I'm selling my discovery, it's a 1995 300TDI in Green. I only bought it recently, but can't afford to be running 2 cars at the moment unfortunately. I can't bring myself to sell the mx5 despite this being much more practical (especially this time of year!).
I've done about 2500 trouble free miles in it. It has MOT until May and TAX (end of) May 2012. It has PAS/CL/EW and a tow bar.
Mechanically the car is very good. It starts perfectly well from cold even if you don't wait for the plugs to warm.The gearbox doesn't have any crunches that lots of these seem to get.
The day i bought it i stripped the intercooler, inlet manifold and pipework off and gave it a good soaking in degreaser (these get gunked up really badly with sludge after with years of use). I refitted it all cleaned out with a new top intercooler hose (EGR blanked!) and inlet/exhaust gasket. I also gave it a service with oil, filter and fuel filter being done. I have also fitted a de-cat to release any more free power that may be in there. I wanted it to be running as well as possible.
I currently have the fuelling turned up to a reasonable (not all-out) level to help the Disco along. It goes very well now with all these bits being done. I recently did a 400 mile round trip and a bit round town in which it did 35MPG. I am happy to reset the fuel pump for the buyer if that's wanted.
The interior is the usual tan colour, in reasonable condition for age. I fitted a different steering wheel to give me more leg room and make the drive nicer - both of which it does very well. I chose a Nardi leather 360mm wheel, which doesn't look out of place at all and is very nice to drive with compared to the standard plasticy, bus sized wheel. (original included). It has 4x electric windows (passenger rear not currently working)
It has Mangol wheels fiited, and comes with a full set of standard 300tdi Alloys which i have bought. It has a different set of nuts for both included. Currenlty has one standard alloy fitted due to a puncture in a mangol - i will try to get this sorted, however the wheels/tyres are the same size so it is completely safe!
It is a non sunroof model and so doesn't have a rotten boot floor like so many - only a couple of patches of surface rust.
