    What to look out for (1997 tdi)

    Hi All,
    Tomorrow I am going to look at a 1997 tdi Discovery and I was wondering if there are things I should look out for and listen for when test driving! This is potentially my first Landrover it is said to have been garaged for a year since the women lost her license and she has owned it for 12 years!
    Thanks

    Gday
    Auto or manual?
    km?
    documented service history?
    There are a few threads in here asking the same question but if you provide more detail it will help members here give more specific and useful responses.

    Body:
    Front floor pans
    Rear cargo area (look under mat)
    Rear tropical windows (usual place for rust)
    Firewall (look around rear of brake booster etc)

    Another area for rust is behind the front guards, but I don't think this is easily checked(others may have suggestions??)

    Check front wheels for vertical movement when in the air. (sign that the front pivots may need refurbishing)

    May be able to tell you morte when you let us know the model (year) and motor.
