Aye it has do a search

forget the search... Buy a Defender. If ye don't, ye'll always wonder

dpeends what you want to do wiv the vehicle.
Deepender is the best off road, Disco is more comfy and family friendly.
You need to think about what you intend to do with it.
Discos are generally cheeper for the same age / mileage / condition.

Driven a deepender at the GF work, not sure mini me would fit in too, but I like em, generally I#m after an all rounder, got to be a good drive/ride, be used for work and also my new toy to get dirty. Mileage per week can be upto 750, nut trying to get that down to 300.

Been looking at Disco's at bout 120-150k miles, how long should they go on for?

if they've bin looked after - regular oil / filter changes - and not bin thrashed, the 200 TDi or 300 TDi injun should be good fer 250 / 300k.
also, cam belt should be changed every 60k - check abso****inlootly definitley that it has bin done.
These peeps are good fer Discos - call in and ave a look on yer way back from Plymouth.

Cheers mate, I'll have a butchers on ma way home.

Get ya boiler sorted?

nah - one thing I won't feck about with is Gas - Leccy and water yes, but not something that can blow me up or kill me with carbon monoxide!
Had a gas leak once - it was accumulating behind the dry-lining in the wall - fecin lucky to spot it.
Boiler's due it's annual service in November, so I guess i'll get that bought forward to avoid an extra call-out charge.

ffs tin ead, how did you spot gas behind a dry lined wall

wiv a match?

cuttin an ole ter fit a new leccy socket!

yer must have special eyes to have seen the gas

special nose

Could lend ye missussess specs, can't see ferk all with them on but might detect gas

dunno, i used g wagens 4 years, av ya seen the cost ov 'em now........holy poo..
so i gets discos to destruct...ok tho, quite impressed...good mpg, comfy...& for around 3k, who gives a truck.....just check it out good....200tdi seem to be cool.....
