Hi everyone
I have owned a Series 2 swb tax exempt 2.5 N/A diesel, for a little while now i totally love her its a great motor and i have spent hundreds doing her up and replacing parts.

I mainly use it for green laning and a bit of gentle offroading but i would like to use her a bit more often but the lack of speed and drive ability puts me off.

The question is bearing all this in mind do i ,

Sell her and say get a disco 200 tdi/300 tdi

Or say put a 200 tdi in the series parabolics etc to make it drive a bit more modern ish ?

I cant afford a 90 so it has to be one of the above please !!

What should i do ???

Many thanks chris

Sirus! - guy here wants a v8 disco fur 1500 notes.

for that sorta money you WILL be able to get usable 200Tdi engined Disco

you MIGHT be able to find some mug who will sell you a 90 or 110

putting a 200 into the series is a nice idea but you will use a lot of UJ's props and diffs unless your very carefull not to boot it and you remove the turbo

If your series diesel is in good nick as you say you might get a grand for it if you sell it well, then you got 2 and a half which should get you a decent 200 defender (or transplanted 90 200). Just me thoughts!

I'd stick with the series though and grin and bear the bumps, shakes and rattles, was having a chat with a mate this morning who has a series and came to the conclusion that there isn't actually a car on the road which exudes more class or driver contentment! People think they want better things but the joy goes when they get them, the joy is in wanting!!
