Something to do with some difference in the 4.6 heads, an oil collector pipe or something that was improved on the 4.6 compared to the 4.0. I can’t remember what the guy said the benefit was. The lift is to accommodate the wheels. I’m sure some will judge me for it, but I just love the look of...

Thanks, it’s slow as molasses but once I’ve removed a silencer or two the soundtrack will be worth the fuel bill :)

I’d actually seen this on google images when I was looking for off-road discos. Not quite sure on those arches. Looks like the bubble arches off a mk1 escort works

sorry, imma total newb, and even after a quick google I’m still unclear. What is a pic up? Where do I get them from? thanks in advance

I understand the logic for the td5, and if a good one had have come up in my area I’d’ve considered it for sure. But I’m partial to a V8 having owned a few in the past (although the performance feels comedic compared to the BMW lump in the e39 M5) but who buys a Disco to go fast!?

I think it may be the -35 IIRC I’ll be adding the extended arches as well as the 2” lift. The guy on the call at 4x4tyres said it will have a wide stance. I explained what it’s main function will be and he recommended cooper tyres for it too

It’s still on air. Fully working, and working ACE system too

Right, so after watching many buyers guides on YouTube, and talking to a few people it seemed the general consensus when looking for a D2 was that the TD5 was probably the better buy, and that really you should get the best one you can afford with the lowest mileage as much history as possible...

Thanks for all the replies chaps. What, if we’re being picky, and thinking about ease of resale, is the ideal car. Are people bothered about the facelift? Any colours that are more desirable? What’s the best trim level etc? Do people care about things like leather interior?

Oh no! Thought I was on the disco part of the forum. Ok thanks. And point taken on the base car fundamentals. Cheers

After spending some time in my mates disco recently I’m now looking to get one too. He’s got a D2 on big steels with a small lift, snorkel and light bar. I’ve got about £4500-£5000 to spend and I’m wondering what would be best. Buying one already done or buying one and then modding myself...

Thats great info. Thanks! mans yes, for sure. Pics will happen!

Thanks will do!
