Got one, (a disco) Friday.
1996 Preg, one owner from new,85000 miles,
full service history all done at land rover dealers, every 6000 miles.
The garage I bought it off was 100%. the garage owner even put the car up on a ramp to show me the underneath, I never ask him to do that. No rot anywhere and very very little rust.
the outside has never been painted and looks as good as new.
The engine & gearbox....Well it runs so smooth & quiet you cant tell if the engine is running. Theres no clunks or knocks wines or owt
Honestly it drives like a new car.
Amazed at the fuel,as when I picked it up it was empty,I put £25 quid in and drove 110 miles back home, and the fuel gauge had only moved half way down.
And coming back in very heavy rain, with twin sun roofs NO leaks at all.
I payed £2000 for this, and Im very happy indeed.
This must be one of the best 300tdi's around.
I know ive gone on about it, but Im over the moon with this one.
Thanks for all the advice given from you all.
