Tried one of those online sites that buy 'unwanted' motors today. They quoted £160 for my Disco (MoT failure), that's if they collect it, if I take it to one of their yards I can get as much as £110

Is it really only worth that as scrap value?

yellow90 · Jul 2, 2014

scrap weight yes , a LZ member will have it if it runs though , if you were closer id give upto £350 for a disco , they go anywhere from £300-700 as scrap

No it's worth more,but not to a scrap dealer.It's worth more for the bit's to someone who wants it.

That's what I thought, not the scrap price though obviously. It does run and drives but the Ministry do not think it is road worthy...

if you look at my post ( and perhaps acknowledge it) you will see figures for the value of a rotten running disco

If only I had time and space to break it myself...

The Mrs wants rid :frown: and I have already taken off bits and pieces to make it 'almost' standard

I did

Reminder to self - do not ignore the yellowperil

Brake it for spares if you can.

Axles, gearbox, engine alone will add up more than to the scrap value you have been offered.

I just paid nearly what you have been offered for a back axle.

You have over 50 posts put it in the for sale section on here for offers or some ink

My brother just got £160 for a f**k old vectra none runner picked up

DiscoHat · Jul 4, 2014

Cheers for all suggestions. Just wish I had time and space to break it myself as this seems the better option for getting the most money back from it.

What engine is it? If it's a 200tdi I'd be interested in buying it off you?

Just seen this...

It's a 300tdi

Freetime101 · Jul 7, 2014

Shame, still though - you'll get more money selling the engine/gearbox/axles separately

We've discussed it before via PMs although I can't remember details apart from your offer of possibly welding
