Is it prone to the same liner problems as the Range Rover?

There's a very nice one on eBay fully specced up a treat.

Hi Nige

I assume that you couldn't come to a price agreement on this Disco that you
went to see?

No, he just wanted a bit too much for my tastes, it was a very tidy car though.

It didn't sell at £10,500 & i reckon it's nearer value would be around £9,500 to £10,000.

I'm sure he'll sell it though as it's a really nice car & the wheel really set it off a treat!

4.0 block is pretty much the same as the 3.9. although someone said that it
was mostly Rangies that were suffering, dunno why though.

IIRC Something to do with the ECU mapping in the rangie, causing the
engine to run too hot, resulting in the liners coming loose.
