I'll pop the Disco on Ebay and give it a month to see what goes then scrap what's left.
Disco has done 180k miles.
Keyway/pulley has gone on crankshaft.
Sills need welding.
Front strut broken. Windscreen leaks a bit from centre when raining heavy. The 2 rear window switches on console don't work ( the window motors are fine as I swapped wiring to front switches and then they work )
Apart from that all else seems good.
MOT up in a few weeks so decided to break as I don't have facility/experience to change engine myself and paying someone to do it will be expensive.
Bosch VE has egr connector on top ( typical 300 and not 200 ). Pump had a new shaft bush, o ring and yolk assembly fitted at local Diesel specialist about a month or so ago. So no leaks from that common place. Cost 45 quid.
Starter motor reconditioned 12 months ago. Cost 40 quid.
Alternator throws out 14.5 volts
4 x white modular steel wheels 16 x 7 all fitted with matching set of Goodyear Wrangler S4 235/70/16 tyres with 5mm tread.
Spare is same size steel ( not matching ) with Nankang Sportrek 235/70/16
Also have 2 x M+S tyres which are 265/75/16. Few cracks but tread still on them and may be of some use to someone. I think they are Big Macho ... I'll check.
Car drove fine. Gearbox and diffs all good.
Manual 5 speed R380 box with reverse to the right.
Can I put a mobile number on here mods please so people can ring me?
I'm in Kidsgrove near Stoke.
Oh it's red if anyone wanted panels/doors/bonnet etc
Also have 20 x alloy wheel nuts.
