Took the front end of the Disco to inspect behind it and look at winch mounting. Played with the fuel lines replacing one that was leaking, hoping I should get a few more MPG now its stopped leaking like a sieve. Tried a 750-16 on in standard form before my 2" lift kit turns up.

I would agree with you if I was advising someone else, if I was actually buying myself then I couldn't help but go for a ropey Defender, there seems a decent 110 for 2k for sale at the moment ;)

This. I could convince my old man for a new project. Sounds like an 88" Series 3 to me.

I'd be interested in the bumper. Shame your not local or I'd help remove it and you could sell the winch, as I have a bumper.

As said above about the Discovery, most will have had the big bills spent on them. Of course there is still that chance but there is with any used car. I have a 95 3.9 V8 and a 99 TD5 Discoverys they both have there plus sides, but the previous owner of my Td5 spent a decent wedge meaning...

Don't forget that different specs could be added. My XS is nigh on as high spec as an ES minus the leather and climate control. I think every other option was ticked. And then some that arn't on the ES model. Think what options you want and find one with them all, the only thing extra I...

Gutless pile of junk.

At this price your almost giving it away, shame am not more local :(

That settles the "what tyre" debate.

V8 noise will make it all worth while.

Mine has it and has been repaired. With the ACE in line it makes it corner much better IMO.

Hahaha, strange you should say that. I was given my Disco's as I couldn't get motivated to fitting another clutch in my MR2. I keep looking for a 90 to swap for my Disco 1 V8 but 90 prices vary wildly.

Hello, indeed that is correct. Would you be Steve?

It gets worse, others don't help as they think you have a Land Rover lets ditch our junk round there, namely more Land Rovers. At one point my dad had 2x Series 2a's, one utility and a CSW. 2x Series 3's, one ex military one utility. 2x Discoverys 300tdi and Td5. 2x Range Rover classics one...

His not looking at Defenders so that tells me its going to spend nearly all its life on the road, the extra grunt in a TD5 with the SLS will make it so much better to tow with. When ever I have to tow anything I pick the TD5 over the D1. Even thou the D1 is a later 3.9 V8 ES so its well...

Highest spec TD5 you can afford. Self Leveling Suspension (SLS) can be problematic but worth it. Active Corner Enhancement (ACE) another pain but makes it drive so much better. As mentioned look for rust, anywhere and everywhere. I have a D1 V8 and a D2 TD5. For towing and road use the...

I blamed the drive by wire, I hate the delay on modern cars.

I have a series 3 bonnet with a wheel carrier if anyone did require one ;)

Pay the extra and get one with LPG you won't regret it in the long run. My D1 V8 averages between 11-15 MPG. My TD5 averages between 27-30 MPG

My Disco is on 175k, serviced right there is no reason why it would be any worse than any other engine really.
