I have got to wait till Saturday to get it, and I need it now. My Discovery is eating new batteries for breakfast. It just will not turn over enough first think IE 6am will have to fork out on a heavy duty diesel battery. Balls. Well I would normally take the wifes Alfa Romeo GTV but that has frozen over during the day at her work place carpark ( bearing in mind we are in sunny Devon) and she could not close the door the locks had just seized up. So I had to cycle to work, oh what joy, with one light, one glove and semi flat tires to get some grip on the frosty roads.


I am now at work sweating really hot lol

Roll on Saturday

OK so it ain't no Disco, but my CRV just does what it says on the tin! Mind you, waiting to tax it all last week was, well, taxing!

Like waiting for Christmas when you're nine.

Yes I need a bit more poke in my battery. Have you checked out Lancaster insurance on your disco. They done mine on a limited mileage police 5k fully comp with out using your no clams for £166

you want one of our Reach truck batteries, guaranteed to give enough power but they weigh 900kg (or 1300kg on the High level trucks)

I want mine back too, sick of freezing my ass of in this corsa, first car in years I've had to scrape the ice off the inside, and the heater is like have a dormouse fart at you!

And they let kids drive these things!
