Bought me a landrover... - Matt-Rallye - 08-03-2016
Been after one for ages and happened upon this for such a bargain price with 12 months MOT and a 200TDi conversion that i couldn't afford to turn it down!

Amazingly its actually solid! and a 3 door suits my needs
over the moon with how it drives, just need to sort the brakes, diff lock and sagging suspension (it was originally a 2.0L petrol MPi and i believe its still on the MPi springs up front!)

Like actually solid as in no rust or Actually solid for a Land Rover?
RE: Bought me a landrover... - mr_fish - 08-03-2016
never actually took notice of a 3 door disco before.
looks smart
RE: Bought me a landrover... - hotrodjacko - 08-03-2016
Love a Disco, make for a good cheap greenlaner!
Landies are a terrible habit; I've got 2, old man has one, had a couple previous (one that I did a resto of a few years ago).
How much did you pick it up for?

As in the entire boot floor has been replaced with 2mm plate and the chassis is sound

So 'actually solid' for a Land Rover then.

good motors! I wouldn't mind one, what are your plans for it?
RE: Bought me a landrover... - daniel909 - 08-03-2016
i used to like landys til mine spat a rod
RE: Bought me a landrover... - Eeyore - 09-03-2016
What... Where did you find that for 600! I'm vaguely looking for one and never find ones cheaper than a few grand.

I bought it from one of my best chums who did me a rather good deal on it admittedly but he replaced it with another one for the exact same money so they are definitely out there!
Best places to look is outside the regular ebay & autotrader routes and try the lesser pages like gumtree and you may stumble on a bargain

Something like that would suit your needs actually and its a 300tdi with 12 months MOT
RE: Bought me a landrover... - welshpug - 09-03-2016
there's lots of cheap discos about, I think I'd prefer one to a Defender tbh, mechanically so similar, identical in some respects, but you don't smash your elbow on the door trying to steer!
trickier to repair as all the panels have curves instead of just sheet steel defenders :p

This!
Such a trait of a defender.

RE: Bought me a landrover... - Chris306 - 10-03-2016
Nowt wrong with a bruised elbow from a fender

Found a 2" lift kit for it in the shed so i'll get that fitted over the coming weeks and then hopefully she wont look so slammed on the knobbly tyres

Bargain
my 306 reg number is fairly close to your disco although it is an 'R' reg !
RE: Bought me a landrover... - silverzx - 15-03-2016
Sounds very cheap? Though I know nothing on pricing for these..
RE: Bought me a landrover... - welshpug - 15-03-2016
sounds quite reasonable tbh, you can pick up TD5's for less than a grand. much more to go wrong on them though.

It was very cheap with 12months MOT especially

I have never seen a TD5 sell for under a grand. People are still asking £600 for discos like mine being advertised as 'spares or repairs'
RE: Bought me a landrover... - welshpug - 15-03-2016
they are out there, but tbh I wouldn't touch them
RE: Bought me a landrover... - Rippthrough - 15-03-2016
It doesn't have a 'one life, live it' sticker, that drops half the normal landy buyers out of the market and makes it cheaper.

It wont be having one either
RE: Bought me a landrover... - toseland - 15-03-2016
"one life...f*ck" like my mates haha
RE: Bought me a landrover... - puglove - 16-03-2016
You done very well there , rot boxes with no T&T that have been sat in a field for 3 years go for more than that. All you have to do is spend what you paid for it in tyres now lol

Well i had a productive weekend on the 'rover!
replaced rad pipe that was weeping, sorted out some electrical gremlins and wired me a nice big lamp on the back which i spliced into the rear fog to have on an oem switch on the dash
Also found (now need to save for)
Front HD winch bumper
Snorkel
265 insa turbos (will require arch cutting though)
get the lift kit fitted
She should be a decent enough laning machine then
RE: Bought me a landrover... - C2K - 22-03-2016
Frankly a 306 could've done the 'lanes' you posted above!
