shall i do it ?

spatuk · Apr 1, 2012

id like some advise, i have a 94 300tdi disco, it is in good condition with just a small amount of bodywork wanting doing and only 1007,000 on the clock, i only use it for pulling a caravan, no off road, and have the chance of swapping it for a 1989 defender 90 it as the old 2.5D engine that as been reconditioned, rear widows, full checker plate kit, that needs fitting on, and 2 sets of wheels, showing 130,000, also no off road, it does needs a respray and it is from a good friend .
What do you think should i swap or not ?
regards

I wouldn't bother unless your planning on fitting the 90 with a 200tdi injun those old non turbo lumps are gutless, Have you driven the 90? There's a lot less room in the cab and they are nowhere near as comfy to drive as a disco but it's up to you in the end.

What I would do is do the swap, tart up the 90 then flog it for a good price as they are more sought after than discos then buy yourself a better disco with the money

Surely it depends what you want out of your vehicle?

Off road ability, easy to mod?

Comfort, quite, economy, luxury?

Are you happy with the Disco?

If it were me I wouldn't have a Disco in the first place, I think they are nice vehicles n all, but Defender is were I'm at.

Course for Horses as they say......

Also, I've had a N/A 2.5, not the best engine going in many respects. But still gets the job done.
