good looking landy

finally fitted bumper end caps on my discovery, they have been missing for about 8 months, one of the first things ripped off 1st 4wd trip along with the plastic spoiler that's mounted to the bottom of the front bumper, bit of a daft idea to have a chin spoiler on a 4wd who knows what landrover ...

access to the Selwyn near coe's ford is pretty restricted chains, wire rope and gates making it hard to get near the river. A month or so ago I had my 4wd friend call me late on a Sunday arvo said he was stuck in the Selwyn up near Hororata in need of a tow, when I found him his safari was up to its ...

This is encouraging, I need new tyres for my discovery, as its my daily driver I've been contemplating running muds all the time I'm doing 500k's a week, can't afford two sets of wheels and tyres and the hassle of changing wheels to go off road doesn't appeal. Are any of you running these tyres all ...

Hi Flatsix I too have a series 1 disco, had it 8months now its my daily driver clocking 500k's a week commuting to work v8 an all. I ripped the plastic spoiler and bumper end caps off first time I went for a play in the waimak, damn shingle bank. Used mine to rescue my friends Safari when he got it ...

Thanks for the input, had lowered tyre pressure to 24psi wasn't keen to go lower without tubes. And I will look into tyre options as i will need new tyres for next wof in Jan 2014, too poor to replace before then.

Sunday august 25th went on high country farm track with a couple of friends, track located just north of the Hurunui river in Canterbury it meanders over the hills and drops into cheviot, gave myself a fright when the disco decided to go sideways down hill on a muddy section of track wasn't much fun ...

Hi Rhys, I have 97 v8 disco auto trans 7 seater, done 163,000ks runs well daily driver clocking 500ks a week I've had it off road 3 times mild off roading as its my only vehicle, pm me if you are still looking and might be interested I'm in southbridge bout 50k's from chch

I recently had work done on my Land rover discovery done by Canterbury land rover in Christchurch, diagnose and replace faulty abs sensor, they quoted $304 the actual bill was $244, I was happy with that, the drivers door catch was a bit sticky had to be forceful to open door, they advised me that ...

very nice old truck, this would be well liked by the oldschool.co.nz crowd.

took my 97 land rover discovery out today 1st time off road with it since purchase a week ago, she went well and managed to go anywhere my friends land cruiser went, we had a play in the waimak river, I'm happy with how she went

sorry aroma i used the calais as a trade -in

I joined ORE in 2011, and have been trolling the forums for inspiration for buying a 4wd, had always liked the idea of a land rover discovery, so today I bought a 1997 v8 disco , Having daily driven a holden calais 5.0 v8 for the last 6 months I figure the fuel bill shouldn't be too different ...

Thanks guys for your replies and input, to "overkill", I guess its typical of a mechanic to advise steering clear of disco's but I know people still buy them regardless I know any vehicle can be a source of drama and issues, I might be wise to keep my trusty nissan primera car to get me to work when ...

I knew someone would say that! or a Nissan Safari eh?

Hello to you all, I am a former 4wder looking to make a comeback, while trolling the net I came across this web site and stopped for a browse as a guest and have recently joined so I can learn a bit before I buy another fourby, I've had a yearning for a v8 disco but keep hearing and reading bad ...
