    Just put my beloved Disco on Ebay - does anyone have a l/h drive Disco for sale?

    Well, as of tomorrow afternoon, I shall no longer be a Disco owner! :( It sold for £3100 on Ebay, so not a bad price. When I've settled myself into my new job in Prague, i'll look for another one! Sayonara!

    Which Discovery?

    My beautiful '94 300tdi auto is for sale on Ebay (item number 200095106407), as I am moving lock, stock and barrel to the Czech Republic. Take a look, it is in superb condition and comes with a private number plate HIS TRK. If you want to make me an offer around £3500, I'll consider it.

    Just put my beloved Disco on Ebay - does anyone have a l/h drive Disco for sale?

    Thats a lot of money!! :eek: You can get a superb example for less than 3K GBP here in the UK. I expect mine to go for about that on Ebay, and mine has less than average mileage, full service history, is in superb condition AND it has an expensive private number plate!

    Just put my beloved Disco on Ebay - does anyone have a l/h drive Disco for sale?

    Thanks for that! Can you tell me what sort of prices 300tdi's go for over there, say early models, extreme lows to extreme highs? Many thanks, Tony

    ISO connector for an after-market radio?

    No, I think Landrover had a different size plug to the standard types, whether they were purchased in the UK or France. You need that harness adaptor. I would contact the seller on Ebay to see if he has one for the '96 model.

    ISO connector for an after-market radio?

    Check out Ebay item numbers 320093692590, 320095794353, plus 170095335743 for your subwoofer. The first two items are for Disco's either side of your year of model, but you can contact the seller (one and the same) as they might have the harness needed for your '96 Disco. Aha JAC, you...

    insurance - retards

    Yes, the same happened to me when I tried the on-line quote. I called them up and the quote dropped to just over £200!

    insurance - retards

    You should try Lancaster Insurance next time. They are dirt cheap, know their Landrovers and lay out the red carpet for Disco owners! :)

    Might be selling my Discovery 300 tdi

    About the availability of a LHD Disco in the UK, you'd be surprised! I can't find many, and the ones on Ebay (offered for rich ex-pats who want a summer vehicle in France/Spain/Portugal, etc) are being sold for princely sums! :eek:

    Might be selling my Discovery 300 tdi

    Well, I am soon to be moving across to the Czech Republic, and have thought long and hard about whether to take my beloved Disco with me. However, after researching some Czech websites, LR dealers are few and far between in the CR, and I hear that foriegn cars are targets for thieves, etc over...

    EGR Valve success

    Well, for 300tdi owners there isn't a problem, as most of these Disco 1 types were fitted with the blanking plate at manufacture (an EGR was only required for some overseas countries with more stringent emission laws than ours). My Disco 1 has passed the MoT without any reference to the...

    Engine noise - damper blanket?

    Anyone know whether the engine blanket in this picture is any good? Is it a standard part? I've always been interested in damping the noise, especially at low revs/speeds.

    Alternator at fault??

    That's not bad, I fixed mine by buying the dash repair kit for £38 from Devon 4x4 and had my local LR specialist fit it for another £50. :D

    Load of smoke from exhaust

    Any noticeable loss of power? If so, really does sound like the head gasket. Watch out for turbo runaway!
