How many liters per 100km does your Disco consume on average?
@TheNorthernExplorer5 күн бұрын
I’ll be honest It’s between 7 and 9 litres per 100km though I don’t check it very regularly. For me it’s more smiles per gallon than miles 😀

Do you plan on painting the roof/bonnet black or using the "tintable" Raptor paint? I've seen a few examples of vehicles painted using the tintable Raptor and the results were always a bit... strange. Worst one was a Zambezi Silver Disco' and, although the owner seemed happy with the result, the paint was just a sort of dark battleship-grey. I've also seen a green Defender painted with Raptor and it just looked like it'd been painted NATO OD. Personally, given that there's probably no chance of getting anything like a colour-match, I'd probably use black Raptor and then it'll at least look like it was intentional, rather than just looking like I screwed up the colour.

My last Defender sometimes made a noise like it was "dragging a chain behind it". It wasn't subtle either. It sounded like there was a 10ft length of anchor chain dragging along behind it. Spoke to several LR specialists and nobody had ever heard of the issue. Took a couple of them for a drive and they were baffled by it. Even went as far as having somebody else drive it while I hung out of the back and tried to see underneath. Hard to believe that something so distinct was something nobody had encountered before. Never did find out what it was because somebody kept pestering me to sell it and eventually I gave in and flogged it.
