Thread: Fellow Disco Driver needs encoragement

Mate don't get it into your head that Toymotas don't have maintenance issues too!

I've just got through a pretty expensive run on my D2 but hey...its cost me bugger all for 200,000k's

Just work through the items one at a time.... use the forum to find info that'll save you heaps...and last but not least..do you have a good mechanic who really understands the vehicle? If not, PM me.

I can promise you that any of the Jap trucks will not do the good stuff anywhere near as comfortably as your Disco does... I've had a few of them.

Yeh you could go that way but wouldn't it be nice to have two Land Rover? What about buying a Defender

I have a set of drawers in mine, with a cargo barrier with a top shelf.
I also work out of mine, need to work and store things in a tidy manner with every thing having its place. I had a Mitsubishi l300 van (lots of room) as a work bus years ago, went from that to a rangie, at this point I started to work out what I really needed to have and from there to the disco. As the vehicle room has shrunk it has made me accutely aware of the excess I used to carry. My rules are plan ahead, be neat and tidy, be minimallistic.
cheers

Depending on what you do for a living a late 90,s early 2000 2.8 turbo diesel Rodeo would have to be one of the most reliable workhorses around.

We have a D2 as our family car and a modified RRC as the play car. I also work for myself and use a Ssangyong ute with an alloy tray. 5cyl Merc diesel is ultra reliable and cheap to run.

Just my thoughts.

Thanks for the replies fella's.
I'm a service tech maintaining commercial doors of all shapes, sizes and designs. I have a roof rack, cargo drawer, cargo barrier and top shelf.
At the moment i carry 3 ladders, 1x large extension, 1x 7 foot step ladder and 1 x 3 foot step ladder, welding machine, cordless drill, 240V drill, grinder, hand tools, socket set, hole saw set, 2 x extension leads, stack of 5 whiches hats, large partition tray with electrical fittings, similar tray with screws, rivets etc, 2 large plastic tubs with electrical cable in one and door/automation spares in the other. Also carry various parts for planned jobs as well as some stock to cover common break down situations.
I have to pack smarter i think!!

Am considering building myself an offroad capable work trailer to cater for work and camping trips.

i think i will be going the trailer route aswell
