How about a list of what's wrong with the Country, first?
humour me on this one.
i've got a series 1 disco and recently bought a pretty modded county.
i'm going through the county and finding more and more wrong with it and am thinking it's never going to end which is starting to get to me.
i've 2 options either keep on going and persevere with the county and finish it off though god know's where it's going to end
or (and this is where i'd like most advice)
find out what is interchangable between the county and disco and make the disco into 1 mean disco and then wreck and sell off what's left of the county together with what's not needed off the disco
some of the mod's on the county include:
Rear diff is a Detroit locker with standard axles. Front is an ARB air locker 24 spline diff with Mac Namara axles. Rear springs are Kings +2" with spacers, front are H.Duty rangie rears with spacers. belly plate, sliders & rear quarter sliders. upgraded steering arms,engine mounts etc. from rovacraft, strengthened rear trailing arms along with 35" super swampers and beadlock's

I'm hearin' ya. Heh, invested in a County not so long ago ourselves...spent on repairs more than we've paid for it thus far! Kinda wondering when to stop, but then again, there'll come a time when everything's new and I can stop worrying!
what's wrong with county?
gearbox ($1700 for a rebuild)
transfer case ( almost done)
clutch (sorted now)
rear cross member rotten ( not looked into cost yet)
need's new roof or some major work.
needs new dash and pretty much most of interior
needs a respray
engine could do with a rebuild though i have a spare 3.9v8 just need a loom and ecu to complete it
this is most of what's been found so far obviously i new of most but it's going to cost a lot of time and $$ to get it to how i'd want it.
same here relay though i've spent a fortune on the disco as well and it's got to stop somewhere before she leaves me!
Hi Taff,
I was going to ask if you bought the County I looked at but it seems you've bought another one.

flogging the disco isn't an option at the moment as we both want to keep it. i know how much parts are for landy's so i was thinking if i part it out then i should recoup most of the money i've already outlayed.
perhap's i've just had a **** week and it'll all seem better come monday, but either way by monday i need to have my mind made up or i'm just going to be throwing away more cash.
I can guess how you must be feeling....but with a County or Defender you have a choice - buy what you did with the bits already on, and clean it up, or buy one in better condition like I did, and spend a **** load adding the bits. Swings and roundabouts really....
But, hey, it's a Landy...you knew what you were getting into. Thought you sounded well ****ed off the other night.
(Oh, or be really lucky and spend loads on a newer one already fully modded.....had Tombraider's been up for sale before I bought my 110, I'd have gone that option without a second thought. )
