... and I am looking for a good home for her. I am sort of trying to find out what she is worth.
I would be happy for her to take 6 months to sell as I am fussy about where she goes. I'd prefer her to stay as she is and not become a butchered offroader. She is a daily driver at the moment, I am very happy with her but with the 90 about to be finished and having a car as well now I have decided to make a decision with my brain - ideally someone would come along who wants to restore her a bit and have a very tidy Disco.
She is an as stock 1997 300tdi, 146000miles, Metallic Rioja, owned since 1999, had a major engine rebuild by landrover about 2004 as the oil light came on, and in typical LR fashion they just took things to pieces, turned out to be a stuck switch! But after all that she doesn't actually drip a drop of oil! Regular oil services, if she has ever needed anything she has got it mechanically. No backlash in the transmission. Been across the odd field only.
About 2 years ago she was off the road for 2 years for all the work to be done to her, in that time she had both sills replaced, boot floor, OS inner wing and arch replaced, rear body cross member welded up, whole floor pan primed and painted, new full exhaust, rear seatbelt mounts etc.
Recently the chassis had a bit of welding done along the NS rear, OEM water pump (p gasket done too), new main coolant hose, new Lemforder TRE's, new OE drivers side door lock fitted, passenger side one works almost all the time so it's good. She looks pretty tidy, has a bit of a rust hole in the front bumper, drivers seat is worn at the usual spot, and the cushion support needs fixing as its dropped a bit, but the interior is about spot on for a 16 year old car with nothing broken or missing and the seats and carpets only have minor marks.
All the electrics work as they should, 2 keys and fobs (one brand new about 18 months ago). Good tyres all round on reasonable alloys, they do leak a little round the rims but a blast of air every month helps that out. 11 months tax, MOT till mid December.
I'll get some photos up soon.
