Very expensive for what it is. If it was original on a galvy chassis, the price would be somewhat more justified.

Looks like it’s had new shocks and turrets in the not too distant past.

The 2.5 petrol is a great engine when it runs well. Would it be worth sending it for a total rebuild with new gaskets throughout? The rebuild kit if I remember correctly doesn’t include everything but rather the floats, gaskets to separate the housing and jets. My hoses had also perished so...

I’m surprised JLR haven’t challenged the design…

Looking good!

I had similar issues with my 2.5 petrol, which was fitted to my series 3. It came from a 1986 90. It ran fine for several years until I had similar symptoms, which got worse, causing very poor running and stalling when idling. I rebuilt the carb with a genuine rebuild kit, which helped for a...

Worth trying a caravan forum???😁

Very nice! 😎. That would make a great rolling project, not that much needs doing. I’d be in some turouble if I bought another though!🙄. Good luck with the sale, it’s a great looking Landy.

Nothing like learning on the job, so to speak. A decent selection of tools, some workshop manuals and you tube are very useful.lots of good help and advice on here too.

Welcome back!

Hi and welcome!

Hi and welcome! Yes, they all do that… and they leak, are draughty and use more fuel than boring cars. But you smile whenever you drive one and other Landy drivers wave at you. You don’t get that in a VW, BMW or Ford etc…

Or that the earth lead has come loose and the battery is earthing through the handbrake cable?

Osram nightbreaker bulbs are a good upgrade for Defender headlights.

Hi and welcome! Tidy looking disco. Keep us updated with your upgrades.

As mentioned, a poor repair which was likely covered in underseal. The rust will also be worse than what you can see as the chassis will be rusting from the inside. There might be space to negotiate on price given the cost of repair but unless you can weld, it won’t be cheap and the rot will be...

Hi and welcome! To begin with, I wondered why a picture of some scaffolding had been posted until I scrolled down further! Nice looking disco. That’s quite a list of preventative maintenance done there too.

The BFG AT’s on my disco 1 were the best tyres I’ve had. They had excellent wear and Road holding for a Land Rover. I’ve currently got Cooper ATR’s on my 90 and they are all terrain but with a slightly more Road-biased pattern and again last well and have good road manners.

Looks very smart. Don’t worry about the non-original engine, all landies are different!

One of the rear hubs developed a slight weep. 🙄
