300 Tdi Discovery?

Recommended Posts

N reg, 180K on the clock, FSH (apparently :001_rolleyes:), 300 Tdi, 9 months MOT, 6 months Tax, chassis looks ok....from what I can see, tidy bodywork (metallic turquoise :laugh1:)

 

If you just bought this vehicle, what kind of maintenance issues may you expect to arise in the forthcoming months? Should it be binned promptly or is there life in the old beast yet?

 

thanks

Something of that vintage and mileage is entitled to be a bit slack on the bushes, ball joints and driveline but such things can all be fixed pretty cheaply.

 

How’s the chassis for rot? A bit is not the end of the world but a lot can be a killer.

 

When was the timing belt changed?

 

How are the brake discs/linings and pipes? callipers can ware and let the linings slip.

300tdi? The one in the pic is a Td5 Disco 2 which took over from the tdi. Also, it cannot be an N reg as the Td5 came out at T reg.

 

I'd check your history if I were you:001_smile:

 

Was just going to type the same thing. TD5 is post 1999 and a different kettle of fish.

The picture wasnt there when i replied

 

If it is a td5? id be cautious with one with that high a mileage. They run timing chains though so no worries on changing that.

people, that T Reg is just some random pic of a disco off google images, only posted to remind folk of what a disco looked like. Its definitley a 300 Td1. Well aware that most Landy afficionados wont touch a Td5 or that Transit derived piece of junk with a 40 ft barge pole.

 

Thanks for all the advice though.
