Hi, totally new here so er hello!

Just finished university now and after a new car, been through the smaller ones and after driving a few I quite fancy a Discovery. Not after one of the new ones, probably a D1 or D2. I would want it for commuting to work in the week, few trips around the country fishing, towing a boat and shooting and also maybe some off roading. Housemate at uni had a kitted Defender, says I'm mad to be looking for a Discovery but they seem the best value for money. I've been taught a few things what to watch out for in terms of rust, leaky sunroofs and someone told me to stay away from the 200 Tdi engines?

Budget is around £2000-3000, kind of would like an automatic as I'm lazy. Am I mad like my friend says or is this going to be something that I will love and cherish?

YOU BASTARD...look at the trouble you've started.

only kiddin mate...Like i said, do your homework, and if you do decide to go for a Landy ( ANY LANDY ) enjoy it.
 
I recently had similar money (closer to 2k than 3),looking for a disco. i could not find a TD5 under 3k worth buying, i ended up getting a '96 300tdi auto, jap import.i would try to find one of these if you can, they tend to be in a better overall condition than a uk one, and dont have a factory fit alarm system, which is a very good thing !.

Hi what is the issue with the factory fit alarm?
 
They can go wrong (the immobiliser part) and cause problems starting and cutting out (see 300tdi's are crap:D)
You can buy a bypass kit. Try searching for 'alarm spider' should give you some info.
 
Bumping this, been having a look around this past weekend with my granddad and seen a few V8i LPG Discos.

Am I mad looking at these, the cars seem in good nick and at around £2000-2500 they seem good value for the mileage?
