Hi and welcome! Tidy looking disco. Keep us updated with your upgrades.

As mentioned, a poor repair which was likely covered in underseal. The rust will also be worse than what you can see as the chassis will be rusting from the inside. There might be space to negotiate on price given the cost of repair but unless you can weld, it won’t be cheap and the rot will be...

Hi and welcome! To begin with, I wondered why a picture of some scaffolding had been posted until I scrolled down further! Nice looking disco. That’s quite a list of preventative maintenance done there too.

The BFG AT’s on my disco 1 were the best tyres I’ve had. They had excellent wear and Road holding for a Land Rover. I’ve currently got Cooper ATR’s on my 90 and they are all terrain but with a slightly more Road-biased pattern and again last well and have good road manners.

Looks very smart. Don’t worry about the non-original engine, all landies are different!

One of the rear hubs developed a slight weep. 🙄

Hi and welcome! Selling the kidney will probably be to pay the ULEZ. But until then, we need pics of the new Landy. We like pics… 😁

Hi and welcome! Very nice looking Landy! A local registration number too. Make sure you also invest in some decent security measures. Landies are popular with thieves.

Have you cleaned the earths? I had similar symptoms on my Tdi recently which were sorted by new battery earths to the body and chassis. My previous Td5 disco had difficulty starting due to a leak from the fuel pipes from the fuel pump too which also let air into the system so worth checking these.

Hi and welcome! If you are handy with spanners, you’ll save yourself a lot of money. There’s lots of help and advice here when you need it. And as mentioned, don’t forget to add some pictures of the new Landy!

Wolf rims fitted!😁😁

Very slow today. On most threads and posts i open, I get a message saying the page failed to load. Even liking a post is taking a long time.🙄

That’s great that you’re keeping it. You’ll have a fantastic disco!

Gutted for you. It’s a great looking disco. Could you not get an engine from the likes of RP Engineering or someone who specialises is V8’s?

When she finds out how much you’re spending on it… 😬

Nice looking disco. Good luck with the sale, someone will get a good one there.

Ultimately, make it as difficult and noisy as possible to steal. It will increase the chances of the scrotes going elsewhere or getting caught.

It was a straightforward repair in the leak, which was around £180 including VAT and delivery. The recon was, as mentioned, around £500.

I used DTM Diesel in Bristol earlier this year and had very good service. Posted, repaired the following day and delivered by hand that afternoon, although I am relatively local. Others have used diesel Bob, although I haven’t. Maybe a local Landy specialist can recommend someone closer to home.
