Hello all, thanks for dropping in.
I am looking to buy an older diesel Disco for winter and some green lane use. I have consulted the excellent FAQ's associated with this forum, but I still have a few of outstanding issues, namely:
- what kind of mileage should I expect from the engine/transmission. Almost all the ones I have looked at are 100,000+ miles - when do they finally give up the ghost?
- how difficult would it be to service one myself? (please bear in mind I am a complete klutz with a set of spanners)
- sorry about the ignorance but which, if any, of the body panels are aluminium? I have a feeling part of it is, but which part of it? where do they corrode?
- which would be the 'best' club to look at joining for when I start doing some green lanes? I'm not desperately worried about competitions, just the odd gentle amble off road - I live in mid Derbyshire.
Thanks in advance for your replies,
Andy.
