Devil_bri Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Advice please 1995 diesel disco 160000 miles. Good condition Seller wants £1000 is it worth it ? What faults should I be looking for ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Yes, I ran an older 200 model from new to 274.000 miles, sold it 5 years ago and its still running round here now. The engine in that is the 300, I have had 200 and TD5 engines, both needed a recon set of fuel injectors at about 180,000 miles. My TD5 set came off a scrapper. My current TD5 now has about 225,000 on the clock. Sunchro on 2nd gear is always a worry on Discos, mine are all autos, a far better option. Not aware of any specific problems other than that, it will do about 26 mpg of you treat it well and it will always be worth what you paid for it and that is cheap motoring.

paddywack12 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Has it got an MOT with it? Any discovery with a years mot is worth a grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Look for rot - boot floor, sills, where the door pillar meets the chassis and on the front inner wings. Look for leaks, try to judge how bad they are and if you can live with them. But as said, if it has a years MOT on it I'd snap it up!

Matty7247 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Buy it, 300tdi engines are very good. Parts are easy to come across also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbiter Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 ive got a 97 disco 300tdi,it needed a fair bit doing when i bought it,normal wear and tear things like bushes and the like,needed a good service too,156,000 miles and it runs like a dream,just done another oil change 10 mins ago actually,used to hate it when i first bought it(had a swb pajero before this)now i love it,compared to the pajero,fuel economy is great,im getting around 27mpg around the doors,thats with a set of insa turbo saharas on it,look after them and theyre worth the money that theyre selling for IMO...
