Going to have a look at it in the week. Just had some more info on it, 140,000 miles, manual, 5 door, tax & mot till 31/1/2011, 1 sunroof (so only one to leak), present owner has had it for 12 months & reckons it only needed welding on the inner wings for it"s last mot. Only reason he"s selling...

I have been offered a 94 L reg Disco & just wondering would this be a 200tdi or 300tdi ? I have not seen the vehicle yet but have been told that it is tax"d & mot"d till Jan 2011 & the seller wants £500. I scrapped my P reg 300tdi the end of last year due to the work it needed to pass it"s MOT &...

Thanks for all the help guys. I am going to join the RAC today (£72) then get the Disco recovered next week. I"ll drive her a few hundred yards off the caravan site then ring them up & tell them the brakes have failed ! Next step will be the dreaded MOT & find out exactly how much (if any) she...

Green flag want £84 so it"s either AA or RAC. headlight

Right I can get AA cover for £78 & RAC for £72 both of which will bring my Disco home, any reccomendations on which is the better company to go with, or dosen"t it matter ? The plan is get her back to my house & drive her round to the local garage about 3/4 of a mile in low box & see what she...

Thanks for the advice Sirius. Will now look for the cheapest breakdown cover that will bring the vehicle back to my home address. headlight

Yes AA or Rac. Didn"t think of that. Join up & a couple of days later ring them & tell them my brakes have packed in:rolleyes:. Thanks for the idea guys. headlight

Unfortunately the nearest garage that does repairs is 20 miles away & the lanes to it are very very hilly otherwise I would do that. I have thought about hiring a trailer but don"t think my Fiesta would tow a trailer with the Disco on. headlight

Believe or not she"s not a shed. Bodywork & interior are good everything works fine, hi-lo, dif-lok, no clunks, no smoke, the engine is really good. She"s been in the sea half way up the wheels no deeper & thoroughly washed after. There dosen"t seem to be any noticeable rust on the chassis or...

That"s what I"m leanining towards. Sell as is & buyer collects from caravan site. Any idea what she is worth as she is ? headlight

I tried Shiply a few weeks ago but have not had a quote. They work on making up a load & having deliveries/collections in the area where the vehicle is. Unfortunately mine is 20 miles from the nearest town down country lanes & some single lane track. The chances of a lorry having a collection or...

£296 plus VAT so about £340. Then I"d have to sort the brakes, possibly another £200 if it needs 3 new calipers. So that"s £540 to take it to fail an mot plus whatever it"s going to cost to get through the mot. Other than the brakes mechanically & electrically everything seems ok & it is a much...

I have a 96 P reg 300tdi. I bought her in Dec 07 for £2,000 with 11 months mot, 106,000 miles on the clock & she had just had a top end rebuild . She has lived on my caravan site since doing an 800 yard tow to launch my boat about 20 times. Other than that the only mileage she has done was to a...

Right I went back to my caravan this afternoon & took a mate with me. I started the Disco & got him to pump the brake pedal whilst i looked in the reservoir. Didn"t see any bubbles but every time he pressed the pedal a jet of fluid spurted out of the resovoir ! I take it this shouldn"t happen &...

I went to my caravan today to start my p reg 300tdi for the first time since last September ! I took a fully charged battery with me as I had taken it off when I parked her up. Fitted the battery & to my joy she started first turn of the key. Idled nicely no smoke & no funny noises ! Tried the...

No problem mate. If you"re thinking about a TD5 this is the place to ask questions. One word of warning - don"t mention Jap motors:eek: If you could live with a slightly older motor the 300 TDI like mine has a lot lot less to go wrong with it ! headlight

Hi Barry, welcome to the site. Be prepared for some straight talking answers from guys who know the score regarding everything Disco. headlight

Sorry no

Vehicle is a 96 300tdi disco 1. Cigarette lighter socket is dead 2. No backlights to the heater controls 3. Rear wiper dosen"t work ( washer is fine ) I have plugged phone charger & sat nav into the socket but got no power. I have checked all fuses & all appear fine. Backlights to the speedo...

Fitted EGR blanking plate to my 96 300tdi manual ( 100,000 miles on clock)this morning then went on a 280 mile trip.Engine definitely seems smoother,more responsive, & seems to pick up the revs quicker. Drive was mix of roads.Used 36 litres of fuel so if my maths is correct it would appear that...
