About to view a disco- any tips on what probs to look out for to help decide whether or not to buy it?

If it's a Disco 1, check for rust in all inner wings, sills and boot floor

Losing coolant on a long run which is confusing the heck outta me considering all the recent work that's been done, so just had a block test & pressure test done, now't wrong with the new HG or block! Once the Mrs has finished work I'm going to by-pass the heater matrix as foot well is a bit damp and ordered a new expansion tank cap too. just to rule those two out as causes.

If so it's a 300TDi, had new stat, water pump & rad fitted when HG was done, but I'd imagine it could be a duff stat. No overheating issues though, all pipes getting hot and coolant is circulating.

In that case I'll remove and test the stat this weekend, I bet you the Indy fitted a crappart one instead of the genuine I insisted on:scratching_chin:

If I find a britpart one in there I'll be seeking some money back from the garage seeing as a genuine one is only £7 more to buy!
