Personally- things like brakes I’d be keeping. It’s a proper kit and not a home made contraption. No harm in venturing off OEM with stuff like that, they won’t hurt values of keeping it original.

Lovely D3 - I’m on the Disco forum also. They’re fantastic trucks, I wish I’d bought mine years ago.

Do you have an estimated time of its return? @SharkyUK

Love a long term project thread. I wouldn’t worry about the belts too much - I know of a few cars years over due belts and one I know of still on it’s original belt...! On a 53 plate..! Lol. just get them done when you get back and I’m sure you’ll be perfectly fine.

I wouldn’t even want those seats... Jesus

I’m exactly like this, buy something with my heart, throw £££ at it - get it running right and then sell it now it’s running right 😂 but still loose ££££

Definitely keep it - those numbers on the clock mean nothing. You could buy a lower mileage one, but that never means it’s in better condition. Different cars, but I’ve recently bought a Discovery 3 with 188,000 miles (now on 193,000) because it drove nicer than the one I test drove earlier...

They used to be a pig to get hold of.

I have about 1,000 cup spoiler fitting kits sat in a cupboard somewhere in my house lol

assuming you have an EDC 200 Clio? For it to have an intercooler?

That’s lovely! Would you mind sharing the lease figures? These sound interesting!

The Clio will be quickly forgotten 😂

No. AD08’s are just a mild semi slick. Even on a track compound R888 you still don’t need a baffled sump.

I’ve recently sold mine to a mate, I wish I’d kept the car - it was bomb proof for me and it still is with him. I think it’s on about 140,000 now and no signs of giving up yet.

Semi slick strengthened side walls - less roll.
