descisions... Disco Vs defender..

(1/6) > >>

Ja1983:
short and sweet, once the pickup is sold (gooing on Auto trader once i can be #prophanity#ed) i`m currently looking at 3options:

1 defender, c reg 200tdi (disco) hard life, few patches but mechanically restored, 12mths MOT, 6 moths tax, tubular front bunmper, chekkerlplate, resprayed met green (not perfect job)reg plate reads c***aos! £2000

1 defender patched chassis origonal TDi 95k, slight rust on bulkhead, otherwise looks VERY clean. P/U ifor williamsback, greenway machos235/85/16 bull bar, chassis repaired, red oxided, and waxoyled. 11mths MOT no tax £2000

or:

j reg Disco 20TDi, used for playing, hence not immaculate, tax and test til december, sills, inner wings, boot floor, arches all been repaired, possibly a few patches on next MOT stickered up with discovery owners club, but not gunna pay £22 to find out the previous owner just put the stickers on, never joined forum etc...
145K, tubular bumper, checkerplate door bottoms, dash cracked in places, 5 door, panels loose, 7 seats, electric pack, 235/85/16 AT`s on alloys, 2" procomp lift with springs & Shocks, polybushed all round, cracked alloy rear bars, correction bushes in front, £1200

disco is looking like the £ favourite, and lots of bits that would go onto a defender/newer disco in a few years time..

long term plan is a 200TDi defender, but the disco seems like a chance to get some goodies, start saving some cash.

although i could just nail myself to a defender now and grovel for some more cash (then hope and pray nothing falls off in first month or two!

inspiration please-->

Guardian.:
defender mate, at least they are worth repairing, discos, and i love to bits, just eat cash and never worth anything, the defenders dont rot quite as catastrophically as a disco, and has a good strong resale value.
my humble opinion anyhow.

extreme90:
disco...have a defender if your doing challenges nuffin else  :roll:
if i didnt compete id have a disco  :roll:
the wheel base is simply better than a 90

Disco. Slightly more comfort, namely you don't have to wind down the drivers window when you want to turn full lock :wink: Had a disco a number of years now, and have driven a 90/Defender as a 'professional driver', and they are brilliant as a work horse, but a Disco is slightly easier on you back.

Daz800:
sorry, but dont ask me.... i have a disco 2 and a 90.....
best of both worlds...lol
