There was a farmer in LRO magazine years ago converted a TDi Discovery in to a truck cab pick up with a 5th wheel in the bed to tow his cattle trailer. Again it looked really good.

As a matter of interest Jon , is there any timing belt (or any belt ) that needs to be changed on a Td5 ?

Hi, something to keep in mind is it that all chissis modifications " lengthening the wheel base" need to be IVA inspected and that your gross weight will still be 2880 Kg.

I looked into making a td5 disco 130 high capacity pick up. The only real way would be to get a Defender 130 and put the disco body on it. Keeping the Defender reg and the 3500kg gross weight.
