Sump Guard
I'm looking for a sump guard for my disco 3, i want it to look smart, but at the same time need it to be functional, as i go across fields when i'm shooting.
Any suggestions
Cheers Martin

What’s wrong with the factory fit guard?
I’ve done auto tests with the local land river club in my disco 3 with the standard guard. Basically a short race. After 20 cars go on the track it’s quite rutted. No issues or signs of the standard guard not working

Take a look at least at Prospeed, Land Rover Passion, Bearmach, front runner... some of them are stainless steel, some aluminum. All leave the tow point free.

I think at least three things could be improved on:
1. The default plate doesn’t protect from the front at all
2. The front is “protected” by a piece of plastic
3. The piece of plastic blocks the towing point
Whether any of these matter is another discussion.

Yes, I've got a suggestion, if it's defenceless wildlife ...... stop shooting it (or give them a fair chance and arm them with guns).

You’ve lost me one that one mate? Left Kotka about a year ago... would love to head back though, beautiful country! perfect D3 country
Maybe it’s in reference to Ronp’s comment about shooting stuff? In which case Martin59 would love it, Ronp would hate it... each to their own, no need for harsh comments... I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Anyone can comment as they wish to any post on an open forum, but if that post is deemed unsuitable it will be deleted by moderators.
I have my morals & opinions, you obviously have your own .....sleep well.
Btw, Uncle Ray's guards are the best you can get. 🏴
