Well here it is. Just been and collected this today. Its a 1998 Discovery 1 3.9 V8 SE with a mere 67k on the clock (which checks out on the VOSA MOT reports). Condition all looks fairly good. Usual few little chips and scratches, roof lining sagging a little due to previous sunroof...

I got one of the Halfords Professional kits a couple of years ago, and with it being at the more often than not 'sale' price, it is one of the best tool investments for value for money that I have ever made. And they DO replace bits under the lifetime warranty if you take them back. I know as I...

Just in the process of buying my first 4x4, a 1998 Disco 1 3.9 V8. Hoping to collect it next weekend. It looks in excellent condition and seems pretty standard other than side steps, and has really low mileage. Although it looks good as it is, it wasn't really my intention to buy a really good...
