I sussed it
« on: November 18, 2005, 07:02:07 »
After working on the disco over the weekend i've frankly had a revelation. I never knew disco's where so easy to work on.I mean theres me smashing knuckle's and such on serie's, rangies, and finally a 110 and thinking all landies were like that! And no one told me :roll: Now i know why all disco drivers have such a smug look  :wink: But seriously im freaked out its like a giant METRO to work on.Thats it im hooked from now on its disco's for me and her ladyship!!

Yes, it's a big old truck innit ! First motor I've had where there's actually a hint that someone might have thought about future maintenance when they designed it :)

Breath of fresh air for me after the old mini and midget - lol

Oh no they're torturing me  :lol:  :lol:

I just hated working on Mini's and Metro's  :(mad):  No room, backache and sore knees. Give me a truck any day. Looking back, I was never a fan of Land Rovers after my mate used to freeze us to death in his Series motor. Now I'd have a LR for each day of the week if I had room to keep them  :wink:

My sister had one as her first car and we really liked it.  It was 3 years old and had been garaged from new, low miles etc.  Drove like a dodgem too :D

You wait til you have to do a gearbox... or even a rear damper...

Too much bloomin' bodywork on a Disco for my knuckles !

and you can't even take the floors out...  whatever next  :shock:

I had a MG Turbo as well, till it roted away. The engine went in to my Mini pick up.
