Going to look at a 90

<< < (5/5)

V8, mmm lovely.  I used to own a gas guzzling Jeep and i loved it but it got as it was limiting how far afield i travelled and i didn't like that.  14miles to a gallon is a bummer when you want to go to a show or summat.  My Dad has a Disco and it is his second and as long as you know what to look for (slack in tranny, rot just about everywhere....) they are great, really comfy and loads of room.

Leigh:
I'll make sure I take a good look at it first.

Slack in tranny?

Cheers

Yes the LT77 gearbox as fitted to the 200 series disco is rubbish and by now a lot of them have extreme backlash.  Make sure you have a test drive with you driving so you can check.  The r380 as fitted to the 300 series is better but still be wary.  The ZF auto box is very good.
