Pike:
Hi all,this is my 1st time on mudclub(im usually on difflock) I dont know what to do, ive got a 200tdi Disco,a 1989,its good offroad and reasonably economical,it sometimes gets a pasting offroad.BUT what did landrover in 1989 make them out of?sticky back plastic and bog roll tubes?ive forgotten how many times ive glued the interior back together!!!!!...no wonder Rover have gone bust if this is how they put cars together.So...im thinking of chopping it in and getting a 4.0 jeep cherokee they look much better built AND theyve got that 4 litre motor!!!!......before anyone says"why dont you get a RRC".....sorry but if early discos have owt to go by I dont want a RRC.Have I opened a can of worms?....what do you all think?.........and try not to be too bias...........cheers

Dangermouse:

XJ Cherokees rot like hell.  When mine died it had a noisy back diff, rot across the roof by the gutters, rot accross the tailgate by the hinges and b****y huge holes in the floor! It also pee'd hypoid from every orrofice and everytime one leak was cured it sprang another.  Parts prices are insane and spurious bits take some finding and our local dealer was c**p. No chassis on the Jeep either, If i backed mine onto my Bro's drive the body twisted to the point where you couldn't close the tailgate properly.  The back seat is uncomfortable aswell, everybody moaned about riding in the back. The engine is wonderfull though, I loved mine, 12mpg and i didn't care (I do miss that POWER button on the dash).  The rots just more obvious on a Disco.

DM!
You get worse. I can't see for tears rolling down my face.

Got for the Jeep's my vote.

i've had my disco for about 18 mounths now and its done all i need it to do
having said that i am now putting her (daisy :roll: ) up for sale
not for any bad reason but last time we went greenlaning i scratched her quite bad, and she worth to much money to do that to, i've replaced her with a nissan patrol 4.2 diesel that i found on e-bay, for quite cheap needed a bit of work ( nearly done  :D ) and its a monster off road.
the disco is half way between a rangie and a defender and a good comprimise i think for the money, but each to there own!
if i scratch my nissan i just get the paint brush out again :D
