Its not going well is it!

Tester - trying to upload a pic (a rubbish one as its wedged up against the garage door trying to stop the front lights getting half inched!)

Ill try and get some on - its a bit beyond me!

Well, after a bit of a wait to get some new door lock motors fitted, I finally picked her up yesterday! I have been lurking around the Discovery forum for a few months now trying to pick up advice. Last week, i put a deposit down on one. Shes a black '04 plate TD5 persuit with 116k on the...

Good 'how to' for what can be a very annoying little problem!

Yes im going to park it tight up to the garage door but i need some sort of protectors for when its out and about - the ones i have seen look a bit flimsy though.

Yeah I might just do that boomer. My main worry is keeping the front lights in - there has been a spate of thefts around our way recently:confused:. Anyone any thoughts?

Thats what I was hoping. Would have liked leather to wipe all the kids grime off but nevermind! The cloth interior in this particllar one is in really good nick and looks well.

Thats the plan! Thanks for the positive comments. I know £6k is strong money for what is now quite an old motor but as you chaps probably know, I could have paid a hell of a lot more! It appears to have been well looked after, although appearances can be deceptive! But there are lots of bills...

Its an '04 Persuit. Black. 116k. 2 sets of wheels (one with winters on). Drives really well and does everything i think it should. Rear chassis looked good - i had a good poke around following your advice :). £6k:eek:

Iv put a deposit down! Hopefully collecting Monday so ill get some pics up in the introduce yourself section then.

Thanks Boomer Off to look at another today!

Im now on the hunt myself as i have 'freed up' the funds i needed. I asked the question regarding pointers and buying tips and the rear chassis corrosion issue came up. Could anyone clarify this a bit more for me? I had a brief look around one the other day and had a look underneath the...

Gav I know you werent 'poo pooing' the other lads - and i wasnt trying to either - never would. Sorry to anyone if it came across that way - again, thats the problem with typing and not being able to talk face to face i guess. But lets not get into all that - I am very grateful for the...

Thanks for the positive response Gav and the kind offer of assistance! I have actually seen a nice looking one around the Sheffield area. I once drove one of my mates p.38 autos and it went very well. My personal preference is a manual box but thats just me. I did drive one of his p.38's (he's...

Thanks for both of your replies chaps. Very useful.:) Point taken re. cheaper/more practical cars out there but snow has featured heavily on the moan list this winter which has been a factor. Also the high driving position is one in the plus column as well as 7 seats. I have a couple of...

Hi Guys Im looking at buying a disco 2 TD5 manual within the next few months (all being well) and i was just wondering if there was anything major/costly/obvious i should know to look out for? I want it to be safe as its mainly for my wife to transport the kids around in. I hope i can get as...
