    Disco 2 Disco 2 Chassis Rust

    Hi Discodevon, yes I did get it in Scotland! The prev MOT has flagged rust but at 3k for a car that could get 5k without the rust i took the punt! Thanks for this cambridgecockney. I'm seeing a welder here in Inverness on Monday and if he hit any issues I will PM you and get that ordered so he...

    Thanks for the reply Brian. Yes they advised that even though front section is repairable, mid to rear needs replacing bit it's better to do both. 2.5k for Richard chassis, 1.5k for labour and up to 2k for contingency. Unfortunately, I'm not skilled enough to fit myself. I'm hoping that there...

    Disco 2 Disco 2 Chassis Rust

    Hi All, Looking for some direction and feedback on a risk that perhaps has not paid off! Just moved back from Australia (where rust is not an issue) with about 4k to spend on a LR. Conducted a nationwide search for a low mileage D2 TD5 and after a long search ended up finding a brilliant green...

    Thanks for the heads up Stretch. I suppose I seek solace in the fact that he has a wonderful sense of humour, often the windows elec windows won't work and he has a few dinks anyway, alas always a risk bit for the sake of a bit of cash and insurance perhaps worth it! Plus the Eastern Europeans...

    Many thanks guys. 1500 is the approx RORO price, to fill him up with my belongings means another 750 quid on top of that as he's need to be in a container the whole way. You speak of RORO stories Stretch?.......

    Thanks Paul D. Agreed, I know the engine back to front and don't want a D2/3/4 and from what you said getting hold of interior parts to refurb the inside will be fairly good hunting. Good looking 90 btw.

    Ha! Thanks for the reply Marmaduke. Def been in the sun too long, me and Landyface are ready to get back to the cold and wet. Quote is Approx $2500 (GPB1,500) end to end. I've had a look and I'll get a TDI for that but I heard that Diesel is getting a bad name in the UK?

    Greetings, New to the forum, lovely to e-meet my fellow global cohort of Landie lovers. I am the proud Dad of Charlie, a Disco 1 V8 (97) who I rescued from near scrap yard obscurity (despite being s Series and Defender man) and have nursed back to health, well 6/10 he still chugs like an Irish...
