How much does it cost for a re map and what improvements could I expect to see? Is it a complicated job or just a new chip in the ecu? Also what benefit would the blank egr have and would the blanking plate need to be fitted prior to the remap? I notice that you are in Portishead. Where would...

That was one of the first things I checked prior to purchase! I would have probably still got it changed as I wanted DAB radio in the car.

Well, I've only been and gone and bought a Disco!! I picked it up last Sunday. 52 plate Td5 in gun metal grey. 90k on the clock with a full service history and in stunning condition. I bought privately in the end as most of the dealers I spoke to were rubbish.:mad: The guy that I bought it...

Not sure if you mean a disco or a forester! Yes, I've driven both, and a few other 4x4's as well. Hence I've narrowed my list down to either the forester or disco. Obviously they are 2 very different beasts and I like them both for different reasons, just trying to decide which to go for. If...

Wasn't expecting that from a senior member!!!:D Tell me more!

Well, I just reckon I might. I've found a very nice face lift model on a 52 plate with 90k on the clock being sold by an enthusiast who has traded up to a Range Rover. Its a nice looking truck and I had a good old chat with the guy selling it. Going to see it on Thursday. :D It has air...

Thanks for all your feedback. Its a difficult decision to make to be honest. Heart says disco. Head says forester. Wife says if the disco breaks down blah blah blah........!:D

And thats what worries me! I had a Z1000 once. Sold it cos that to was soulless. I bought a Ducati instead. Can't ride it in the rain!

Bargain! I've searched ebay and autotrader and I can't find anything decent for that price. Plus I want something with less than 100k. Although I have just found another one for £4500 with 88k on the clock.

Yes it is, sorry my bad (and inexperience! ). It is a td5.

I can't find a face lift for under £5200 with less than 100000 on the clock.

What mileage has it got on it?

I actually live in a small village halfway between Bristol and Gloucester. Probably not as nice as the lake Geneva shoreline! Thanks for the advice. Like I said the only thing holding me back is lack of mechanical knowledge. Oh and the reputation they tend to come with. Undoubtedly the...

Hi All, I have yet to buy a Disco. I am looking and have found what I believe to be a nice one, 2001, Tdi, auto, 90k, maroon fsh, Mondial alloys, full leather etc. I have spoken to the previous owner who obviously looked after it having waxoyled the underside, changed to coil suspension and...
