Title: Land Rover Discovery 300TDI ES Auto N reg for sale ?400
Post by: tony rae on May 07, 2011, 08:22:39 PM
Land Rover Discovery 300TDI ES Auto N reg for sale
120k miles

I am looking for ?400

Loads of phots here:

http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/4870859/1/Disco?h=b40f4d (http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/4870859/1/Disco?h=b40f4d)

Good points
6 months tax (That's worth about ?100 alone!)
2" Lift springs & gas shocks
Scorpion Racing removable towbar
Front steering guard
Engine and transmission are fine
New battery (Bought Jan/ Feb) (?100)
New glow plugs (Not fitted yet)
New fuel filter (Not fitted yet)
Heater works (Perfect for summer)
Fairly decent set of Amazon directional diamonds (5)
Leather interior (Not ripped)
2 keys that work
Currently MOT'd

Bad Points
Loads really
Probably wont pass the next MOT
It's not really safe to drive at the moment
There is a fairly big "mechanical" noise periodically coming from the back
The handling is a little vague
The service history has all been written in pen with very similar handwriting
It's pretty rotten really
It looks like a bit of a shed
The brakes are very soft (I think there must be a leak somewhere)
It leaks like sieve
It leaves big oily marks wherever you park it
Sunroofs don't really open - just there to let the rain in
It's had a few meetings with objects which won
Only the front windows work
Most of the carpets have been removed as they were just retaining the water that finds it's way in
I threw the air conditioning pump in the bin in the hope of gaining 1bhp
The electric seats are a bit temperamental
The locks don't open enough and you sometimes have to use the key rather than the blipper
Some of the doors are a bit tough to open
The back door only opens from the inside
The cruise is knackered
The immobiliser is now a switch on the dash
The stereo has a CD stuck in it (That it won't play) and only works if you go over bumps
The aerial fell off after a meeting with a tree
I let Johnnie Drysdale drive it (More than once)

Whilst it is currently taxed and MOT'd, I wouldn't personally suggest driving it home - maybe best to trailer it...

Dave,

I am looking at selling as a whole as I don't have the space or time to break the vehicle myself. Thanks for the interest though.

There are a few fluid leaks, but no fuel ones that I know of.

I forgot to add that i've just taxed it for 6 months too so you could sell that back! Surely a bit of a bargin for someone...

The beast is still for sale if anyone is interested.

The MOT expires on 08/07/11 and the tax expires on 30/10/11.

I forgot to add that I am happy for the original 5 spoke ES alloys that came with it to be includeded in the sale. They have road tyres on them albeit with fairly little tread left.
