what do i do ???

hi there - its time to make a big decision & was hoping for some input
My disco needs the following for mot
welding ( probably 300 or 400 quids worth )
rear wheel bearings
steering arm
steering damper
headlamps
probably a full bush kit
& this is just what i know about !!!
Its done 189k and when i recently did the big end shells i discovered the crank lobes are oval !
Is this really worth spending another load of money on ??
I have a 2000 focus and was thinking would i be better off selling the disco & the focus then trying to find a better disco with the cash i raise from the two or am i better with the devil i know than one i dont
Really dont know what to do here guys so any input appreciated !!
Thanks in advance

yes get rid , and buy mine , thats in disco 1 forsale section

righto will have a look in the for sale section

If funds/space allow sell the Focus, buy a decent 300TDi, then break the 200TDi to gain extra money for the newer Disco.

redhand is sellin his disco anorl

Your 200 TDi will be worth more as parts! Get on that flea bay and get it listed!

cheers johnny - how would u suggest i list it - i guess the cheapest way would be to ad as a breaker call for parts & prices ???
ebay charges are getting stupid !

Look at the how to break a disco thread. If you have a garage. And time to do it you can strip to bare bones and get good money for it. Plus weighing in what's left.

Wheels
Dash
Gearbox
Props
Axles and diffs
Seats
Sell dickies separate
Toward
Lights
Glass
Sunroofs
Suspension if good
Switches
Roof lining if good
Steering wheel
Transfer box

It all mounts up.
Bought mine for £600 to be a donor and even with using engine made that back

like it - if only i had some cash lol

cheers chunkey monk but i only have a drive way and not much time - the original plan was to sell the focus to repair the disco but in reality its not worth doing - could i not sell the parts on a remove yourself kinda basis ???

gutted its got to go , its a dam good work horse. with a winch and some decent wheels tyres , it would do someone proud.

Not really, you need time and space. If there someone local off here with a yard or something they might allow you a space for beer and possible parts.

whats it worth as is complete ???
it runs absolutely sweet

Put it out for offers. Have a figure you will accept. Bear in mind it would be a project for someone so you won't get top dollar. The one I bought had lower mileage but was rot to hell and I was told I paid too much

it certainly will 1spin - id snap yur hand off if i had the cash

i reckon 500 quid is about all its worth but i just cant bring meself to take that for it right now - spent loads on it

It's probably thereabouts to be fair. Is it covered in kit?

Similar boat as me (but my Disco ain't rotten), spent nigh on £3k on the Disco, just needs a bit of welding to see her right .. but the Mrs is p'd off at spending on an old car! Even with a year's tax on her I'd be lucky to get £750, so if my hand is forced I've told her I'm breaking her up.

if youve mispelt & mean **** then it is - if you mean off road kit then no its standard lol

yeah leave her dewin lol
