FridgeFreezer Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I remember that P38 sat at a 45deg angle at slindon as Darthdicky had broken his PTO half way through winching it up a hill... Steve sat there with leather & aircon and radio 3 wafting out while the plebs ran round covered in sh*te attaching ropes and such can't put a price on class! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many would take a Range Rover that new the places Steve did! Also remember the heavy drinking round the camp fire in the evening! We need more events like that again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Got one - just as a I specced her - a V8 Range Rover: Errr, oh, hang on a minute...... OK , so I actually let my head rule my heart and got a cheap 5 seat Disco 2 with the 3 amigos for company. Now need to decide on Nanocom or Hawkeye and start buying suspension (2" lift), wheels and tyres (235 x 85 BFG MT on steel rims) winch bumper and winch and...... Advice on what is best for all of the above (including alternative ideas, no not you Nigel(!) ) would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Errrr.... I *presume* that is a V8 still... Hang on, someone has stuck a RR grille on it, you are saved! I think the Britpart (yes, Britpart) diagnostic tools seem to get good reviews... people will no doubt correct me if not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Always liked that colour, aparrently not very popular back in the day though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Not very rust at all Fridge - chassis is OK - not plated yet other than one out rigger so pleasantly surprised! Will need some TLC but that is to be expected given her age. Sadly a TD5 Bowie - head over heart (tsk!). Remap recommendations anyone....? Trying to find good prices for tyres at the moment..... oh, that reminds me, any recommendations for a sensibly offset steel rim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 chuck a new rad and larger intercooler on, egr and cat blank and a remap should see a nice improvement. I'd avoid alive tuning, Pete bell at BAS is very good. you can get wheel and tyre packages with modulars cheap enough. I would think any cheap 2" lift will do the job. Welcome to the world of D2 ownership, mollycoddle it or treat it like a washing machine. Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err, OK so perhaps I need to retract my last statement! Took the near side shock off it's top mount at the weekend and then did this with my finger nail: so now I need to embark on a more thorough (ahem!) check of the rest of the arse end before plating locally or replacing with a 1/2 chassis! Ho hum, about time I brushed up on my welding fu anyhow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
