For Sale Spares or Repair Discovery 1 3.9 V8i 5 Door
I bought this in August last year from another SLROC member and my son and I have enjoyed using it for a few RTV and TYRO events. Unfortunately, MOT is about to run out and it will require work which I cant complete myself so its time for the Disco to move on and start searching for a new toy!
Key points:
March 1999 so one of the last Disco 1s
Body coloured bumpers(few scuffs and scratches), its metallic Rioja red and has grey leather interior on all 7 seats, fronts are electric (middle and front seats from Range Rover classic)
It is fitted with LPG - currently its under 60p a ltr which makes it slightly cheaper to run than a tdi but with about 70 more horses and a much better sound! Tanks are torpedo and mounted under both sills. Starts on unleaded and automatically switches at approx. 1800rpm. Can be switched back to unleaded anytime with dashboard switch.
De-carbon 2 inch lift kit and shocks.
Disks, bleed nipples and pads all changed within the last year (approximately 1500 miles ago)
All the bushes replaced with new polly items and used new nuts n bolts (well-greased) on everything.
Twin electric fans that kick in at different temperatures just to be safe.
Diff guards fitted front and rear.
Manual gearbox R380
Recent exhaust from catalytic converter back
Not so good points:
MOT expires on Friday 10th July 2015
Welding required both rear body mounts and drivers side sill will need attention. There is also a small hole on the chassis close to the catalytic converter which will need patched.
Brakes recently started needing an extra pump to work correctly possibly just needing bled?
Battery is not the strongest will start vehicle no problem if left for a day or two but doesnt hold a charge for much longer than that.
Bodywork has scratches and marks consistent with RTV use. Rear wing pulled in a little where the tyre has rubbed at some point.
Although it is currently set up for off-road use, I intend to keep the tubular front bumper, sump guard and black modular wheels and tyres for any future Discoverys I might run.
Will come with silver painted steel wheels fitted with matching General Grabber tyres size 235/85/16.
I am looking for £600 OVNO to allow me to put towards another Land Rover product. Discussion with other SLROC members suggests engine, gearbox and drivechain are worth about £500 alone.
On holiday but not away so viewing can be arranged almost any time. Located in Bonnybridge, Falkirk.
Photographs can be emailed and I will do my best to answer any questions you might have.
Thanks for reading,
Andrew.
