OFFICIAL Land Rover thread.

These guys are super hard to find in my area, but I'm looking at an 88 classic that runs and drives, fuel delivery issue though. The body is rusty, but not as bad as most 25 year old vehicles in our salt air. Interior is probably a 4. Leaks from all seals. It would be a new learning experience for me to work on and I need a truck since I sold my Wrangler. $750...anyone with more expertise than I want to chime in on pros and cons?

Brought down from Canada. His dad picked it up in New York registered as a Freelander.

I know it's a million miles from you, but the one guy I know who knows what he's talking about is Gord'n at Lamorna Garage in Seattle. 206-361-7002 www.lamornagarage.com/index.html

He has ancient Series trucks, and everything up to LR4s coming into his shop. His own RRC is a converted diesel, which is a service he can provide. Tell him Mike & Cy sent you.

Please explain.

My girl wants one of these (d90/110) pretty bad although also would like a disco.

As mentioned earlier, shares same powertrain, drivetrain, and suspension as a disco. Difference is a disco is 3k and a defender is 30k

Now if I had 30k to blow on an offroad toy you bet your ass it's going to be a G wagen. Defender is badass but not worth the premium.

Defender to disco is what E30 M3 is to a 318is so to speak.

Who wants to see what a $500 Disco 2 looks like?









My M52 RRC towing home Inufaye's $500 D2. It's in better condition than his D1!

Also, notice, D2 is around 4600lbs, dolley around 200, and my RRC around 4600lbs. My little M52 was pulling over 10,000lbs. Probably the only M52 to ever do so.

Thanks for the info! I'll give him a call tomorrow and see what he thinks. Maybe shoot over some pics.

Here is Bill Burke's no BS D90. He's a well-regarded off-road skills instructor.

It looks pretty good, looks like all maintenance is done.

Excited to throw a battery on this bitch and see if it will start.
