    Thumbs up I must be mad......

    Can someone please explain......after almost a year of trouble with my Landrover discovery, this morning I finally let her go to a better home, to be loved back to life or parted. I felt a bit of a mixed reaction, I genuinely liked the old girl, but seeing her on the back of the tow truck was a bit of a relief too.

    So now my mind is set, im going to buy a nice easy, cheap ford falcon ute on gas...simple you might think....

    I lasted 4 hours.......4 friggin hours......sigh

    Welcome my new money pit.....

    Good move!

    Now you won't have to worry about the window winders or electric window failing. You won't have to be careful not to break the cup holders or the electric seat warmers being too hot or too cold. You won't have to get the air con re-gassed. No central locking problems.

    In fact there are probably dozens or maybe hundreds of things that go wrong on Discos that will never fail on a Series because they aren't fitted.

    1973 Series III LWB 1983 - 2006
    1998 300 Tdi Defender Trayback 2006 - often fitted with a Trayon slide-on camper.

    Great move!

    It would have taken you months and months to find a falcon with character

    Something about this marque that gets in your blood.

    Far better choice than a Falcon. It doesn't get more simple than a series. And as per previous posts they are so much more fun and have heaps of character.

    Someone have to come with a vaccine against Landrovitis !
    I sold my Defe and got a beautiful Peugeot 406 coupé now, I am going to put it on the market in the next 2 weeks and look for Range Rover (1988-1992) or a Disco Tdi300.
