disco buying advice

<< < (3/3)

Evilgoat:
Look on it the same way as we have with Bunnie, I'm guessing you arent that old or experirenced.

The Vit is easier to fix, sorry guys, but it is. While you get the knowledge under your belt you ARE going to break bits and the Disco is a completely different animal, its heavier, handles differently (Hello bump-steer) and from experience getting used to it, drives like a barge compared to the Vit.

If you damage or break a Disco its going to be cheaper but its possibly going to break more often as you abuse it more and more. There are also some funny insurance quirks too if you are younger, then again if your vit is a soft-top you'll know about that sort of thing.

We decided to keep the vit as a 'lerner' car for Bunnie to get used to offroading. After all when a vit decides to go sideways/tip up/get high-centered 3 strong blokes can deal with it without needign any ropes etc. When a Disco gets stuck it tends to be really stuck.

I'd say hang fire, get used to offroading, do a few greenlanes and P&P sites. As a guess youre finding the difficulty involved in serious modding a bit trying.

wrecker:
to put you in the frame a bit,

i am young,21 and yes not long been off roading,about a year and half,

and yep it was a soft top,know hard top,

i pay just under 2k on insurance and getting a disco it would be the same,

i do have loads of spear parts for the zook,and not only that but am getting real good at fixing it now :lol:  :lol:

just thinking of more room,more power,think i might stay with it :oops:  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:
