[TexasTJ]

Well I thought I Had found the right 99 Discovery here in Austin, but the guy just want more that I can swing for it. I wanted to see if I could get any help finding a White 99 Series 1 Discovery. Im am in Texas can Fly to it, or I can be in Texas! Im open to all Trim levels and Packages as long as its WHITE. I have not had much luck on LRX and Ebay is a seeming bust. are there any other good sites to look at for used Rovers?

Maybe my eyes are failing me as I've become middle aged, but is that an aftermarket sunroof in the $8888 Disco? For the life of me I can't understand why would someone cut into the roof of a pristine non-sunroof Disco?

Rust isn't a big issue here since they use sand on the roads instead of salt.

Really, when? Seriously though, we may get a flurry or two in the Atlanta area but nothing that ever sticks, and they don't use salt on the roads as someone else has already posted.

Ok so I just found a Rover Im going to buy. Is it sits now it has 115000 miles and the motor, drivertrain, and body are in top notch shape. NO leaks! What are the common Problems that pop up on Rovers with this Milage at this age. I know the Head Gasket, Are any Major Driver train Bumps in my near future? The guy has taken some good care of the truck. Im really excited!!!, and on the verge of craping myself too...

Do yourself a favor and replace every bushing (radius arms, trailing links, panhard rod) and the engine and transfer case mounts.
