black-spring 18 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 ok so here is the dilemma, i have a 98 300tdi manual, its only done 109k, the floor, chassis, inner wings are all mint, i have fitted the following disco, 300tdi manual, no crunches between 1st and 2nd, apart from a few scratches and alloy surfece corosion very good nick, - £1700 XS half leather with LR logos 7 seats - £250 5 BFG all terrains, 275 x 75 x 16 (the biggest you can fit with a 2" lift. - £500 brit part cellular dynamic 2" lift with extended bump stops - £350 front alloy stearing bash plate - £90 dif guard -£20 full service including all oils, transfer box, diffs etc,- £150 full body chequer plate kit in powder coated black fitted - £ rear carpet and sound insulation removed, to prevent boot floor corrosion, rubber mats fitted fuel pump tweaked to give some more ponies for the large dia wheels i run 2 lurchers, deerhound x and wheaten x and 2 terriers and often take a mate out too, these all fit in the disco with the 2nd row seats folded. now the real issue is most of the land i go to requires a fair drive 30 miles + and the disco is ok but if the truth be told is more 50/50 on off road vehicle, i sill required some thing to pull on and off a field, so was thinking subaru forester? or volvo xc70 the old ones? what are your thougths? and what price could i get for the disco? regards rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Nice Discovery there Rob! Fair bit of work gone into that. Best of luck with the sale. Aren't those Volvos the ones that the drive train explodes on? I was advised to stay away from the AWD ones by a lad who is a mechanic for the plod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rocket ronnie 243 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 topnotch ye way off the mark with the price mate only need to go on ebay to compare prices mate there fetching good money at the minute you could'nt buy a standard one for a 1000 damage repair are fetching that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
black-spring 18 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Your better off getting a 90 ''300TDI Deffender''i had one for years & it was a great motor And the DISCO you should get around the £1000 mark as long as the ''FLOOR HASN'T FELL IN'' All the best a disco is 100% on the road than the 90, due to the wheel base (100" against 90")and the high ratio transfer box. your right about the boot floor,, top tip go for one without sun roofs, these leak then moisture sits under insulation on the boot floor. £1000, would concider sell at £2000 but even at that it would be at a loss. all the best rob, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

claybusers al 9 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 keep the disco mate better than the others especially with the work you have done you know its a good 1 but if you want a price my mate has just sold an M reg on eblag that was a bucket of holes with no T+T for £860 so a good 1 will make good money Quote Link to post Share on other sites
