its threads like this that give me nightmares about buying a disco, granted the buyer was very unlucky it seems but it could happen to anyone who has just bought one and doesnt know the true history of the car.

handy to know for me too, id prefer an auto in a big old bus like a disco but was worried about the expense of an auto box if it went wrong

is the last post saying this is for a current 5 seater that is converted now would be hard to make it legal? even if it was converted like it would be leaving the factory 10 years ago? i.e no headrests in the 3rd row how is this not ok if it was done to a factory spec albeit a 10 year old one?

im new to this mate, whats ACE?

clearly not, care to enlighten me then

other than routine car maintenance what extra is involved with a 4x4 is it just fluid changes on the diffs etc

some do i guess. thanks for all the replies guys
