Les Henson Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 2.5 N/A in a Disco would just be so wrong - damned funny though. I doubt the engine is 'new' - £1400 is teensy bit cheap if it was. Looks quite tidy from the pictures though. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les. when i went down i just had a quick look to be hounest normal stuff chassis etc but didnt get a chance to look at the engine kids playing up it looks worth the asking price even if i do have to drop the lump and put a new one in i know some where i may be able to get a good 300tdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definatly wouldn't get it if it has a N/A engine in it, it aint that cheap. if you dont mind doing a bit of work then i'd keep looking as there are some real bargains about, I got a 1996 300tdi with a rebuilt turner engine in it for £600, just needed inner wings welding up. I nearly bought a 1998 V8 last month needing a bumper for £400. My mate got a 200tdi needing a boot floor for £400, see here http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=34805 There's a 2door 200tdi down the road needing a boot floor up for £500, PM me if your interested as it's only 20mins from colchester.

sotal Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 fuel gage stuck on empty after i filled it up Normally the sender - simple to do, lift up carpet in boot, remove access panel unscrew large plastic cap type bit (might need a tap with a screwdriver and hammer), withdraw. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
