Discovery 2 - Inspection this weekend - North Beds? Help.
Discussion
Have you done your reading on what to look for on TD5 D2s?
Basic things to look for?
Rust on the chassis (Rear sections are prone to go along with the dumb irons)
Service history (Has it every had a clutch changed?)
Anything in the history about injector loom being replaced?
Anything in the history for the the fuel pumps? (I think there is one in the tank and the main engine unit)
Any sign of water ingress in the car (They leak)
Any warning lights on the dash?
I'd want a 12 month ticket on it.
Has it got any modifications? (Not a bad thing if it has a map)
Check the consumables, as tyres are expensive on these beasts. Disc and pads are quite cheap though .
Worth having a read of the discoveryhell web page if you want some sleepless nights
It comes high on a google search of 'discovery problems'
Best of luck?
