offroading d3 disco

[muppetlab]

Given the current economic climate i have managed to get a bargain disco 3 at td5 money :shock:
Are there any fellow mud clubbers who are off roading these??
Am looking to upgrade it in the near future with some decent mud tyres and am considering some guards for underbelly protection and possibly a winch if the budget will stretch. Anyone have experience of any of these product, recomendations or selling any of the above. Any info would be great.

It's amazing what is out there at the moment, Likewise I picked up a D3 last week for a really good price  :thumbup: Not off roading it but I'm planning on using it for a few laning trips...  :D

www.disco3.co.uk is well worth a look.

could I be really rude and ask how much they have come down to in price please?

What kind of mpg are you getting out of them too?

[Paul]

Have a look on auto trader website mate it will give you a good idea of what's available at what price..

Not gave mine a good run out yet but the computer is saying 27mpg on the school run  :lol:

Hi

Great car. I got between 25 and 30 from mine depending on driving conditions and whether it is auto or manual and whether you chip it.

As mentioned above, www.disco3.co.uk is a very good site, I found it really useful and you will find all the info you need on there for tyres and off road kit.

Enjoy!

i have driven the D3 off road, and its quite unbeleivable what it can do, but there for me lies the problem

the cars doing all the work for you, even on road tyres i had as much grip if not more as my D1 on mud tyres

but you feel so far removed from the point of contact, ie, tyre on mud, i got no pleasure from driving it

on road however its very quite, very smooth and very quick, compared the D1

so in my opinion a tricked up D1 is a lot more fun off road, but the D3 wins hands down on the tarmac

I have driven a d3 on road and I must say they were nippy especially pulling away at junctions.

I also did a caravan reversing competition with one and found it good to manouver with.

Pffffftttt (sprays tea across keyboard)

If that's not a good deal I don't know what is.

I know i am pretty happy :D, just a case of right place right time. Current economic climate does help though there were plenty available at sub ten grand when i was looking. Dont know how stealers intend to shift stock at 14k+???
