Spent most of this weekend in my trusty N plate disco, Friday evening=20 consisted of picking up an Edwardian dresser with a large mirrored=20 top, from near my home in Leatherhead, dropping the back seats was the=20 only way it was going to come close to fitting, even then it was a=20 squeeze! Saturday morning early, the dresser was delivered to my=20 parents in Bromley, and then the real journey started which was a=20 three hour drive up to Nottingham, to visit amongst other places=20 Anchor Surplus, if you need a generator or a trailer for the landrover=20 this place is worth a visit. Then it was up to Derby to fill the back=20 of the Disco up with computer items, again having to drop the seats,=20 and fill the space floor to ceiling! Seeing as the Derby Anchor=20 Surplus was just round the corner we popped in, so if you need a Green=20 Goddess or a Series 1 chassis, or even a complete Series 1 with road=20 tax for this year these people are the people to go to. Off home now,=20 but the trusty disco was 'weaving', perhaps with the new load we=20 thought, although it was not that heavy, the tracking perhaps....having=20 pulled into the services I discovered the nearside front tyre was at=20
40psi whilst the rest were at 30psi, so loosing the spare 10psi cured=20 the problem. Back to Bromley, then onto Leatherhead, and its Saturday=20 evening and the Disco's done a further 450 Miles with no problems,=20 Sunday, back down to Orpington, then Bromley with seats up, taking=20 Children, 2 sets of golf clubs and a 22" TV around to various=20 places....then back home....add another 75 miles to the clock, and my full=20 tank of Diesel on Saturday AM (=A370!!) is in need of filling again. =20 But what a good all-round vehicle, and with no mechanical=20 problems.....now you wouldn't fit that lot into a Volvo !!!- posted
