    Resurrecting A One Owner Disco 1- A LR love story

    It made it there without any issues. Spent a few days driving around the area, and back home late last night. Hiccup free!

    Resurrecting A One Owner Disco 1- A LR love story

    Very nice! I sometimes miss my imported 300 TDI disco. I’m right outside of Charlotte. Taking it on a 9+ hour one way trek tomorrow, which will be its longest trip. Changed the oil, transfer case fluid, and greased all u joints/driveshafts. Crossing my fingers!

    Resurrecting A One Owner Disco 1- A LR love story

    The paint is far from perfect. It’s what I would consider barely acceptable if I were trying to sell the truck. But, I use it to camp and haul dirtbikes around. Having something that’s wildly imperfect, is the best option for myself. Something with perfect paint, wouldn’t remain that way for...

    300 tdi disco build

    Cool build! Fellow NC Disco owner here as well. I’ve owned a 300tdi Disco in the past, and used this EGT kit. It ditched the stock clock, and looks clean. Highly recommend...

    Resurrecting A One Owner Disco 1- A LR love story

    Indeed. The LR4 is a major step forward from even the 3, which is a great vehicle in its own right. While I love the vintage charm of older stuff, the one major setback for me is handling. The LR3 handled really good through mountain curves, while the Disco 1 is borderline freighting if you...

    Resurrecting A One Owner Disco 1- A LR love story

    Regarding mechanicals. The oil pan gasket was replaced. Every fluid was changed. I redid various electrical and vacuum lines. New TPS, IAC, MAF, CPS. New fuel pump, etc. I didn’t want the rough ride of a lifted Disco, so I decided to keep it factory height. I bought brand new stock coil...

    Resurrecting A One Owner Disco 1- A LR love story

    The interior ended up getting sound deadening throughout. Every panel was inside was taken out and cleaned. All speakers were replaced. All the door seals were upgraded with Disco 2 units. Every window regulator and motor were changed. I tried finding good condition front seats, but...

    Resurrecting A One Owner Disco 1- A LR love story

    On a positive note, it came with every owners manual, receipt, VHS tapes, and literature Land Rover would send each year. Lots of cool stuff to sift through, for a nerd like myself. Not to mention, a factory optioned safety devices roof rack, brush and tail light guards. Due to the mold...

    Resurrecting A One Owner Disco 1- A LR love story

    I planned to hike today, but it’s been pissing down with rain. Also out of books to read, I truly have nothing to do. So I figured making an old school forum post would kill time! I’ve had a lifelong attraction to Land Rovers. During childhood, my family traveled constantly. Which meant if we...

    159k US miles. The previous owner had it for 5 years, and purchased from a shop who went through it. I also had a shop fully go through the motor a month or so ago, and did all of the work listed above. Price updated.

    1993 Mitsubishi Delica Chamonix $11,999 Charlotte,NC

    I can get photos of the rear. All of the seats are out. I love to hike, and travel around riding dirt bikes. Had planned on just using a fold out mattress for the rear. Yes, it has Bilstein front shocks that have less than 5k on them and Gabriel heavy duty rear shocks. The tires are...

    1993 Mitsubishi Delica Chamonix $11,999 Charlotte,NC

    The Chamonix trim is a highly desirable trim level. It includes an LSD rear diff, premium cloth interior that has extra insulation. This is also a high roof version without problematic sunroofs! 2.5 turbo diesel. I absolutely adore this vehicle, and only putting it up for sale due to the...

    Wandering US in a UK spec Land Rover

    Indeed, I could have easily purchased just about anything else that would make the trek without a hiccup. That doesn’t appeal to me. Part of these adventures for me, is the vehicle itself and actually completing the trip in something interesting. Yes, she loves the Disco more than me I feel. I...

    Wandering US in a UK spec Land Rover

    I took it to a shop for brakes, because I’m in between a new home build. Living in an apartment/townhome without a garage. I also retired @ 30, so sometimes throwing money at a problem is the easiest solution in my case. But, I will forever be cheap at my core, and paying that much in labor for...
