Hi All, I will be breaking my D1 300tdi from the 15/09/12 in Central Portugal.
Engine 300tdi, 131,000miles. Cambelt changed at 118,000miles. Head gasket changed roughly 600miles ago, head professionally skimmed at the same time. Engine starts first time everytime, no cranking involved - first turn of the key. One puff of black smoke on start up and also under heavy acceleration.
R380 gearbox - usual snick from 2nd to 3rd but it hasn't worsened in the 18months I've owned the vehicle.
Guardian tubular winch bumper with A-bar and land Rover badge. A solid beast, surface scratches so it has been recently re-painted, no bends or dents. When I bought the vehicle it had a no name Chinese 12,000lbs winch on it, it's now got a T-Max9,500 on it.
Heavy duty steering guard, not sure of the make but very solid. Galvanized but I painted it black to smarten it up.
Safari snorkel, no problems but a naughty tree took the grill off so it's now meshed up.
Front axle has recently been re-built with new crown wheel and gubbins.

All oils and coolant changed every 6months, swivel housing one shot changed yearly.
Wind screen about 4 months old.
All bar the rear os electric windows work.
Exhaust now exits through the rear lower quarter panel for clearance.
Black checker plate (painted) on doors. Home made by the looks of it.
Very solid heavy duty black tubular rock/tree sliders. Monsters. Break these and you've side swiped an ice-berg.
2x Insa Turbo Traction Trac 285/65/16, about 500miles road use, I took them off to come over here, not used them since, very clean.
5x factory fitted alloys, look fine from a distance, up close they're a bit aged. Wearing 4 BFG ATs, clean side walls, about 8mm left. The spare is mounted on a steel wheel, Bronco mud pattern, abused but holds it's breath, never changed it over as it's looking a bit tired now.. more of a get you home tyre.
Un-named 12,000lb winch, Chinese made (I think), works fine but I soaked the solenoid box so bringing back an All Bright one for it 09/10/12. SWR. Not wireless remote.
I've had the Disco for 18months with no problems, but it is scruffy! Bringing my 110 over and can't afford to run 2 vehicles.
You're welcome to view anytime, test drive etc. I can help you taking the parts off but I don't have a hoist, bring a decent tackle block and we can winch the engine out with the help of a heavy duty cork-oak!
No MOT or Tax, She has been looked after and serviced by an ex-pat who spent 16yrs working at Solihull and on touring/rally cars prior. Rough looking, good solid insides.
If you want to make an offer for the Vehicle whole you're more than welcome, not in a rush to sell so would need to cover the broken parts.
Extremely capable off road, a beast on tarmac.
If you're want the vehicle whole I'll leave the the HD Bearmach springs +2" and the Pro-Comp9000 shocks on, if breaking I'll keep them, they've done 10k road miles and about 600 plodding off road miles.
