If you come to the pub meet on Wednesday, there will be some 300's there, can't promise any 200's (but you never know  :lol: ).

Being happy chaps and chapettes, we'd be glad to show you in and around them.

If it helps  :wink:

I'm going to say go with the 200tdi.
(not biast but its what I've got  :wink: )
The 300tdi as said do have some electrical management systems although they are a nicer motor inside. A V8 would be great but if your using as an everyday motor then cost of fuel probably wont make it practical.

Buying is the same with most green ovals.
Start at the bottom and work up - chasis etc are a major point.
I got caught on my first disco as the rear cross member was supporting a large colony of tin worm. Unlike series and defenders etc disco's arnt worth the cost to re-chasis so if its rotten avoid it.
Also have a check of inner wings and sills. Inner wings arnt to bad to replace but its all expenditure but sills can be costly.
Check the boot floor - these rot out easily and cost about £400 to replace.
Look out for damp stains on seats as this can point to leaking seals in roof/windows.

I'll have a look about and see if I can find you some more info  :wink:
