I'm about to spend some very serious silly money on Grumble and as these things go, there has to be some 'planning gain' with Charlotte.
Previous spendings have demanded a new kitchen and new bathroom (bathroom promised, but not finished, so I'm on very thin bargaining ground).
Charlotte wants a V8 Disco, with LPG as she has environmental leanings, and 5 door (some regulars may see something of a sychronicity happening here...) :-)
So, her current Disco, 200tdi, K plate, Black, 3 door 240,000 odd miles or so, may have to go.
A brief list of 'bits' done follow:
New Radiator New Alternator New Oil pump, Water pump and timing belt (Main Dealer fitted) Replacement Ashcroft Gearbox Replacement clutch Replaced shockers Tracker Clifford 'virtual key' immobiliser thingumie
5 new monular rims and Wrangler tyres (pretty much no wear). Terrain Master Steering guard and sill guards (not really off roaded though, sadly) Electric kit Original LR Radio cassette with full speaker kit (bass thing in back door) CATS system Sunroof 2 new (aftermarket) alarm keyfobs - 1 original Main Dealer fitter LR Driving lights Full Main dealer service history to 18 months ago, then full Warren service history - which I trust more. 2 owners from new, incredibly reliable and NO oil leaks Tax and MOT to end of December 2004 Jeremy J Fearn Intercooler (fitted by Jeremy)I would strongly recommend replacing the rear discs. The rear door lock spring is bust, but works on the key (this is not as easy as it sounds to replace). Bodywork reasonable for age - paint bubbling on window pillars, back door etc. Door bottoms split but not any worse than many newer models! Inside is tidy, if a little tatty and back a bit 'doggie'.
This has, like all of our Landies, been well maintained (proactive, not reactive), looked after and proved - as I said above, remarkably reliable. The milage is scary, but this vehicle has never let us down and I'd put money on it not doing so if the purchaser maintains it as we have (which doesn't actually have to cost much - last MOT was 100 quid or so I believe - including the test fee).
I've no idea what it's worth and wouldn't want to feel I'd be ripping anyone off by asking -n- pounds, if you see what I mean?
Although I've been a frighteningly frequent 'buyer' on eBay, have never sold anything, so may need guidance from others who have if I decide to go down this route :-)
So, a price range?
