  1. Personally, I was very sad to hear the news... No matter what he was like, losing a parent is no laughing matter, I wish his family all the best.
  2. Hi, I'm thinking of getting an automatic 200 series disco. I know there isn't too many of them around, but I've seen a few of them floating around on eBay and they tickle my fancy a little bit. I'm quite seriously thinking of 'investing' in one. I was wondering if it's a combination that works well as my only experiences have been with a TD5 disco and a 300, both manuals. It wouldn't be for the daily commute or anything, it would be purely for the rough stuff and greenlanes, which is why I thought the auto might be appropriate. Any experiences/comments(helpful ones, mind)/ suggestions much appreciated. Ta. Al.

  4. I would recommend it, my dad swapped in his evo 8 for one and has never looked back! It's a facelifted version, late 2002, bonatti grey ~ B) Just returned from a 700-mile round trip from Scotland and it never missed a beat. Was perfect, returned 30MPG, even with all the big hills, kept a steady 70MPH on the twisty roads, reasonably quiet and VERY comfortable. It's getting taken off-road soon It's a non-ACE truck but it feels feels very solid, and stable throught the corners, and the only person I know with one that's got ACE had problems with the system! Mine's a manual, which is just as relaxing as the auto, but with better fuel consumption and a lil extra oomph when you need it at junctions and the like...although he hankered for an auto at first. My advice is that it's a practical, comfortable and very capable Landy that is reliable and best of all reasonably cheap to run, compared to an evo at least.. The earlier ones represent the best value for money, too.
  5. Hey people, It's been a long time since I logged onto this forum and I apologise if this has already been discussed, but I was wondering if anyone knows what the angle is for a twist-off ramp. I.e. what angle would I need to set the ramp up for if I was making my own. Whoever answers can have the first go on mine when it's built Cheers. Al.
  6. What a waste of a Landy! I hope he's not serious...
  7. Does no one think about economy??????? VI2's,V10's, 1000lb V8's??? Good luck....
  8. i've heard the quality isnt brilliant. they seem to crack quite quickly, however you cant really complain at there prices!
  9. I'm inclined to agree, especially the engineering the outcome part of it (I'm pretty sure that 5th gear's matching a series1 disco with a three year old espace was a bit wide of the mark).
  10. Actually it was a fiat estate And he put in 6th at 30!! Any car would lag. Before you ask me dad drives one!!
  11. TV Producers are always going to engineer the test so that the results are more shocking! Guarantees better ratings!
