Sorry for the delayed response. Mystery over, its a 15j diesel. I'll put up a picture. Needs some work but it's lovely, my daily driver from the day I fell for it

I fell in love the second I saw it
I think I paid too much for it but I just had to have it
No experience with them other than driving my dad's petrol series 2a back in 1990 when I was 6 and then a 2002 4.4v8 range rover last year so I'm pretty green with these. Any device is very welcome

Welcome, nice landy in the best colour, I would go for an anti theft device first

Thank you very much for your reply.
That sounds like very good advice. It does get a lot of attention, and It is definitely not the most secure vehicle so I will get in to that. Any recommendations?

Congrats on the disco 2, you’ll have to add disco2 to siggy now it’ll certainly be quieter and comfier than the series 3, I’ve had my series 3 diesel about 15 years gradually improving it, you can post in the disco or series forum for specific queries or have a search it’s prob been asked before.
I like the simplicity of the series and it’s easy and cheap to maintain and no sensors unlike the disco
Enjoy them both

Thanks for your reply, you are right but I have to say I just love driving the series 3. But the disco , it is a tool. I really fancy a remap on it but being landy green, I'm to aware or what problems might come from it . Any thoughts?

It’s a swb but I put in a 2.5 disco 200tdi in a couple of years ago but not the turbo so called a Di, a lot simpler swap
