Just putting the feelers out to see if there is any interest in my Disco.
It was laid up 7 months ago due to a death in the family and ran out of MOT in April and is on SORN.
I had it MOTed this week and it failed on poor brakes and rough steering and headlight aim and no pattern on one side so IMO will need disc's and pads all round a track rod end and maybe a PAS box new headlight adjusters and maybe a headlight but it was full of condensation.
It needs no welding at all as this was done by a previous owner.
So we have a 1995 M Reg 5 door 300 TDI Discovery in Montpellier Red ( Burgundy) with sand trim.
Freestyle alloys with Insa Turbo traction track tyres with loads of tread on them.
In fair condition for year but does have marks and scratches and some oxidisation on places, the bumpers are a bit scruffy, the front diff whines a bit as there is a leak on the housing where is has been bashed and repaired by a previous owner.
The central locking is a bit hit and miss as you would expect and the rear wiper is not working but the windows are ok.
The interior is ok but not perfect but is clean. No stereo.
A previous owner has spent a lot of money on it as it has had all the usual welding done as far as I can tell with some very heavy duty box section sills fitted and the floors and boot floor repaired.
It has no sunroofs but a few bits of rust around the alpine lights.
185,000 miles on the clock but starts first time and has the usual crunch into 2nd gear if changing too fast. It has had a VIC check around 2006 so was most likely a cat c write off which was repaired but cant see any signs of major damage.
When I bought it last year It had the following new parts fitted to keep it reliable.
Timing belt and tensioner, water pump and gaskets inc P gasket, serpentine belt , thermostat, header tank, top and bottom hoses and I had the radiator reconditioned by a local firm and fresh coolant.
Also had a oil and filter service. and a paddock sports exhaust system fitted. This lot came to just under £400 in parts. It has done very little miles since as it was laid up.
I don't have the time to sort it myself at the moment but I wont give it away either no doubt I will have forgotten some things and I will try to get some pics up but we all know what a 300 disco looks like.
Any questions I will get back to you as soon as I can
Car is in Sheffield near J31 of the M1. Collection only
I want £850 ovno
