  1. Nice sized trailer for a trip around the UK that, long overdue a visit to this part of the world! Will 🙂
  2. Another vote for std Defender seats, I've done several 500mile days on them with no trouble. I've also driven offroad in seats designed for sports cars and they can give you a right pounding in the kidneys if the car lurches side to side. Will 🙂
  3. Love that, that would suit me down to the ground Will 🙂
  4. Yep Richard (Lil Green Landy) is almost at the refitting the cab stage in his 6 wheeler. I'll see him later I expect, I'll get him to log in and do an update... Will 🙂
  5. got a scope here if you need one.... Will 🙂
  6. Cheers, I'll check this, only a couple of months past its last MOT so bushes should all be ok, it was doing it pre-MOT. Will 🙂
  7. Hi Simon, this is interesting, my D3 ABS is coming on on left hand uphill hairpin bends which I am told is a sign of the steering sensor being a menace. I looked at the cost of a new one and decided it wasn't really that annoying afterall. Looks like a few minutes with the blood rushing to my head in the footwell might be worth trying... 🙂 Will
  8. a mate bought a clarke one for his boat over winter. good bit of kit, much sturdier than a cheap gazebo. well worth £500 Will
  9. For those who haven't seen my Members Vehicles post I have done this on my D3. She is on the std fit New Defender 255/70x18 Michelin tyres and these beauties cost me £500 delivered. Slight rubbing on the front chassis outriggers on std height has been solved with a 2" lift via adjustable rods. No problem with gearing, speedo is no bang on at 60mph and it still pulls up the 1 in 4 hills here happily in 2nd/3rd. I get lots of LR people stopping me and asking about the wheels, personally I think it looks damn good especially on a white Disco. Will 🙂
  10. If you are going to go boating do it properly 😉 Will
  11. I've gone from 20 years of a 110 to a D3 and I love it to be honest. Its quick, economical and reliable so far. Cavernous boot, and air suspension make the practicalities of daily chores easy. Hitching trailers with air-suspension saves lots of effort. I went for the best serviced D3 I could find. In my case an ex-Armed Response Police Car. It's on 174,000miles so far with service history showing a service every 4-6000miles from new, it runs like new still. Theres tons of room inside to sleep, for solo (or two for a short trip) camping it is a perfect car. Will
  12. I shall investigate getting my hands on a nanocom doofa 🙂 Will
  13. Is it possible to tweak D3 suspension settings via some software? I modified my old P38s standard ride height and more specifically the offroad height to deal with a particularly nasty rocky ledge I drive occcassionally. The D3 has the proper HD tow hitch which I do need but it does catch in a couple of places I drive even on offroad height. I know I could put lift rods on it cheaply but don't want to compromise getting my dear old Mum in the passenger seat by raising the access mode. Bigger AT tyres are going to need to happen before too long, I just need to decide what size and whether to stick with 17" or go for 18". Head says 17 for bigger sidewalls, running an L405 on 22s makes you paranoid about sidewalls 😕 Will
  14. Bloody hell, terrible news. I was only looking at some photos of Les a few days ago and thought I should send him a message 😞 RIP Les Will 😞
  15. Nope mine was just not fitted properly and wiggled loose it seems Will 🙂
