Hi Guy's
For a start I know nothing about Land Rovers as I am an old skool Ford Escort man....
I have just sold the wife's Mondeo ST220 LPG, because she wants another Disco, so we are going to look at one on Saturday, but it has a few issue's that I would like some more info on.
The model is a Disco 2 TD5 ES (I wanted a V8 LPG but this one is black!!)
Anyway, 1st issue is that the key got stuck in the steering barrel, and has now snapped off, (common prob I have read), however the current owner has already had the barrel removed so she can still drive it, so its going to need another one. I had a quick look on ebay and found one 1 for £155 for a D2, loads for a D1 @ £30!! Is this my only solution as the barrel has been chucked now.
2. Owner left front sunroof open and water got in and now radio doesn't work, not really an issue as I can fit a better head unit, but also she said sometimes when going around a corner a warning bong sounds for around 15 times, she said its something to do with hill decent ???
apart from that it sounds good, and the current owner sounds very honest, so any other tips on what to look out for will be much appreciated.
As I don't like/drive standard cars I will know doubt be modding the disco, plan already is to install facelift headlights, some 20" RR alloys (yes it only does the school run but with 3 kids is better than a people carrier), and maybe a tuning box and some uprated bulbs/lights (I run a car lighting business so thats a must)
No doubt I will have more Q's over time so I hope to be popping in here fairly often (as I do with all the other car forums I am a member of!)
Thanks,
Mark
