Life has asked more of me than I want to give for the moment so I'm taking a trip. I have about two weeks. My plan is to end up in Jackson, Wy. from Brunswick, Ga. (there and back) It is a big route. I'll be using the North way (transecting Nebraska). I don't have any interest in the...

Hello everyone- I was wondering if anyone had some insight (or pics) of a D1 with a Safety Devices roof rack fitted...with a RTT? Ive seen a D2 with a rear opening mount and kind of like the idea. I'm also a tad curious as to how the tent sits in the rack. It looks fairly deep to me. Thanks, HC

Hello everyone- Would love to find a gently used set of seat covers for my 1995 D1. I'm looking for this color and configuration. Thanks so much!

Recently got back into a D1 after a long (soulless) sojourn into "mechanical reliability". I've come to the conclusion that you either ARE a LR person or you are not. I've tried to explain the fizz to my brother in law. He rolls his eyes, raises the (perfectly operational) window of his 100...

Then went on a 3 day motorcycle ride to the mountains. Got in the Disco this evening to continue my worklist. Stuck again. 3 days.... Console removal....x2... "These are the days that try men's souls."

I have a K7 DL650 Vstrom and have enjoyed the bike a great deal. I've logged over 30 thousand trouble free miles over my years of ownership and it has shown no signs of flagging. In spite of this....I feel like a move to something different, perhaps a bit bigger. Maybe its the persistence of...

Hello all, I have decided that after years of wanting to hunt Elk, I'm going to stop wishing and just go. I am an experienced hunter- in the east anyway. I am not a stranger to sleeping outside and I'm fit (job requirement). I'm reading all I can and I'm spending a good amount of time watching...

Haunting Ebay for various spares for the ol' boy (96 Disco), I came across this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CARTER-P76498M-Fuel-Pump-Strainer-/370766126150?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A1996%7CMake%3ALand+Rover%7CModel%3ADiscovery&hash=item5653621c46&vxp=mtr ...must be brand...

So....I have a friend (and fellow LR deviant) in Manchester that has offered to containerize and ship "the holy grail" and all necessary ancillaries to me here in the states. Beyond- and this is a request- all of the "don't do it for financial reasons" arguments, what are the practical import...

Or so my wife says...when I point out (like an excited boy pointing at a passing fire truck) the series LR in the background of the Progressive Insurance commercial.

So- I have recently acquired a 27' travel trailer that easily outclasses my Disco in terms of towing. I see this as an excuse to get my hands on a square body Suburban. I have always loved those tough American iron barges. We will be towing the trailer out west from Georgia. I expect the truck...

Apologies to the purist in our company. My stock fan clutch was dead and I was beginning to get the worrisome heat spikes in traffic and off road. After researching the alternatives I decided to try the GM unit (....research seldom leads to GM, I know....) I made the decision based on...

So I've been driving the disco the 45 miles to work more often than I should. It's just such an easy thing to do- even though I know I should be riding the bike (50+mpg). I just love being in it and I love how good I feel when I get to the shop. Money isn't everything. All of that to say that I...

This probably belongs in "Fireside chat" but the audience here seems a bit more sympathetic to the story... My son is going to take his driving (license) test today and has been jittery about it all week. Last night he came up to me and asked if he could use my Disco to take the test rather...

Gents, I have suffered my first window regulator failure. Not a big deal, other than missing the wind in my (ever fading) hair. My question comes as I look through the manual and notice hand crank windows... Has anyone here ever switched out the guts of their electric window equipped doors...

I bought a set of alloy wheels for my Disco a few months ago from a parts truck. Now I find that I would like suspension parts more than I want two spares... The wheels are 5 spoke (round) both in great shape and are currently shod in a set of Michelin LTX (255/65 16). The tires may work for a...

So... yesterday I was underway working near (a local Navy base) and lo and behold there at the pier was the HMS Ocean flying the biggest Union Jack I have ever seen. I was really impressed with the ship and her assault boats until I saw on the pier several Defenders that looked like they had...

So my first hiccup with the Disco 1...and I let myself down a bit. On the way home from work two days ago I noted the smell of coolant in traffic. Now, I live in the southeast and it gets pretty warm this time of year- so coolant is second only to the smell of melting asphalt in the traffic...

Does anyone have an alternative to Bilstein shocks (for a 96 Disco)? I realize that all sorts of companies make shocks that fit but I'm looking for a good cost/performance comparison. Thanks, DB

First post to this great forum. Alright...so I have waded through all of the information and have decided that a Generation 1 Montero is the right starting point for my purposes. I would appreciate any of your wisdom as it concerns things to look for when "interviewing" a truck. I'm a...
