200 to 300

<< < (2/3) > >>

L90OOK:
I believe the later 200's K-L reg changed to 24spline shafts.
Usual rot on inner arches & boot floor.
Make sure it has a good service history with cambelt change.
If you fancy changing the interior I will be braking a 200 disco soon as I'm pinching the engine & g/box for my 90.  The interior is beige & even has the removable soft cubby box  :shock:

Pete:
 Had my current 200 for about eight years, with no real problems. Usual service items, and two small patches for the last MOT, inner wings.  Boot floor is soild as a rock, as are the sills and cab floor.
 Chopped the rear arches and bumper end caps a bit, to get 265s under it.  It has quite a few scratches, and a couple of small dents, but starts and runs well.
 Main thing is to keep the oils clean.
 One thing no one else has mentioned. They are the most economical Discovery on the road.
 Pete.

Not true, my old 300tdi was far better on fuel than the 3 200tdi's i have had.

The debate on the engines has been going for years, some will think one is better than the other.  At the end of the day it doesnt really matter, both of them run well and will do well into 300,000 miles if treated right (my current 200tdi has done 230,000 and is going strong).
