Just got one myself.
Its a 1998 (I think) Discovery 2,
2.5ltr Turbo Diesel.
Automatic transmission
Faded and pealed green colour, currently sitting on the side of a mountain, waiting for me to send a truck to pick it up !
The car is a non runner so I got it very cheap.
The previous owner let it there because it wouldnt start one morning and its been sitting there since December 2005
He was told that it wouldnt bring diesel to the injectors - which I'm hoping is an easy fix - but he never bothered checking it out by a mechanic or anyone else, as he had other cars to move around with and he didnt have the time to deal with it.
So here I am, hoping that I can get some help from you guys to get this Disco back on the road.
This is actually a risk I was willing to take.
If I manage to repair the car easily (mechanically at least) and get it running, then its going to be a keeper and fully restored to former glory.
If it needs a lot to repair, I'll cut my losses and move on.
By the way... been an automatic... does this make it a crappy offroader ? Never had an automatic car before in my life
