Newbie after advice

Jonsey:
Hi all,   :D

I'm new to off roading (except for a few experience days) and can't wait to get into in properly.

My question is, i'm after a V8 Discovery, i've seen a 1997 model but it's got 145k on the clock, is this anything to be worried about with a V8? I'm only going to be using the vehicle for pleasure (once kitted out!) so not racking up miles commuting.

Also i live in Macclesfield, Cheshire does anybody know good clubs ect... close to me?

Cheers,

Chris

if you get a v8, your not offroading with us lot  :lol: :lol:
get a tdi, far better  ;)

Disco Matt:
145k isn't a problem so long as the current owner has looked after it. Check for rust (sills, boot floor, rear body cross member seem to be the usual places) and obviously look for any leaks.

a v8 will deliver more torque but at the top end of the rev counter but a diesel will do you far better. also there is no way(that i know of) to fully waterproof a v8 like you can a diesel. and have you seen the mpg figures for them.....
