  1. Hi it is not a commercial one, it is a 3 door 7 seater model with all the windows etc in the right place.
  2. Hi, the Discovery I just bought is a 1995 300 TDi 3 door and it has special vehicles on the back door and also a vin type plate under the bonnet saying special vehicles etc. I have owned 3 Disco's and never seen or heard of this before. Does anyone know the difference if any?
  3. I have looked into taking the E test but it seems expensive for what it is and if I fail it there will be more costs to add retaking it etc. It is all a bit complicated really, someone has suggested getting the Disco downrated, I need the gross weight to be no more than 2250kg as my caravan is 1250kg GVW or MAM. I have an Audi A4 TDi which I towed it with for a whole 60 miles before it killed it, I am now waiting for the Audi to get fixed, lol. I have also just looked a the log book for the Disco and it says REVENUE WEIGHT 3500kg...??? I would like to be able to keep the Disco if I could but if the only way around is by taking my cat E test then I may just have to sell the Disco and by a 2.5 vectra or omega etc and hope that can do the job.
  4. Thanks, looks like I will be selling my Disco then as the caravan MAM is 1250kg
  5. I have a 1995 Disco 300 TDI 3 Door and I am trying to find out the unladen weight and also the gross weight also known as MAM? Reason I am asking is I am wanting to tow a caravan but due to the fact I passed my test after 1997 I am only allowed a combined weight of 3500kg and my log book nor the vin plate have any weight details on them. Thanks in advance.
  6. Ok cheers guys thanks for the info, I will scrap that idea. Stick with the V8 i think
  7. I have done it already. Not even taken delivery of my first RR yet and just bought another excat same 1989 on a G 3.5EFI Auto for a little project and to learn. Question how hard is it to fit a 200TDI engine into it? I would like to keep the auto box if possible. Is there anyone local to Blackpool who could fit it for me but allow me to get my hands dirty and learn at the same time? I am also thinking about either bobtailing it or a pick up type not too sure yet. Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks
  8. Hi Les, Typical, i will just have to keep looking until one eventually pops up that is local enough for me to collect. Andy
  9. Hopefully it wont come to that, lol. Just have to see how things go with it at the MOT test. I will have a good look around it and do anything I can before it goes for the test. I will post some good pics on wednesday when I get it. Any ideas where I can get a roof lining from?
  10. I will just have to keep looking for some that do fit, or stop been a tight guy and buy some new ones. Thanks
  11. I try not to buy too much off ebay because hardly anything is as described and they always have mates bidding it up so it kills it really. The seller is delivering it to me on the 25th and I have it booked in for a test on 30th just so it gives me a few weeks to try re mot it before the current one expires. At the end of the day if it fails too badly I will either break it for spares or make an offroader from it and buy another road going one. Just have to wait and see. Andy
  12. I didnt think I had done that bad cosidering I have seen some on ebay that have been stood for numerous years with no tax or test going for around £300. Just hope the MOT doesnt cost me twice as much as the car lol
  13. I got it for what I think is cheap but you lot could say differently. I have paid £385 for it. MOT and TAX expire end of July, 120k on the clock.
  14. Hi, Will Koni shock absorbers from an air suspension LSE model fit a non LSE 1989 3.5 efi model? If yes does anyone have any experience of using them on there RR and does it make any real difference to the handling? Thanks
