@ Dave (and others): so much better, that V8? No problems with the engine? I would use him to travel, is a V8 ok for it?

Disco's are a lot better inside a bit more modern and up to date.

The only feature of a discos interior I would like is the 2 rear side seats, a friend remove his spilt fold rear seats in his disco to make way for a big LPG tank and extra load area whalst still having seating for 4 people. The down side is you would also need a disco roof line unless your passengers are v.v.v.very small.

More modern and up to date style inside, but no armrest and so I'm told the dash starts to peal at the edges on older discos (I supose they needed a sudstitute for a headlining that sags). Needless to say for me a RRC has more charm.

Mines still a work in progress

Thats is now and old picture, as of now I have a little more due to changing the bushes in the front back to metalastic and fitting the longer front dampers. I didn't have the camera to hand today but the new RTI is approximately 819 :D and there is still more left to extrat.

Effectively its Gwyn Lewis challange kit, however only the rear damper mounts are actually made by Gwyn Lewis. The dampers are supplied by Llama4x4 and are 11" travel rough country dampers and the front damper mounts are home made from good metal that would other wise be scrap.

Other changes include the one piece rubber metalastic bushes normally fitted to RRC with an Anti Roll Bar. The bodge SLU is removed from the rear. The brake lines are +4 and rear one is slightly repositioned due to body lift. Springs are LR green/pink front and red/white rear.

The lower SLU mount is binding of the diff casing in the above picture and will need prunning. The rear bushes are binding quite badly so cranked trailing arms are on the shopping list to get the most out of the rear. As for the front, I suspect that will get a hidged radius arm, but that is some time off.

In terms of finacial cost, to date its cost approximately Â£330 in parts.

RR V Disco

Different horses for different courses!
You want a family vehicle full of practicality with good mileage then get the Disco.
If you want the best looking Land Rover ever built with all the refinements and yet so capable off road, then get the Rangie.
Both can rust quite spectacularly too.

Post by: simdeb on June 30, 2007, 23:12:39: we have had a l reg disco but still went back to a j reg VM rangie they are loads more comfy for both driver and passengers (so our kids tell us) and the kids don't mind facing backwards but hated facing sidewrds in the disco!!!

Post by: Range Rover Blues on July 02, 2007, 13:30:15: My spare wheel carrier is Tim :lol:

Of course I'm biased towards the RRC, but given that the Disco is basically a RR anyway, the choice is down to what you want to do with it when it's not in the mud. For a family car the Disco has advantages, but the RRC has the refinement as is a bit less top-heavy too.

Pictures in my galery if you can get in http://members.mud-club.com/profiles/Range%20Rover%20Blues/gallery/LSE/0/7709b8895c6c6e3a7ef35f870f361cf0.JPG/, this PC lost all my pictures and I havn't retreived them from backup yet.

He has put endless engines in and cant make his mind up or kils it off road through deep water. oops. He is about to put a 2.4vm engine the last time I spoke to him. Probably changed his mind since then!!
