Thread: Disco Ultimatum.

I have a weekend planned with the boys this weekend. Camping and hitting the tracks. Usual stuff.
They all own Toyotas and Datsuns.

If my Disco lets me down she is gone and my days of LR are likely over.
Harsh words i know but i have spend loads and loads of cash on this old girl. Years of relentless work really. But recently spend even more with replacing engine blah blah.
Last couple of days she let me down when taking the kids to school and that really ticked me off.

She is running good now largely apart from a over fueling problem i cant seem to work out. Come to the conclusion its just the reality of these engines.
Had some starting problems recently but fixed those today.

If she lets me down i am going to sell her. Or burn her in the bush depending on what and where.

I have loved this car for years despite it leaking everywhere no matter how many times i changed gaskets and seals. Braking diffs and donuts regularly. Electrical gremlins i can never seem to find. Fuel consumption that just defies logic. I still look for leaking fuel But she runs good. Well not rich like i would expect from a car that eats fuel at a rate of 25l per 100k.

Dunno just at the end. Everyone has to give up on cars that are just too old but damn i love her.
If she can get me there and back without causing me any issues then i will reward her a new paint job. All matt black.

Seems a fair deal.

Im putting it out there fair and square. I hope she reads this...................

Did notice a small brake in the wire to the amplifier. Moved that and it started.
15 minutes until we leave. God its not looking good.

Loose connections aka Terminal Disease can be bad for your mental health! Had the sis in law's car here for a few days with intermittent stopping, same deal, a dodgy non factory connector was EVENTUALLY found to the problem. Don't give up too quickly!
