Hello all (again)

I'll be sticking the Rover up for sale at the end of this week, so should hopefully be out looking at Disco's before too long. So my question is this.

I've read in many places that the 300TDi is a superb engine. However, with my budget of £2000-£2500, I'll be looking at a 200TDi i think for that money. So what I want to know is, whats the difference between a 200TDi/300TDi? Same performance, same power, and same economy from what I can see, am I missing something?

Another Rovertecher lurking on here...!!!

Look for rust in the boot floor and rear chassis, look for rust in the front inner wings; look for evidence of absolutely no TLC and knackered suspension and look for oil leaks...

Oh mate, you don't need to convince me about the merits of a V8.

However, my other half isn't so easy to convince She said my next car has to be a derv, so this is my way of rebelling
