If you can slide the transfer 'box lever from side to side, someone has installed the cable connection.

In your expert opinions would you say this over priced for its age/mileage?

Id say thats too much !!
My 2002 facelift GS with 102k is only worth a little more than that !.
Keep looking, as for £4000 you should be looking newer that 2000 and less miles.
Cheers.

Imo that is £1500 to £2000 too much money.
For £4000 you should be looking at facelift cars 2002+

Tekky stuff...I dunno, I get my local garage to do it but it drives and tows marvellous.

Really? Not in my area. Searched for months for my D2 very recently and facelifts were generally 5-6k upwards unless you were talking 200k+ miles.
I got my 2000 ES with all the goodies for 4.5k in great conditions.
Everyone says ditch air and Ace but I love them both and I would pay for the repair costs if/when they go wrong. But its my main car not a weekend toy like some others.
A D2 definitely matches your needs by the sounds of it. I was very impressed watching someone else's on normal road tyres getting through some proper mud with the help of TC recently.

I thought it seemed a bit steep so that's cleared that up
As for my car it's nothing special, maybe even chavy some will say! Honda civic type-r, quite fast and very fun!
Haha, I sold my Type R for my disco. Like you say great fun, but I haven't looked back that's for sure.

I've only been looking at them for a few days and anything I've seen(in a color I like) has been over £3500 with over 100k.
My other problem is.......I'm gunna get hung for saying this on a landy site :behindsofa:.......I'm 28 and worried about looking like an old man or a farmer in it!!! Must still be my inner child thinking like that! I have mates who I call townies and mates who are country boys, I'm a mix of the two!

Great comments chaps. These are the sort of encouraging comments I need to hear! I'm forever telling my misses she needs to stop worrying what people think of her, she turned to me yesterday when I was saying"will I look an old man having a disco as my only vehicle" and said :kettlepot: I had no come back!!
I'm meeting my town mates in the pub to watch the footy tomorrow so they'll be trying to undo all the good your comments have just done!!

But look at what **** they will all drive to pub in and think do i want something crap or something that puts a Hugh smile on my face ? Landrovers are like a virus once you get infected you can hide it away with medication (other cars) but it will always be in the back of your head that you wish you had one. Or to put it in simple turns "once you've had black theres no going back" white chicks haha !

Your very right there, only 1 of them has a decent car, the rest have sheds. And me being Mr Prepared for every eventuality a disco is great. I very nearly didn't make it home sat night after a meal because of the floods and my car being low. Floods, snow or ice, if your in a landy your prepared no matter what the weather throws at you.
And these days I'm more into camping and dog walking than nights on the town so I need whats practical for me and my life style.
