and dads even let me drive his porsche 996 a couple of times - which technically i wasn't insured on, but we didn't know that at the time! :P

ahah yeah... or it'll always be broken :P I'm actually considering this now, wonder what my dad will think, it's a big upgrade from a rover 1.3i mini

yupp and check for rust... else it gets costly! (still learning to weld, don't hate) :P Insurance on a V8 is about 130-150 cheaper than the diesel... how is that possible:confused::confused: i'm thinking lack of turbo?

I'm sure fueling would be alright, live north of the M5/M4 junction slightly, quite near Bristol so there would be somewhere there, and during term time i live in the center of Plymouth, must be somewhere around there :P yeahh, and alot of the v8's i've seen have leather ;) not that that's...
