    UK 'Trip' - as best we can!!

    Now then, I'm planning a trip for a few days before March, route - though not recce'd - goes from Whitby to Lakes and Lakes to Holy Island. I don't really know anyone who just enjoys the idea of 'overlanding' so thought i'd post on here to see if anyone fancies it - dates are flexible! All...

    Vehicle lift kits

    @Disco2Guy Thanks for the advice - how does your D2 handle with a lift kit (going by your profile name i'm assuming you're a D2 owner and it's lifted)?

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Just seen you in Plymouth. So i'm guessing it's a TD5, the ECU is under the drivers seat, you will benefit from buying a loom extender and moving the ecu to a higher position (mine was on bulkhead behind drivers seat) this stops the oil issue - oil travels up the loom and eventually cooks the...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    is the tank under the drivers seat - it is in the UK - battery under passenger (left) seat on the rear of the bulkhead behind the front seats? next to battery - size dependent not sure on the size of it but would it fit under the body forward of the rear wheels?? Hope it helps

    What keeps you from overlanding more?

    Me!! I seem to always put things in front of actually getting out - work - family - friends, but i'm sat there pee'd off with myself that i've STILL not recce'd the route we made! It'll only be a 2 day trip max, and it's not like the Land Rover isn't ready for getting out....... One day

    Cheers guys. The fund raising is taking some building up to. We're looking to see how fee-sable it is to drive to Aus in 8 weeks - like a good challenge - once we've figured that out we'll be able to start the promotion of the event. Hope to catch up with you all at some point

    Thanks for the reply, would you replace the rear air sus for peace of mind on long trips, or because it's a potentilly weak area with the bags venerability? Many thanks

    Vehicle lift kits

    evening So a question Is a 1 or 2" lift kit worth fitting to a discovery 2?? Long term plan is to drive it to Aus, but is a lift kit a benefit to have?? The diffs will be the same height, it has rear air ride and lifts itself 2" if needed, but only at the rear, so if the diffs are still going...

    Evening Hope all well, The family and I have had a struggle for the last 6yrs, since our eldest daughter passed. For years I've had this 'churning' I've tried to settle, I have been through so many scenarios and vehicles but I've never been satisfied, I'd work to get the bike, car or Land Rover...
