The time has come, unfourtunately, to sell my disco, i am going for a newer car as it has become surplus to my requirements, no longer self employed so dont need it to throw gear in or tow trailers, got work vehicles to do that with now.
its a silver XS with half leather seats with the land rover logo cloth, seats in good condition, worn and a small split on the side of the drivers seat but not major.
heaters work bang on as do all the buttons, stero related ones dont as its a different one, some bulbs have gone on the dash but only the buttons and the clock are gone.
current mileage just over 89000.
has a warn m8000 with synthetic rope mounted discrete on the front, all wired up to a 300A kill switch, wireless remote x2.
2" britpart supergas lift medium duty so has some give under normal driving but will still carry some weight if you need it to.
will be sold with 4 265/75/16 insa turbo dakars with average tread mounted on old style boost alloys, have a set of 5 8 spoke steels which can go with it too.
I have a steering guard to to with this too, used but not fitted.
has front and rear diff guards.
upgraded stereo and speakers all round including 6x9s in rear pillars.
it has beena brilliant vehicle, ive done 18000 miles in 18 months with it, serviced twice since ive had it and sailed through its MOT with no advisories and would expect a similar outcome again next time round. MOT is up in march but i can put a 12 month ticket on it for the sale. tax is up in january.
new cambelt last october along with relevant gaskets, water pump good, just had a new P gasket so no coolant leak, gets up to temp and sits there no problems no matter what its pulling.
dixon bate adjustable towbar with double pin plate.
silicon intercooler hoses.
new valeo clutch kit including fork and slave cylinder nov 12. during this was done a new set of bearings was put on the front of the gearbox.
new rear wheel bearings in october, along with new brake discs, calipers and pad, new brake pads on the front and new bearings went on in august.
all oils changed at the start of this year, serviced march this year and october this year.
the only britparts on this are the springs. everything else is allmakes and bearmach.
boot floor has been patched, as have the rear arches and front near side, all this year. theres still spots that need attention but the worst is done from what i gather.
got twin sunroofs. the back one leaks and i think the front does too but only shows on the headlining around the top of the window. drivers side is unaffected by it.
trying to be as honest as i can with it, its been a good bus to me and ive looked after it where possible.
it has never been green laning or to a P&P site, 1 previous owner before me who had it from new and only went fishing in it. I live on a farm and have used it across the fields, been stuck deep once, bit muddy every now and again but not really been across them that much.
paint is a bit scruffy in places, ive got a few test colour spots on the roof as i havent got round to respraying yet. would happily throw the cans of paint i got with it to finish off the colouring. theres a wooden rear shelf with bungee strops in too which can stay in, useful for putting all sorts on and you can sit on it so will take the weight of tools etc. i used it for carrying saws.
got a few pics on this PC but it needs to be cleaned and prepped for some proper photos shortly so will update in due course.
looking for £2000 or offers, i know its a clean straight landy with plenty character and is low mileage for its age. Its got plenty life left in it.
please PM me if you want to arrange a viewing or for offers, can pass my number over too.
Hope ive covered everything. happy to answer questions
Raised the price as I've found a lot of extra bits for this and with what's on it it's worth it. Winch alone with the mount would see a few extra hundred
