Hi all. I'm looking at buying a Discovery as we do a lot of camping and need the space, etc. I've had a 4x4 before and have driven loads while in the Forces. However, I know little of the pitfalls with buying a second hand Discovery and am after advice. Preferences are Diesel, Manual and up to £3,000. I know this isn't a lot but for what I'm after I can also get the equivalent in a Pajero or Hilux but would prefer to go the Land Rover route if I can so any advice is much appreciated.
Many thanks
Chris

OK, so looking good but a few questions:
a. To get a Discovery for up to £3,000 what series/model should I aim for at this price?
b. What's the best engine size, prefer diesel?
c. Manual the best?
d. Main problems (apart from servicing, tyres, etc) to look for when buying?

Cheers

Chris
