Hi, Now I'm seriously looking for a late (95-99) 300tdi discovery (after realising a TD5 was really out of my price range, and having found a buyer for my 110) There are a few around (I'm a bit limited by my location in NW Highlands) for not much money and several are automatics. Does anyone have experiance of the auto box with the
300tdi? I would prefer a manual box, but feel I shouldn't discount the autos, as several are high spec with low miles etc. Usage - generally local road use, no motorways, sometimes with 2 ton trailer, off road use limited to very muddy tracks & fields with said trailer attached. Is there a big MPG difference between the auto & man versions? Also can someone remined me of the favourite rust spots on these discoverys (are they Disco 1 or 2's?) Thanks alot! Andrew- posted
