Hi Peasey, I think the answer to your question about coils / leaf springs is a no unless you swap the chassis.

As edy said series parts v. cheap as for the rest depends on your budget and what you want to do with your new toy, for less than the price of a good late s3 you could get a higher mileage Disco to mod. :D

Anyway there all big mechano kits, just that newer ones have more electrical bits & bobs to go wrong :)

peasey:
yeah i must admit i did think about that but i just wanted a change and always wanted a more agricultural landy as the disco i have is far to refined more for the mrs sake really!! my philosophy is the less you have the less you can break  :D  :D and besides that no electic windows, power steering ,efective heater means no mrs  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: just me, my boys and mud ah pure bliss :lol:  :lol:

harryhedgehog:
well if you want agricultural, its definately a Series vehicle then

--- Quote from: "edy" ---also i think it is possible to get extended shackeles for them (dont count on that one),

, its just a bit more of a challange in a series (no diff lock ect...)


--- End quote ---


Yep you can get longer shackles for a SWB, the LWB Mil ones are longer and can be fitted, you will know them because they hacve a bolt running through the centre (ie 3 bolts not 2)

A series does have a locked centre diff as per a defender, the only difference is that on a defender you can disengage it and you still have 4WD whereas in a series you use 2WD to eliminate issues of windup, hence the warning in the cab about running a series in 4WD on the road.

Quite agree re driver skill, Ive seen many a series leave a defender courtesy of better tyres and a more experienced driver....

Cheers Steve

Series landies rule. Wish I had kept my old one. They are useless at towing heavy trailers and caravans though.

I would advise on a petrol any day just for your ear drum sake!!!
