Dont do it! You know you will regret it......
I have had a 2004 TD5 for 4 weeks and spent well over £1500 and a full 2 weeks hard work to try and get it right! It has had 2 new engines since new (previous owner) and he has spent a fortune trying to keep it on the road. I thought all the work had been done on it - how wrong can you be!!!
Good points... it is a joy to drive.... and its BIG.
Bad points.... too many to list, but.......... think about air suspension probs, ecu loom, cylinder head, EGR, de-cat, rust (yes rust! - mine is going at the top of the windscreen), sunroofs leak, oil pumps fall off, re-map is needed to make it go well, injector seals go, etc... etc...
oh - and you get people on forums bragging that they managed to drive all day without a breakdown - unbelievable! ............ despite all this....
I love the useless piece of scrap and intend to keep it as a hobby... it is the only car I have ever HAD to carry a full toolkit with me in the boot!! Every journey is an adventure! You never know if you will get there!
Only buy one if you love tinkering with cars, have a comprehensive toolkit, and a VERY good sense of humour!
ps previous 4wd was a Toyota - had it 3 years and never had a problem - not one! (lent it to a friend and he wrote it off) hence the Disco 2.
keep smiling...
