Re: West Coast Easter 2009 (10-13 April) WESTPORT

Hi All,
I have not done any trips or met anyone off the forums yet, but I will be over on the Coast for easter and would be quite keen if a Discovery is allowed to join in the fun?

Re: ABS off road

I agree with ABS being bloody dangerous off road! I usually pull the fuse out of my disco, but didn't bother when I went in for an easy drive to the head of Lake Sumner. Coming down the final stretch I put my brakes on, to stop, and lo and behold, that shitty pulsing began. just about took me off ...

Re: Lock-Right Lockers vs ARB Lockers.

Yeah, I do drive a Disco, ok, dumb question, but why would that narrow down my choice? From what I read on the Powertrax website, my understanding is that the power is transferred to the non-spinning wheel for more drive. Being a non-selectable system was the only thing I guess I am a little ...

Lock-Right Lockers vs ARB Lockers.

Help! I have done a bit of reading on the net, and talked to a couple of different 4wd shops in Chch, one is telling me to stay clear of Lock-Right, and the other is saying that the Lock-Right lockers are well not better, but have less chance of breakdown as they are not air driven, hence dont have ...

Series 1 V8 Disco Cruise Control Fault.

Hi there, After just posting about how great my Disco was, (and how much I loved it)! I still do. but I thought I might ask on here if anyone has any idea about the cruise control on these things. Namely mine doesnt work. I live out Rotherham way, and there are a lot of long boring roads between ...

Re: Disco, mud & water

I have had my series 1 Disco for about 4 months now, and have had great fun and no problems off road with it at all. One of my favourite places to go is Lake Sumner with a mate who has a Diff locked and winched up VX cruiser. I was only running Wrangler AT tyres, and was able to go through some ...

TJM Springs and Shcoks Or Raw and Cobra?

Hi All, I have figured out what I am going to do to the 99 Disco to start off, and that will be a 2" lift. So far I am looking at either a TJM Shocker and Coil package, or Raw shockers with Cobra springs. Any feedback on either brands? what do people think I should go with? I will follow this up ...

Re: New Disco Driver In Christchurch

I will be using this as my daily driver as well, so I am thinking a 2" suspension lift to start with, and probably a 2" body lift further down the track. I don't go anywhere too serious, but I try to get offroad as much as I can, and after being continually towed out when I had my standard old Paj ...

New Disco Driver In Christchurch

Hi all, Just bought a 99 Discovery Series 1 4L V8, I must say so far it is certainly a step up from my 85 Mitsi Pajero 2.8 TD! So far the truck is standard, and I guess I want to get as much bang for my buck as possible, I Paid $4800 for the Disco, and have another 2k to spend. I am guessing a 2 ...
