.....passed the MOT this morning (first try) and without any advisories!.....not bad for a `94/`95 model year Landy Disco. ;)
The tester said he gets heartily-sick of cars sent to him for test where the owner hasn`t bothered to check ANYTHING before the appointment.....he said it was nice to see a car that had been properly sorted and prepared; I am delighted! [smiley=engel017.gif]
The MOT chap called it the "chip-fat chariot" and I must admit, there is a quite appetising aroma from burning the DERV/V.O mix. ::)
Now, it`s time to prepare the Miggy for next week`s test appointment. :y

Good work Debs :y
Now is it a landrover? Hard to tell with the masked out characters ;D
-
Well done Debs, it looks nice and clean as well ;)

Looks like a LANIROVER to me.. ;D
Which reminds me of the "OVERFINCH" I see every day - I thought it was some silly owner rearranging letters (like people used to do with old Ford Escorts) .. but no.. it's a company selling even more hideously expensive versions of chavved up Range Rovers ::)
Anyway.. this is definitely a LaniRover ;)

;) I seem to recall Clarkson tested one of those on Top Gear a year or two ago......wasn`t it TWICE the cost of a normal Rangie? :o

I guessed that since there were no prices on their website, they worked on the "If you have to ask, you can't afford it" principle.. ;D
-
surely it's a Llan Rover?
-
MOT time must be one of the most worrying things on the planet sometimes. good luck for the mig :y

Based not far from me. Occasionally I see them "testing" on the by-pass whereby I normally give them a run for their money. ;D

Didn't he race and beat a Focus of some sort while towing a trailer with another Focus on the trailer?

Yum, a Disco. Might have me one of those soon if I can clear the driveway a bit.

Do you manage to keep it leak free? brother in law had one and had a horrendous time keeping the drive train from leaking oil over half of cornwall ,got so sick in the end he got rid of it!
-
Yes, very welcome news indeed Deb. 8-) :y :y
-
I guessed that since there were no prices on their website, they worked on the "If you have to ask, you can't afford it" principle.. ;D
Yes about double the price arron, mate of mine bought one a couple of months back and i really don't like it, the front looks like the new disco's and its even less off roadable than the standard one due to being "slammed and having its windows tinted" ;D ;D ;D

The Landy owner`s rule of thumb: "If it`s not leaking; it`s because it`s empty!" ;D

Good news Debs & hope the collie wagon does as well next week. Discos are ok in thier own right, better off road than many so called 4x4's & you get a lot of bang for your buck pricewise but they are not, never will be & should never be called Landies despite sporting the green oval badge any more than the first Metros were badged "Mini metro". Of course they were'nt a Mini & neither is a Disco a Landy..
That said you could pitch up in a Trabant or a hovercraft, given the strange vehicles i throw my hard earned at who am i to judge? :D ;D 8-) :-*

Well done with the very nice looking Landy Debs, hope it's a Double with the Miggy shortly too :y

:P I know, I know!......but I`m 50 now and a little bit of comfort and warmth in the Winter is needed: Lazarus, my Series III was too cold, too heavy and way-too rusty! ;D

I wonder if flares will ever come back! ::)

There's a V8 3.9 one that's LPG converted (twin tanks underneath) down at the stables I go too, sounded fantastic when it started up, well the exhaust note did!
Reminded me of my younger days smoking (literally car + driver!) around in an SD1.
