Nice new disco for me. Advice please

(1/2) > >>

lyndon:
I have just had permission from she who must be obeyed to purchase a new (to me) Disco. My budget is £10,000. But i'd rather spend half that if possible.

So what should I expect to get for that money and what should I be looking out for ie problems areas?

Cheers

Lyndon

wotcha matey,
with a budget of 5K you get get something quite decent. What are you going to be using it for?
Check things like the load area floor and sills if you can. How often has it been off road, has it ever had diff lock engaged, play in prop shafts gearboxes etc.
Personally, I like the basic TDi engines. Easy to maintain and not much electrical gubbins to go wrong.
I don't know where Tadley is, but if you want an extra pair of hands to poke, prod and yank about any perspective purchase, give me a PM.

lyndon:
Thanks mate. Tadley is near Basingstoke. I will be using it for commute to work and fishing, so mostly off road in winter around wet muddy lake banks and sumberged flooded farm tracks

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
Hmm, wading gear, snorkel and floatation bags needed then! Not a problem.
Diesel or petrol?
