Having finally got the cheque through from the insurance, i'm back to disco shopping.

Just been to look at:

"LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 300 TDI 5DR AUTO "0NE DR OWNER" FSH , 5 Doors, Automatic, Station Wagon, Diesel, 1997 P Reg , 93,000 miles, Metallic Blue, 1 Owner. ABS, Alarm, Alloy wheels, Audio remote control, Driver airbag, Electric door mirrors, Electric windows, Power assisted steering, Remote central locking, Roof rails, Sunroof. ONLY ONE DR OWNER FROM NEW,93000 MILES WITH FULL SERVICE HISTORY,14 SERVICES IN TOTAL LAST SERVICED AND MOT D AT 90,000 MILES RECENT NEW MATCHING GOODYEAR TYRES UNUSED SPARE TYRE, MOT AND TAX UNTIL JAN 2009 , CRUISE CONTROL,TWIN SUNROOFS,FREESTYLE ALLOYS LANDROVER MATS SETS OF KEYS ..7 SEATER...........VERY CLEAN IN AND OUT FANTASIC DRIVER EVERYTHING WORKS CREDIT TO IS OWNER.....AND ONLY.., £1,950"

It is very clean and rust free inside although i spotted rust under the sills...
The oil lamp flickers on at very low revs - filter blocked/duff switch/dying pump?
The auto box creeps without your foot on the brakes - is this normal?
I didn't notice an abs warning light on the dash - i assumed there should be one until you move... what else will tell me if the car has abs?

Going back tomorrow to have a second look in better light, what do you all reckon i should barter him down to? Any ideas what spec it is, no leather but cruise seems strange???

Cheers
Antony

All Autos will creep forward in drive at idle. Don't like the sound of the flickering oil warning light - would try to get the seller to change the oil pressure switch & if that doesn't cure it leave well alone. If the car has ABS then there will be a yellow warning light which should come on when the ignition is switched on & go out when the car starts. Find out whether the car had ABS for sure in case a previous owner did the bulb removal trick. Put a post on the Discovery section with all your queries.
