Well after years of wanting one and a fair bit of guest lurking here I finally took the plunge and bought me a Disco 1 300tdi Commercial. Cost me the princely sum of £450. Figured this is the right crowd for me lol
It's awesome! not Much rust which is rare as I understand it. Boots solid! but it's got a few issues that need sorting out.
But I'll cracknonto them later.
I
What I was wondering is:
Is there anything pressing I need to be doing BEFORE I get involved in other tinkering and rust repairs?
Whilst she's in bits and I'm oily best to do any preventative maintainance I can if you suggest any.
I know about the EGR valve blank and it's effects. And I'm aware that this car is desperate for a good injector clean.
I do have the stuck diff lock issue to tackle. But there's a great thread on that I see.
I also have a nasty little feature where you come off the throttle and there a moment of slack no throttle normality then the car lurches forward. But like having a loose chain on a motorcycle. It's like there's A second where the slack gets taken out then the chain catches. Only obviously it's not a chain lol. The engine seems fine in its mounts.. I'm at a bit of a loss.
Anyways hi everyone!!
