Thats rubbish...all coils arent that bad! Comparative to a ACE vehicle it may feel like it rolls, but they still corner well compared to other vehicles that dont have cornering assistance.

I do agree that the ACE doesnt make it more unreliable...its the air bags that would make it more unreliable. And you can get all coil with ACE.

Looks like a good buy.

Definitely go with the Sahara Bar - I think they look much better than a full bullbar. Just wish they did one for the Disco 1 ... have to make my own

Well it corners a lot better than my Rangie

Hi Maggot4x4,
I think that you have done well to get a MY2003 Td5 for that price. They tend to be somewhat more expensive for the same km than earlier Td5s.

I didn't pay that price for it, infact, a fair bit less, Closer to 20k than 25k

It ais an S so has coil springs and no ACE, should make it more reliable

Pick it up next week.

Lets hope I have more luck with this than the P38a

So did I do ok?

Yep good buy I reckon. Was it private or through a yard?
