Thanks for all the help guys, The none working P is something I can live with. Still havent managed to engage the diff lock for love nor money it wont budge to the left at all. Gonna have a look through previous posts and see whats what, has been suggested that it wasnt fitted with it as it...

The Auto Box was in N and the handbrake and footbrake both applied as such the vehicle was stationary.

It was already over to the right it was kind of pointing towards me if you know what I mean. It could move forwards and backwards so it went into L and H I guess from reading a few other posts it could be siezed or very stiff as I was kinda being gentle with it when moving it around, and didnt...

Should it be in High for normal driving or should it still select gear when in N? as it didnt seem to want to engage drive when it wasnt in either H or L? Ive used the search function and it seems the diff lock lever/function is diffrent with Auto and Manual so it doesnt push to the left as...

Well Ive put a deposit on it until my cheque clears tomorow but I have a few questions first, its a 1996 ES Diesel Auto, 144,000 miles, £1950.00. All the eletrics work from what I could tell. The rear sun roof has been sealed due to a leak I presume but the trader hadnt realised...

Besides the classifieds on here, Auto trader, Ebay & Piston Heads where else should I be looking for my Discovery? Ive gone through all of the above with a fine tooth comb and have narrowed a few to view over the weekend hopefuly but before I do is there any other Landrover websites I could...

Ahhh, I guees I should give more detail then, Its insured as a second car so they cant count my 7yrs NCB as thats used on my other car, but they do take them into account in some way. Im 27 with 3points(Mobile Phone), the Missus (27 as well) who is also covered on the policy has no points...

My cheque came through so I now have the money I have been waiting for so I can go out and buy my Disco :). As such I decided to get a proper quote rather than go comapre type sites etc. Go Compare etc quoted about £600+ at best. After using the search feature on here it seemed a few recomended...

That made me chuckle, the silly things we do to impress... I had a black eye last week as I tried walking on my hands for my 3yr old daughter and it went horribly wrong lol.

It would seem the genral opinion points towards an Auto box then, I will be going out this weekend to test drive a few diffrent ones and come towards my own opinion. Thanks for the advice boys and girls. (more questions to follow)

I suppose thinking about it the question should of been when used for off road what would be best Auto or Manual? The diffrence in MPG on the road would be 1-4MPG at best I would imagine and as said by Jailon I'm not buying it for economy, but im also not buying a petrol as I'm not made of money.

I'm new to the forum but I have used the search forum option but with no luck. I'm currently looking at buying a Discovery around the £1500-£2500 mark. It will be a diesel as I belive it will work out cheaper in the long run. The question is do I buy an Automatic version or a Manual? If I...
