Now The Missus Wants One

After taking the family out on the greenlanes a couple of time in the old leaf sprung series 2 my Wife has decided she likes it but can do with out the aches that result from pre technology motoring.

We are selling the family MPV and looking for a Disco.....looking to be a 300Tdi up to a max of about 7k.

Anything in particular that should be looked at carefully, or any other advice much appreciated.

Check out the boot floor. They hold moisture and rot badly.

upto 7k you should get a real good example for that
low miles and FSH for a TDi
you could even pick up a TD5 for that sort of money private

OK, we had a drive of a Tdi today and I found it a little disapointing as far as using it for the normal family car goes. Unfortunatley they also had a V8 there which I must admit was not what I had been planning on but it was such a good drive that I am seriouosly tempted. It has a gas conversion done by the people who are selling it (they have a proven track record in this field) so I am told that the cost of running it is no where near the cost of a petrol only model.
What is the genaral feel on the V8? The rest of the car is by far one of the best we have seen.
