I read about a guy that did this to a Disco. It was in one of the Landy comics about a year ago. I'll see if I can find it - I don't think it was in LRO, and that's the one I tend to keep hold of, so fingers crossed!

Cheers

Found something that might help, probably the article I mean, which I'll dig a bit further for...

http://www.lrm.co.uk/mainpages/comment/2003%20Comment/comment%2005.2003.html

So that's refering to May 2003 LRM - I've got Aprils, but can't find May at the moment. Someone must have it?

Cheers

If I remember correctly, one of the mags did an article on a Swiss converted Discovery Pick up. The gist of the article was that, in Switzerland, it was cheaper to run a commercial vehicle than a private car, and so some person or company had chopped a disco, turned it into a commercial type vehicle [ie limited seating capacity with large load bed] but retained the legendary reliability and comfort of a Landrover.
