My Disco 3
Evening folks, thought I would start my own thread up since I'm a keen photographer and the camera bag always comes in the Disco!
My mean machine, Disco 3 SE 05 plate.

Had the D3 in super extend for the first time today, salvaging a Defender 90 after its engine cut out. First time I have properly tested it in some boggy mud, well impressed! What a machine.

Love the pics, especially the one with the defender.
I can just imagine the conversation -
"help my engines died!"
"I'll help, get this strap fixed to your motor"
"Thanks for that, lets get moving"
"Just hang on a minute, I need to take some pictures"

Cheers folks, the Defender had overheated so once we were clear of the track it was another 15 mile
tow to the local Land Rover garage! Discovery 1 Defender 0. I'm still undecided on the chrome yet, my D1 is usually my offroad toy but I couldn't resist today. And there's anyways time

True on the picture, especially when it's one of the defender being dragged out by it's ar se
The chrome is a personal choice. There are a few on here who have the full Barbara Cartland. It's all about what you like but it's been said before and it'll be said again, the best accessory for a Land Rover is mud
Probably the cheapest too Lee

Funnily enough the pressure washer takes the chrome off as well as it does the mud -_-

Cars in the garage for the timing belt change, 10 year service and MOT. This is the timing belt he removed, now that could of bee an expensive affair!
Hi
It was very interesting to see how the T belt was starting to wear. All of my T belts have come off as good as new.
