    Just a new bloke saying hi

    Hello all. I'm new to this and Landys and 4wd. I just not long bought mine its a 97 V8i manual which I just convert to gas. So far I have been on Stockton beach with her but I'm not real experienced. I tried her out in the bush too but I'm a bit scared to go through bog holes as I don't have any recovery equipment yet. Anyway cheers all.

    Gday Steve,

    Pretty new around here myself too, but they are a friendly bunch and this is the best Landrover forum there is.

    Nice looking Disco, hope you enjoy it!

    Welcome, stevejo43. You'll be amazed at whan can be achieved in these vehicles - when you see so many on the highways you might think they're just like other cars

    Join in a trip and discover! And don't be afraid to speak up on the forum, either

    Mate, welcome aboard and a tip, get some recovery gear otherwise you'll end up like I did as a newbie





    Inexperience and no recovery gear, boy did I learn my lesson, at the time the beast was only 3 wks old. Have come far in leaps and bounds now though , the return trip



    Regards

    Stevo

    Hi there. Presume you've got a Disco (1997 + V8 + Manual can't be anything else can it?).

    They are a great vehicle off road. Get a small amount of recovery gear & go out with another vehicle. Then you can do stupid things and still get back home again.

    Welcome to the forum

    Thanks

    Hi guys, thanks for the warm welcome. Will surely be getting some gear for the disco soon and looking forward to getting out there and discover some new places I havent yet seen. I have a winch bar on front so will be looking into that soon and a gps. oh and for the meantime a snatch rope and small shovel. hehehe
