it has an intermittent starting problem rarely happens, I think its the immobiliser problem?

Looks like I need to stop being lazy and put mot on it as I've not had 1 reply or message?? Or maybe I'm way off with the price?? Either way seems strange to not have a single reply on here??

£1500 for a disco with no MOT is way to expensive especially on here we people know whet could be lurking I'm afraid, 12 months ticket and you'll stand half a chance but I'd still stick it on Gumtree as well

Thanks marmaduke I didn't really know where to start price wise? It's so hard to gauge it they go for such varying amounts. I'd accept a grand for it but i expected to get knocked down?

Maybe find similar on e-bay and follow it to see what it sells for - really the best way to gauge current value. Now is the time to sell though................. as we may get some winter weather! good luck

Hi Ant.7, Belgian guy here looking for a new daily! Your Disco seems pretty nice, and I'm not even sure we need the British MOT when we buy a vehicle from the UK, so that might solve a problem for you.

Can you give any details on the boot floor? Any work that should be done on it on a foreseeable future?

Hi the boot floor is structurally sound as I patched it a few years ago but you know what these disco are like. Its never been mentioned in any mot's. If I was keeping it I would do it but only cos I'm a bit ocd with my landy! Shouldn't need anything certainly over the next 12 months.

Hi Ant, your Discovery looks like what I'm looking for, could you just confirm the current status of the mot, please.
Dave

Mot being done in Monday hopefully?

It looks very smart for Discovery 1. I'd say the price is spot on, with the years MoT.

thanks david

hi trekex8 yes its still for sale but there a 3 people interested and meeting the asking price, its in for its mot early next week and providing that goes ok then it will be sold.
