my disco

hi just joined a few days ago, i have got a 56 plate se auto in tonga green, since getting it 7 months ago i have spent a small fortune on it, a new turbo, a decat pipe, egr blanking kit, a silicon hose kit, a set of heater plugs, a set of injectors, a full set of timing belts, all the hard to get at brake pipes while the body was off, a recon air compressor and ride height sensor and ride height set up on autologic, two rear tie rods, two rear tyres and geometry set up with four wheel laser alighnment, off road info and off road navigation enabled, anew tailgate handle, an MOT two weeks ago and the odd bits of trim.

might be for sale

that was another job done on saturday on top of all the work already done, changed the sump pan filter and oil in the auto box, i am thinking this car is a bit of overkill for me as i only do about 4K a year mostly during the shooting season and i dont need cruise control climate control and seven seats for that so i am thinking of selling this and getting a 90 CSW.

Sorry to say this, but have you looked up the recommendations re the rear prop centre bearing? The normal result of a repair is for it to fail again shortly after so it's recommended to just fit a complete, new prop. I wish you luck with it. Sad Thumbs Up
