Hi Biggmark, so come on then tell us how you inherted a Disco:confused:.
You should fit in well in the Land Rover UK McForums, the majority of members are from north of the border :)

unfortunately my father died,and the disco was his pride and joy.
Had to pay garage £450 for fitting a clutch,that was on sunday then on tuesday bloody electrics went up in flames,another £350,hope its not like this all the time :(

:o Sorry about the way you aquired it.

If it was your Dads pride & Joy it's probably rebelling after hearing what you got in store for it. ;)

[biggmark]

well i`m not going to hurt it( i hope)

Hi Biggmark, welcome to the forum. I'm just over the hill from you and Spotter is in your neck of the woods. He deals in 2nd hand parts too, he may be of some help in the future. What model of Disco is it. I'm in the SWAT off-road club and we have fun days here and there. It's probably best to go along to one of those days and do a little gentle off-road stuff. You'll learn how good Land Rover's are, hopefully without doing any damage.

hi gaz,tell me more :)

[biggmark]

oops forgot........ `h` plate 5 door oil burner think thats a 200tdi good condition until a cowboy mechanic in wolverhampton did the clutch then screwed the wiring up,causing a fire in engine compartment and me nearly having a heart attack lol
