Evening everyone,
We have moved to a part of the country (worcestshire) where the flooding, hills and ice means I have use for a Landrover again. Having had previously a disco 3 I have decided to go with a disco 2, as they are cheaper to get a nicer one.
I found one table and will collect it next week although I am still trying to work out if I am mad. I knew exactly what I wanted and service history was key although I have just purchased a 90k miler that had sh upto 54k and then nothing as it was traded in to a main dealer and they did their usual trick of passing the vehicle on and binning all receipts.
It was a 1 owner car for 14 years and it's in great condition with only really the odd bit of surface rust on the chassis in a few areas but it has been really cared for and it drove that way. It's had a new clutch/ flywheel 1k miles ago and mainly services (according to previous owner) but as it was independent garages they never got the stamps in the book but all the receipts back it up (well they would if dealer had not got rid of them)
So in short I bought something in great nick and drives very well but all the work for the last 5 years is all no longer documented but the condition / drive seem to back it up.
Will change all the fluids as a matter of course but time will tell if the lack of official evidence of sh bites me in the arse!!!
Hope to meet a few people at a meet one day in the future as would like to take the kids green laning
