Thanks mate. Nice family photo. I never liked that colour before i saw yours. Works really well with black accessories and wheels. For what it is worth iike the flat black wheels in that combo.
Cheers

Thanks, I've just cropped it as there was far too much sky and sand.
Getting new tyres 8/2 and so the weights will move and the will need touch up. So, very tempted to try satin black.
I'll change it in Photoshop first and post a pic.
Cheers

Finally managed to get a reasonably ok D2a Td5. I'm planning to change to some ATs though. Big thanks to Carl at Green Light car care for giving it a thorough going over!

Silver 2a has gone. Need to pay an urgent bill...... Plus I get tired of cars real easy. Always looking for the next challenge or something.....
Although I had my doubts, I think I worried more than I possibly should. Most its faults I got fixed and where common Disco 2 things.
So onwards and upwards as the say.
Here is my new ride...........
Its low on power and has a leaking FPR. But going to fix that this weekend.
This time around I was a lot more informed and knew what to look for. Previous owner didn't know about the FPR. He gave up on it as he just spent 1500 on having the XYZ switch replaced. Just before Xmas he spent 1k on tyres. Also has 12 months rego.
Cames with a pile of invoices for services etc. This doesnt faze me if he didn't have them. But the car presented tidy, that was the main thing.
Its bog stock standard apart from the bull bar.
Totally agree, not a colour i would normally look at but that combo just works.Quote:

In the last year we've been restauring the D2... we've made entirely the TD5 engine (up and down), rebuild the zf4hp22 auto gear box, transfercase changed and so on

In other news, I scored a set of these to fit, caving in to peer pressure much :D
I have some snazzy upgrades for them though :cool:

Just picked this up today.
Ok condition, not perfect, but it's getting hard to find a disco 2 in good condition.. Got sick of waiting.
It's a 2003 v8 with 190,000km. Pretty much full service history - see how we go eh?
Was originally after a td5 but wasn't inspired by how they drove, and most had a rough life. (driving a 4.5 TD v8 cruiser for work probably doesn't help)
