Congrats on the purchase.

No cats on the Disco1.
Extractors are said to be overrated on these from the people I've spoken to. Then again if they can be had cheap like you say then maybe.

I notice it doesn't have any of the ES woodgrain. Must not have had it that early on.

They are a great cheap fun machine but don't expect too much from the 3.9 V8. Think VN Commodore V6 in a 2 tonne vehicle.

Pretty much the only reason we considered it was that it was an ES and a manual. We've liked these particular Discos since they were new!

We'd been looking at a 100-series Landcruiser with 2UZ/manual combination (2005 model with 14,000kms on the clock), but - nice as it was - it was just too expensive to justify. Speaking of rare, I'd suggest they're even rarer than ES V8 manuals...In fact (as a bit of trivia), I believe that Australia was the only market where they sold the LC100 V8s in manual. You certainly couldn't get them in the US...

Hi, I'm down south in Banks. Give me a Pm when your ready to get some mud and scratches on it.:D
