sanibel686 Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I bought this discovery in Easter 2015 as a long term car but for reasons I won’t bore you with we are going down to one economical family runabout so here it is up for sale. 1999 Discovery TD5 5 seater in outstanding condition having done only 85k. It has been professionally converted from air bags to rear springs and freshly serviced with synthetic oil and all new filters when I bought it. It also comes with a good kenwood CD/Radio If you know the discovery 2s you’ll also know that most look nice and shiny on top but it’s what lurks underneath that sorts the wheat from the chaff. It had been regularly waxoyled and I also waxoyled it last summer. This is a good one, that’s why I bought it! It has done just over 1500 miles on 4 new tyres and the spare also has at least 7mm on it. I’ve completely removed refurbished and properly resealed the sunroofs, proper operation and no leaks. I’ve also recently had fitted; New genuine LR “i n tank” fuel pump Complete new steel and rubber power steering pipe kit New front wheelbearing and speed sensor to cure a “three amigos” issue New steering knuckle joints and a complete drag link kit. The steering is now as tight as a nuns thingy and there is absolutely no wander. I have receipts for all work done. I’m keeping the dog box but it will come with it's mint modesty panel. It’s MOTd until the end of May but I’ll happily have it MOTd for the cost of the MOT at £45 if the buyer wishes. Offers close to £3495 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Looks excellent for the mileage and the price. I don't think you will have it long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozalid Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I bought one for my wife, she had it for five years of faultless driving, she actually cried when I sold it, she cried even more when she saw the Honda Civic I had replaced it with...

sanibel686 Posted May 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Would also consider a trade with a small economical diesel estate big enough for two pointers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanibel686 Posted May 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Hi guys, quick update, it now has a fresh MOT and as it was an early MOT it is tested to 29/5/17. It did pick up an advisory for corrosion on the offside rear chassis leg next to the tank and although it's only an advisory I've booked it in to get this taken care of next Tuesday.

Gordon R Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I am genuinely astonished that this has not been sold. I have passed the link on to a few friends - you are just a bit too far out for them. I cannot understand why they won't travel - 150 miles - for the right vehicle - it's nothing.

So am I gordon just look at a properly comparable vehicle on autotrader, you're talking £4k-£5k+ If anyone is interested from further afield I'll happily meet them half way but that's to buy it not just to kick tyres.
