Then you get days like today where you drive past a Disco just like that with one corner of the suspension collapsed. ? DSdriver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Fever Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/202004068869546 Are these any good with the 2.0 petrol? This one had an impressive fail and advisory list last time around; Repair immediately (major defects): Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (8.2.1.2 (h)) Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 () Battery insecure and likely to cause a short circuit (4.13 (a) (ii)) Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f)) Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories): Central Stop lamp(s) non-obligatory stop lamp not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii)) Nearside Headlamp has a product on the lens but not seriously reducing light output (4.1.4 () Offside Headlamp has a product on the lens but not seriously reducing light output (4.1.4 () Nearside Front Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii)) Offside Front Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii)) Nearside Rear Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii)) Offside Rear Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii)) undertrays fitted obscuring some underside components nearside rear tyre mis-shaped/feathering offside rear tyre mis-shaped/feathering Nearside Rear Vehicle structure is corroded but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced (6.1.1 © (i)) Offside Rear Vehicle structure is corroded but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced (6.1.1 © (i)) Rear Anti-roll bar corroded but not seriously weakened (5.3.3 ( (i)) Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge (5.2.3 (e)) Offside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge (5.2.3 (e)) I had one of these, same year and spec and it was rather nice. Very Honda; competent yet anonymous. I always suspected that the 2.4 drivers were having a better time though. Fail sheet on that isn’t necessary awful but it does suggest some chronic underinvestment in the car of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rust can be a big issue, as can engines. The state of the paintwork too and there’s a lot of it to paint.

The seller was a sound chap when I last met him (over 20 years ago!), so I assume still is. Wrong front panel/grille for a Mk1, but more than compensated for by this...

wuvvum Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 That ADO16 does look like it'd be a lot of fun. I thoroughly enjoyed driving the two I had, and those were both boggo single carb models. Not badly priced either if it is as solid as he says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
