Well I saw another d2 today. This time a little older 1999! it had a new headliner, everything worked including the sunroofs for which the guy had replaced the motors and seals so no leaks. again driver’s floor was wet. No obvious reason. the owner had sadly had the engine bay cleaned so...

Do you know what might be the likely candidate for the wet floor wells and floor?

Sorry. For some reason pictures aren’t coming through. Scabby rear chassis. not sure he will wear 1500 but also I am not sure I really want to unpick all the issues which may or may not be there.

The chassis.

On a further viewing it seems that my head might have to rule this one. On driving it sounded like there was water sloshing about in the front of the car but I think this could be the heating matrix? Also the floors, footwells and boot floor were quite damp (roof all seems dry though?) the...

more support! Love it. Very keen to see it again and join the club hopefully.

Yes. Does seem to skew the pricing a bit. Have seen them for less than for a lot more. Will let you know!

Thanks! Good to note.

I will also not miss the nervousness in the supermarket car parks!

The repairable nature is what is drawing me to them. I have surprised myself so far with my 90 as to what I can do so should be fun. Will just be little daunting at first as I won’t have the brand new alternative on my drive in an emergency. But I won’t miss the monthly payments! speed is...

Interestingly someone has fitted a sports exhaust to this and the seller says might have been remapped at some point. I am going to go and have another viewing tomorrow or Saturday and look more throughly and ask a few more questions. Also satnav unit doesn’t work in roof. Not fussed but...

Interesting. I would happily forego the electronics. I think I will have to keep looking although it was good to try one. Will probably try a manual to see difference. I have driven old manuals but never old automatics which I think is half problem.

Yes it was a surprise even coming from my manual 200tdi in my 90. I pull away from junctions a lot better than in the d2 although I appreciate there is probably a weight difference. The d2 definitely felt big and heavy.

No didn’t work it that hard as tried to be respectful. Also the fuel warning light was on so not knowing how they perform in fuel I didn’t want to run out completely.

Yes the mot history showed a few lights and mainly steering joint wear and brakes which I would expect albeit not to fail if you carried out a service beforehand. you are right, there was certainly revving.

I get the feeling they are going up. I feel something 4500-5000 would be reasonable especially as I seen similar ones with dealers at this but I am wary of non LR dealers selling LR as they can’t tell you anything about them. yes they can be repair which is the draw. They just seem a bit of a...

I cover about 5k miles per year and I’m looking for a vehicle I can use a few times a week for local journeys and that I’m not scared to chuck the dogs in. I already have an old 90 which I love so I wondered about adding to lineup with something with a few more (or at least one!!) comforts...

well I test drove it. Very good driving position and very comfortable but it’s clearly been used as a family slip for a while. Needs new headlining as sunroof has leaked. Currently sealed shut and unused. I know this is a common fault. head gasket replaced and reconditioned head. Seems to...

Although that being said. I am going to see the discovery 2 tomorrow just to satisfy my curiosity! Asking price though is far too high imho.

thanks. Agreed! I will definitely leave my 90 at home!
