FOR SALE: Disco 1 300tdi Safari
« on: April 03, 2013, 10:17:44 PM »
1998 (S) silver Disco 1 300tdi Safari. £2,300
North Edinburgh

116k miles;  FSH;   MOT Nov 13;   VED Sep 13;

A/C, Double sun-roofs, Dual electrics Tow-bar, Heated front windscreen, Radio/cassette/Phillips 6cd player, Fogs, 2 x Spotlights on A bar, side step rails, rear door step and ladder, headlamp protectors, those plastic-things-that-go-above-the-front-seat-windows-to-keep-the-rain-out, spare wheel mounted bike carrier

3 x Colway E-Trax AT 235/70 R16
2 x Insa Turbo Ranger 235/70 R16 - all with plenty of tread

I bought the Disco in December 2006 and have only done SLROC Green Road Runs and Driving Days - oh and 1 Tyro (it was enough !  :o)

The Safari version was one of the last of the D1s and came with various extras as standard, like the roof ladder and side step rails and fancy wee badges in front of the front doors !  ::)


Naturally, being a Disco, all is not perfect !  I'll give a summary of what I know is not quite right ...
- picture the scene: SLROC Driving Day, track has a steep drop-off on the driver's side, so it seemed wise to keep over to the other side ... where there was a nice big boulder  :o.  Result: bent NS sidestep rail but NO damage to the sill  :)
- NS rear door doesn't always lock/unlock with the remote fob
- rear door usually does  ;) Sorted
- radio has a mind of its own - remove the fuse to turn off
- cd player has never played for me  :(
- rear sunroof leaked, so I removed the headlining and it's fixed ... most of the time ....  :-\
- battery doesn't like cold weather much New battery now !
- fogs got a bit wet ...  ::)
- spots are temperamental

I'm short of the mojo to sort these mainly minor irritations, so I'll give a discount on the asking price.  8)

£ 2,000 only
I've got some pics which should be here http://www.flickr.com/photos/76743737@N05/?savedsettings=7632454932#photo7632454932
Please PM interest and I'll give a phone number.
Thanks
