    watch rust on the bulk head/rear cross member if your gona be using it for towing make shure the rear cross member is good its not uncommon for the hitch to be pulled off if it's bad. the 300tdi is a basic engine no electronics to worry about as long as its well maintained its should be good and parts are genraly cheap all round.
    just dont expect it to be jap 4x4 comfy some people love them some hate them. i don't have one at the min but i'm hoping to pick up a td5 110 next year

    There like ur misses mad for the dirt track

    The subframe bushes were hanging out of the car, as were the wishbone bushes, the pick and mix of coilovers knocked like a song by guns and roses,The respray was the roughest I'd seen since Stevie Wonder Autobody closed down and the front panels had gaps as straight as turn 2 at mondello, Yeah,Straight car I'd say!

    x2 they look totally badass. fit a "2"lift and a set of mud tyres and you'll go nearly anywhere

    i had a 95 discovery. the diesel lumps are great, until you put knobbly tyres on. then they are slow and thirsty. very slow, and very thirsty.

    also, fucking everything breaks in them. seats, windows, fittings, switches, power steering pumps, rads etc etc

    looks like it could be a ex military one. make shure to give it a good one over coz if it was a army one it will have got dogs abuse. and if ya do buy it don't leave anything valuable in it coz they arnt exactly secure
