Hi folks,
My name is Jamie Read, an English man in Scotland(hmmm, I feel a song coming on!), I`m the chairman of Tayside 4x4 Response, hopefully buying a V reg 2.2 Dti frontera tomorrow after almost exclusively owning land rovers for the past few years, currently driving a Disco 2.
Mark of mg-autos pointed me to the forum after I enquired about his 3"+ springs listed on Ebay.
Hopefully, this time tomorrow I`ll have a new (older) motor on the driveway!

Thats what I`m hoping Mick! The D2 is very capable and comfortable, but the problems I`ve had with it have all been pretty expensive.
Selector switch on the autobox- £400 ish
Suspension bag replacements- £400 ish again
New power steering box/pump/pipework +couple of minor bits- £800 ish
Thats all within 6 months!

Thanks Jason!
Nice truck!!
The mods I would probably go for would be-
+3" Springs and shocks
Wind up the front (+shocks?)
AT`s
Lightbar + spotlights
Amateur radio
CB
Underbody protection?
And, not sure if it`s do-able, fit a seat into the rear loadspace??

Is there a standard seat kit, or is it down to preference/whats available?
