I've owned my Disco TD5 GS 5 Seat for 124k miles, and 6 years (from new - I am the only owner). I'm thinking of saying goodbye to the much-loved zambezi-silver machine...
The reason for this thread is two-fold:
1. What's it worth?
2. Interest check (no-one ever searches the "for sale" column)?
It's a great example, which drives and looks far better than the mileage would suggest, with FSH and all problems (even minor) sorted. If you search the threads in here, you will find the full history of the car.
The first 100k miles data is here:
Experience of 100,000 miles in a Disco2 TD5
Main items replaced since 100,000 miles:
1. A few oil seals (no big deal) replaced, reciepts available.
2. New clutch and flywheel (actually the clutch was not worn out, but the flywheel had developed some loose play!)
Servicing history is full and complete, with top-quality synthetic oil used throughout.
Last MOT had the car showing less than .3 emissions, out of a max of 3 (i.e. it runs clean, with approx. 1 litre oil top-ups between 12k services).
BFG AT's ~50% worn, original spare untouched.
Side-steps
Towing bracket
Side-rubbing strips
Waxoyled
Tidy body & paint, no major marks
MOT & Tax to March 09.
Disclosure: It has a VERY minor coolant leak, which is due to get sorted.
If you're interested, I am planning to stay with Land Rover, so will still be on this forum!
What do you think? Any questions? What's it worth?
