warninglight Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Anyone interested in a nice 75 diesel connoisseur SE tourer in Moonstone Green? I bought this to MOT and replace my girlfriend's similar spec saloon, but she's decided she doesn't like the colour so now I CBA doing anything with it... I bought it 2 or 3 weeks ago from its original owner, it's a clean car throughout really, but has been off the road for a year or 18 months. Things it needs; Clutch (Not immediately, but it's on its way)Couple of tyres (Crown 15" alloys so nice and cheap)Battery (One with it which might respond to a smart charge but I think it's goosed)Possibly a brake pipe or two Other than that I haven't spotted anything else!165,000 ish milesNivomat self levellers in the rearNew alternator, PAS pump and belts in 2012 (bill for £950!) It has lovely green leather seats, electric, heatedPaintwork has some small areas of scratches from what I'm told was some kids trying to remove tar spots, should buff out. No dents or anything that I can see, some paint missing from the trailing edge of the driver's door.I'll fit a good grille to it when I'm backHard plastic load liner fittedRetractable load cover is there, and works2 keysSome history (including original order form and invoice)Webasto fuel burning heater (I have no idea how this works though - the saloon has a controller thing for its one but I've still never got it working) I'm thinking £600, I'm happy to stick it on the trailer and deliver after next weekend for fuel costs. Open to offers, of course... I just realised how shit my photos of it are, I will of course take some better ones when I'm back at the weekend.

Have you not maybe considered keeping the Rover and moving the girlfriend on? Twiggy, HillmanImp, Essex V6 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warninglight Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 I tell a lie, she now tells me her main reason for not wanting it is because it doesn't have an electric rear sun blind like her saloon. I can't argue with that, really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave21478 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Re the Webasto heater....unless you override with the controller, it will only light when you start up and the outside temp is below 4 degrees or so. You can fool it by shorting out the wiring to the outside temp sensor which is...well, I dont know where it is on a rover. On a freelander its behind the lower grill in the front bumper. If it has failed to light three times, it shuts down and needs reset which you do by pulling and replacing the relevant fuse.As it lights, you should hear its fan whirring and a rhythmic clicking from its doser pump. If it constantly fails to light, its probably fucked. There are repair manuals online if you are motivated. The first time it lights after a long period of inactivity its likely to kick out a huge plume of grey smoke and maybe make screeching, howling noises from its wee exhaust. Thats normal-ish and will clear itself out in a few minutes.Brilliant things when they are working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warninglight Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 The saloon has a gizmo that you can apparently pop a SIM in and text it to wake it up from your bed on a cold morning. Never figured out how to use it though. Would be tempted to fit one to the Disco as it's the winter vehicle, no point doing it the default way though as it warms up about a bajillion times faster than a 75 diesel...

purplebargeken Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I'd murder for a tourer version but I have the V6 2.5 Connie SE petrol version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
