Landrover Discovery 300TDi off roader | eBay

You may recall I was about to buy Cirrus's D1,

But that appears to be about to be sold to a friend of his, water under the bridge

There's no mention of rust and more importantly no mention of ANY welding. With the MOT running out in 3 months that instantly has alarm bells ringing in my head.

Rust could be good for haggling the price down. It could also turn your £1500 investment into a money/labour pit.

If in doubt after viewing it, walk away.

If you are wanting a off roader then this has off road bits fitted and a winch

have you got a picture in your head of how you want your motor to be kitted out and a ruff idea in your head of how much to kit out a standard motor


Obviously you need a good look at every thing people have mentioned
Good luck

Gonna see if he bites

Surface rust, nothing serious yet, will require attention though if i was going to keep it past its 3 months of road tax, currently just going to be used for greenlaning and pay and play,

Got to look at new tyres though, .4mm left,

Seems expensive to me for intergalactic mileage.

I'd have thought nearer £700 for it imho.

Had 2 motors in it, current 300tdi (if mileage is correct at time of installation) is at 135k
