Well, I’ve been and bought it! Just come in from washing and polishing the old girl. The dealer knocked off £250, gave it a full service, a fresh MOT and even put a new tyre on the spare wheel as the old one had a nail in it. So I now have a new shiny black Discovery to look after and a...

I’ve just walked away from buying a TD5 (deposit paid as well!) I have the money and it would be lovely driving around in a shiny 03 reg, but I’ve had my beloved 300TDI for many, many years and its never let me down (apart from rusting away for this years MOT) I feel I owe the old girl and she’s...
