Thing is iam retiring
And I can’t afford 29 mpg and 340 tax
But I can afford to run it round the block now and then to keep it aired shall we say
Do you think value will go up
I think a good chassis is everything

Yes if I had the space I would buy one tomorrow even now
If putting it right cost £5000 it would still be a good cheap car

Yes having one done crossed my mind the other day I will do ASAP
Think iam sticking with old girl
Like I say if some get there way £10000 td 4 could become worthless overnight

Out of interest what’s your thoughts on the future for big diesels I feel if minority get there way could be priced off road
Sadly this country tends to pander to minorities

Just read that link they do appear to be a good engine but mine has done double that mileage but full service every 5000
Massive question 3/4 disco will out do a td 5 in every department so long as you have money to keep it going £1000 for cam belt fit

The only thing that makes me hang onto it is the chassis is mint condition and it does what I want
What do you replace it with even good disco 3/4 can be money pits
Don’t know what to do

Td5 discovery done 250000 miles still goes well and well locked after
Looks like head is coming off due to crack
Is it worth dropping piston out and ringing
Anyone know from experience will it be worth it or will it be still good
Had full service every 5000 from 4 years old

M
Yes that’s my first plan of attack
Doubt I will be that lucky it’s done 250000 miles driven steady and well serviced
Cracked head would disappoint but not shock me

2nd is fine reverse can be a problem though
Guy just sat in it said clutch was fine and also could not fault the gearbox said maybe a bit sloppy but nothing to worry about what do you want 243000 miles
But what ever getting in 1st at a junction can be a bitch
If I delve in and the bias plate...

Discovery TD5
Having difficulty selecting 1st when stationary engine running or stopped
It does slip in easily if motor is rolling slowly
Ok box has done 245000
Clutch 200000
Slave and master cylinder about 20000
You never get grinding just don’t like going in gear
I don’t suspect a clutch...
