Recommended Posts

3dr 300 tdi manual Discovery.

 

7 months mot. not rotten, transfer box a bit whiney, front calipers pants. dents etc for free.

 

pics to follow.

 

£700 AS price (had to buy a 5dr for kids etc...)

 

Has had gearbox replaced for one with less noise/more actual selection of gears.

Had replacement mechanical lift pump.

Got special vehicle stickers. Afaik it's not.

I'm 3rd owner iirc - 1st two were (late) husband and wife.

Some crusty bits - one inner wing would like a tickle (one replaced). Boot floor present.

Rear door hinges drop a bit.

Rear windows do not/have not leaked.

Scorpion alarm fiited (with remote cdl)

All windows/doors/wipers/electric door mirrors function.

 

High/low/difflock working/not seized.

2 new-ish tyres on rear. Standard rimz innit.

 

 

Some battle scars-nothing major.

 

Needs front calipers sorting (4 pot calipers, 2 seized each side, nice and symmetrical) - it does stop still, just not as quick as it should do.

May try and do something this week - or not - Mrs red5 heavily pregnant/imminent.

 

Feel free to ask any questions etc. or people what have bought/talked/sold/drank tea with etc etc. I'm mostly approachable. Just don't mention the Villaâ„¢

More pictures available when floor isn't fecking frozen.

 

Full tank of fuel. Yay.

 

 

Bewdley - in Worcestershire. Not far from S'port and Kipperminster  :-)

As others have noted - close to m/ways/trains etc. Also I work in Worcester which is also possible collection point.

Defo interested in pics.

What are these like to live with? I'm looking for something reliable enough to take me to the airport, but not too nice that I don't want to leave in the car park. Something which is over 20 years old would be good too - how old is this?

3 doors were available right up until the Disco2 came along and are the favoured version of fat bastards everywhere- the door's bigger and the drivers seat goes back an extra couple of inches. When I finally get my act together and make some space, a late 300 V8 ( an oxymoron ,I know but what else can you call them?) 2 door XS will be on my shopping list.

Quite the opposite -the doors are the same size on 3 and 5dr models. Which makes getting in the back a little awkward on the 3drs.

What's the Land Rover TDi like on veg with minimal/no modifications? I know someone who converted his Discovery to a twin tank setup and it was endless trouble, but I think it was the conversion more than running on veg.

 

Boschtastic. I've run mine on 100% new veg oil before, although I usually fill with diesel.

These are great to live with as a daily. I've had 3 so far, 2 of which were 3 dr models and I love 'em. Nice road manners, easy to drive, good tow vehicle / load lugger, almost as good off road as a Defender but a shed load more comfortable and if you have a little fiddle with them (tweak the turbo, de-cat, de-egr etc) they are actually reasonably quick for 2 tonnes of Solihulls finest.

 

If I hadn't just bought a V8 RRC I'd be all over this, I'd been looking for another 3 dr for a while but then the Rangie cropped up, for that reason I'm ooot.
