Hi guys
I thought you might be interesred in hearing about an unmarked police Discovery TD5 on 52 plate. My P/officer friend was parked up "monitoring traffic" when i passed him in my Freelander,We are both landrover fanatics so we got chatting about the police disco. I was looking at all the police equipment inside and how it differed from a normal one and he gave me a demo of the very well consealad blue strobes and sirens. I was amazed to find out and see for myself that the disco had done 255,000 miles in 4 years. My friend confirmed that it was still the original engine and 2nd clutch (changed at 85,000) and that nothing major had gone wrong with it despite it having been thrashed beyond belief. He puts it down to servicing every 10,000 and this just shows the strength of these cars even when given such a hard life.
They also change the tyres and brakes every 4,500 whether needed or not-imagine paying the bill for that.
Anyway the point of all this is to find out if anyone knows of any disco with more mileage than this one.
Please respond if you do.
Cheers
