Nice one. Under all the ****e on it I reckon there is a tidy Disco! Be good to see it after a clean! Did the fags come with it too?

WOW. I'm talking ****e, as per usual. Looking through the trader... £2.5k!

Well, I was looking at a TD5 not long ago and they seem to go from £3k for a tired, auction worthy example to £5k for something that the owner believes to be a marketable Disco. Going buy those that have sold, I'd estimate that £4 seemed to be a reasonable amount. However, I was looking at the...

Strawberry Chewitts?

Hey beast, I'm not sure if you've considered chopping in your steel wheels for some alloys... It's ok, you have see through glass and no vent on the wing, you'll not get laughed at :D

Either way, at least whatever I drive, I haven't tried to make look like I am a drug dealing pimp :P I'm not going to start offending other users here, seems that that's already been done!

Heh heh, nowt wrong with my Vectra. It's quite 'ansome lol.

Standard TD5 Discoveries are 135bhp, some 65bhp less than your approximated 200bhp monster you have.

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt when I said each to their own. As you have rightly stated I do have a Vectra, which is useful for my wife to take our child to school in. Perhaps my daughter is in the same class as you? At no point did I say that I only have a vectra, I could have said...

I'm not exceedingly jealous as I have some nice 15" wheel trims on my Vectra, which is er... 118bhp I think. Should I have wanted something on massive wheels and much improved power, I wouldn't have bought the Vectra. What I don't understand is, why buy a Discovery if you want something oozing...

Drink two pints of water, then look at the picture again, with pursed lips. you should be able to replicate the effect of a pressure washer. It might actually get rid of the little crumbs that are ever present in a keyboard too!

Having done a small search on Google (Other search engines are available) I found one pic on Simonites web site. It does indeed look cock. Still, each to their own eh?

Be a bit cheaper then lol. Fair do's, I had an SJ410 when I was 20, paid something like £900 to insure that. I did live in Oxford and it was the height of car crime then though!

Use the leak as bargaining power as you are buying something that is needing attention, or get them to repair it first. Wow, I wish I could be this confident. In my past experience, the only cheap thing about a Disco is the insurance. Maybe I'm negative but some inexpensive things lead onto...

75mph is not going to be the most economical speed, although I imagine UAE fuel is cheper than UK? :crazy_driver: LOL

Seeing a theme here? Incorrect valve clearances will have an affect on your performace as it will not allow your engine to breathe efficiently. The most important factor of a smooth, economic engine is its ability to breathe.

Reckon robint would swap my wife for his Disco? She is a good cook and awesome at making money appear from nowhere (always useful for a landy owner!)

It was a "make me an offer" affair. I know the car and have done a few hundred miles in it myself and other than the fact it was a full time job to point it in the right direction it wasn't that bad. Some of the welding (rear arches and fron inner arches) had set fire to the wiring for the LPG...

Thanks Sean. Kind of confirming my theory that if it has got that bad, there is worse to come! I'll keep to my original thought of a tidy 300 TDi then. With a good few grand to throw about I think I'm better off waiting for something that has been nurtured rather than last minute repairs!

I've been offered a 96(P) V8i with SINGLE point lpg. it has had a massive amount of welding (needing over 1M sq of mild steel) among various other stuff to achieve it's last MOT. It's now suffering overheating problems. It has 160k+ miles with vague steering, useless cruise control and most of...
