steve_a Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Well, on the trip back from Malvern my £500 discovery 200tdi 1991 passed the 200,000 mile mark, I have done about 6 to 7 thousand of them in the last 4 months and the thing has been outstanding. Repair bill so far has been: 1 clutch bearing (old one shagged and whining when i bought it) new slave and master clutch, though not needed, the clutch had seized onto the flywheel while I had it open doing the bearing - just took a good rag around the block to sort in the end 1 brake pressure reducing valve which was leaking 1 service 1 new rear wiper Jobs to do: Pre-Mot before Feb - will fail on sills, rear floor maybe and possibly inner wings Another service Cam belt (probably be going to the Les since I pass through Swindon) Change (actually, probably just fill) gearbox oils and others Optional extras if it passes though Mot with little fuss: New stereo and speakers new seats (drivers is v scruffy) goddam rear load cover finally fog lamps and some brighter headlamp bulbs Great car - when this dies think I'll buy another disco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 £500 disco's are excellent aren't they :D Mine had already failed the MoT on Sills, but the boot floor isn't MoT'able (as it isn't structural. Still I replaced both sills and boot floor and one inner wing. Check your rear body crossmember and mounting points too... Still, superb value if you can find them!

Orgasmic Farmer Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 My £500 Disco is in for the MOT this week. I bought it as a failure of a mate. List of things as long as your arm but nothing major. Worst was leaking steering box. £50 for a good one off a scrapper! Sills fine, donw the boot floor and one inner wing. and a miriad of little jobs so should be fit to go. Fingers crossed. Oh and she has been resprayed a couple of years back and my mate had a slight bump on the front so new bumper and headlamps so looks real tidy for age. Best bit is my current Disco which will form the basis of a 100" project will be donating all those little bits that seem to break or wear out on the interior.
