Heh, yeah .. I don't like changing cars much .. but actually, we never needed to. It's done everything ever asked of it and more besides. I've had rip-snorters in the past, company cars, sheds, loads of different cars but the Disco was the only one, including the Series, that I ever _really_ liked and which I couldn't fault. (Apart from some of the design 'features, maybe)
I think that's why I tried so hard to get it going again after the swim .. It will run again, but I can take my time now and will probably replace the 90's 19j engine with the 300 tdi, so it'll 'live on' again ..
Early '02 we got it, one owner, FSH 55k on the clock and absolutely mint, apart from a small dent on the offside rear that the owners wife had done the day before we collected it!. £7k cash, down from £8+, all the money we had at that point!
Didn't use it for laning much at first, it was bought to occasionally lane but mostly to tow the caravan to Trials and Model car Racing with enough room for all the necessary kit and two small kids. Then when the alloy started deteriorating .. well, you know ..
It was odd going from a Series 3 to a 'new' Disco ..
Strangely, we bought it less than 2 miles from where I just bought the Defender from!
