As most of you know i have had many problems with my n reg disco that i brought last december! The gearbox has now gone and i have been quoted £1800.00 for service/repairs, parts and labour. The question is do i get the work done and keep it for another year or buy something else and sell the disco as i don't seem to be having much luck with this disco.

Does anyone need parts???:D :) :eek:
 
If the rest of the car is solid, buy a 2nd hand gearbox and whack it in.
Mechanical parts - injuns, gearboxes etc are worth replacing / repairing but rotten chassis / bodywork often aren't.
 
Its a N reg, black disco 7 seater DTi. Full service history, 108 000 on the clock.

Let the bidding start!

I have a complete running 200tdi that only needs a new chassis and a new body.

Super engine and transmission.

Shi--y world we live in,15yrs ago it would have an exchange box fitted and keep working - no questions,it would be worth too much to scrap.If its not rusty stick a box in it and see if you can get another 10yrs out of it.Then its truely green.
And it does not cost £1800 either.(even with an Ashcroft box)
 
ive just had me r380 box rebuilt at a cost of £300.00 + £40.00 for x drilled transfer gear, work on the box done through me local Landy Indy. They would have charged £200.00 labour to have taken the box out and refit but i did that meself.
 
Thank you for the offer Yella, it would cost me more to get it to you! However, I have been offered a LT77 (it might be an LT77s) that has done about 80 000 miles for £150 and a friend to fit it.

The real issue is, the MOT runs out on the 6/12/07, it need the 6000, 12 000 and 36 000 mile service including the cam belt. I have been looking on flee bay and with the milage I reckon that the Beast is worth about £1000 to £1500. I have been quoted £235 for the servicing, £184 for the cam belt and they have not even mentioned the MOT, whick I know it is going to fail. Another question (possibly a silly one!), do you have to have reverse to pass the MOT?
