Thread: nice words to say for a change

The asking price is two thousand five hundred dollars. I can PM a photo of the ad.

Since I find my automatic appalling in hilly ranges, I'd buy it and drive the auto to the property and take the manual off road from there, if I had the money. But someone else will get a good deal.

With all this hot weather, I'm desperate to give this one the tweaking treatment, off to order an EGT gauge

Use 3rd in the hills, makes it much better to drive, a bit of power out of the corners.

$2500 for a 96 300tdi disco

does it move?

And i'm contemplating buying an 04 disco, makes me nervous about selling mine. Might as well sell the parts at 2500.
