Looking through the small of history i got with it was a receipt for a bottom end rebuild and it did say on the report that there was heavy wear. I'm not going to waste any time on that engine as it's scrap.
TBH i wasn't p'd off so much but disappointed because i thought i got a right bargain.
Afraid not, although it is an "A" suffix and it was first registered in Feb 1973 so it requires road tax.
You guys have read my mind, i will be on the look out shortly for a 5 bearing 2.25 petrol engine and i will probably go a LPG kit in the near future.
But before the LPG i will need to buy some new wheels and tyres as these Disco rims are not even fitted with longer studs....the thread doesn't even make it to the end of the nut !!!
