  2. Had a disco 2 and had all the problems you get with them :- Leaking sunroof, oil in electrics, oil pump bolt failure, leaking suspension pipes etc etc etc etc etc. Looked long and hard at Discovery 3's. I think they are great looking cars the 4's even better and superbly capable off road with better on road manners than its competitors like the landcruiser. BUT. Spend a bit of time reviewing the car on sites like Honest john, parkers etc and you will see a number of failures, faults, recalls in my book to many. Add to that the wear and tear costs of a second hand 4x4 of which the landrover is very heavy on especially its suspension, wishbones and bushes etc and you definitely need to be either very handy with the spanners or have deep pockets even if its an indy doing the work. Main stealer you will need to remortgage. They are great cars but a rollercoaster of emotions owning in my humble view. I have nearly bought a 4 a couple of times but the random engine failures due to throwing crank shells just does not give me the confidence to buy one. I went landcruiser a few years ago and will be going back to one. They are not as nice to be in or ride but I wont have to spend my spare time fixing them.
  3. Casio G-Shock Watch is what you want. Built to last, cheap and can take all the tumbles of BMX's & Skateboards
  4. Otterbox defender case is recommended. Get them on ebay or amazon. Another brand is the MOUS case. very bounce protective
  5. Whats the longevity of hydro dipping. Does it last ?
  6. Got married last year after a long time living in sin so acutely remember the accommodating discussions I had to have. What food they ate didn’t bother me, tree hugger or hunter the venue catered for both, BUT, my view was simple when it came to guests. If I didn’t know you why would I A want you at my wedding and B want to pay for you a meal. You wouldn’t walk up to a stranger in the street and do it so why would my wedding day be any different. Invite denied.
  7. I had an 06 LC120 model for 3 years and really really wish I didn't sell it. Father has a LC150 model around a 12 plate. Both excellent cars. The older one suffered failing injectors due to a copper sealing ring that was sorted by Toyota under recall if you caught it quick enough. Typical signs of the fault was loud knocking on a cold start (Overnight) Carbon deposits on pick up pump lead to oil starvation and you can guess the rest. The 150 model to my knowledge has not had the same issues and is the same engine. Only other thing I had was a binding caliper which was easy enough to sort. Both cars had trouble free motoring. Mine had the adjustable air suspension that worked without issue. Old mans has springs and shockers. The 150 I felt was a slightly firmer ride especially round corners. Neither will set the record for 0-60 but quick enough for the size of bus they are. Inside they are functional and have all you need. Very comfortable especially on the long runs with lot and lots of space. They eat miles, set cruise control and away you go. Late 20's on a run so typical 4x4 mileage for a car that size. Never broke, down, never got the 3 amigo lights, never went in limp mode, very capable off road even on standard tyres and tow like a train. The heated seats in my car weren't the warmest.
  8. Gun now sold to a very reliable Triumphant59 ?
  9. Hi Whats LOP and barrel length please
  10. Thursday & Friday. Never shot there so looking forward to it
  11. Agreed, not a conspiracy. Think squeezing every last £ of profit for corporate shareholders is the issue. Systems not up to doing what they are supposed to and insufficient contingency for such a critical system
  12. I would definitely agree we are on a path to a police state with the additional powers given out. Like most I would have thought on here, I work for a living, pay my taxes, have no criminal record but I cannot be trusted to carry a small folding knife on me because some delinquent decides he wants to take someone else's trainers. Rules put in place by elected officials who themselves cannot generally claim the morale highground. Stop and search is a sticky plaster at best over an amputated limb. Its supposed to be a deterrent for the youth of today and while it does not stop the problem it has proven to have some success and some is better than none. We need to stop blaming the police for the absolute lack of respect, morals and social cohesion that is becoming a bigger and bigger problem. You want to know why kids behave like they do , the guy in this video lays it out on a plate.
  13. That is the argument that comes out from the neighbour hoods where stop and search takes place all the time. Reality is stop and search is used in these areas because of the high crime rates, because people do look shifty, because people are up to no good, granted not everyone and its not a colour issue.
  14. Bit of a tough shoot for a friend who is a complete novice. looking for something softer
  15. Any local shoots in the selby area friday sat or sunday this weekend coming ?
  16. I have the electronic 10 gun cabinet. When I first purchased it and luckily just before fitting it to the wall I was testing it and one of the bolts became detached from the rod. I landed up turning the safe upside down and bouncing it half a dozen times to get the locking bolt to drop out of the hole. Once I got it opened and stripped the cover off I noticed one of the nuts had come off so all nuts replaced by nylon locking nuts and rods, hinged areas etc greased. No issues since in 4 years.
