Hi all
I'm thinking of buying a Discovery TD5 on a V reg. Have spoken to the guy selling it and he is saying that there is a slight judder on pull-away - it doesn't happen when you're driving, only on pull-away.
He's no mechanic like myself, but in his opinion it could possibly be something in the gearbox. Myself, having had a Ford Transit do the same thing in the past, have been told that it's the pressure plate or thrust bearing. Now, I know that obviously these are two different motors but I wondered if it would be something similar to the Transit issue or if there is anything that would be a common problem to the Discovery?
If it's a common issue, any ideas on what it could be and (most importantly!) what would the cost be to put the problem right? The guy is asking £4000 for the V Reg to take into account this issue.
I'd be grateful for any help or advice on this and appreciate your time.
Thanks, Mark
