Dear all, I am still in the search of a used car here in Timor leste, well I had the opportunity for a LR Disco I but it went away and was too $$$, then came the Nissan Rasheen which was too small for the family, now I found a Nissan Terrano, model 1998 Diesel, Automatic with about 160'000 km...

Hi, I found an opportunity for a 1999 Pajero V6 (2 doors - automatic) and would like to know if you could tell me more about this car and what I should pay attention for. I also have an opportunity for a Land Rover Discovery, so I am hesitating. Both have low mileage and seem in good condition...

here are the last 3 last. Thank you very much!

Hello, just got back from the mechanic for a more in depth check. The engine seems fine but they advised to change the timing belt. The oil that is leaking could be taken care by replacing a joint. Besides this it seems that all the joint or seal - well the caoutchouc part (not sure about the...

Thanks. Yes parts of a Pajero are probably less expensive and more accessible. The point is that a Pajero (5 doors) with 130'000 km will cost about 12 to 14'000 US$ and not sure any maintenance have been done, but will be easily sold. My thought is the following, the car cost less than a...

Well, I did not see any rust or leak spot, but I did not crawl under it neither as I had very little time with it. As you can see, I am trying to get as much information as I can so I can propose a price that is honest and based on facts. After it will be in the hand of the owner. What do you...

and here is the last pix.... Thank you.

Thanks for your wise advise and that is probably what will happen. This being said, I met with other land rover owners (expats) and they bring the parts from outside Timor when they go home or order them from abroad. What is expensive is if we have them ordered by the mechanics. I know I might...

Yes the sale price is 9000 USD, but the point is that here the value of a landrover Disco I is about 2500-3000 USD. It is very difficult to sell due a lack of parts and also because they are known for their engine problems. You can actually see a bunch of dead discoveries (no diesel one though...

Does anyone knows about Nissan Rasheen? Are they any good? Thanks

Ok thanks, I shouldn't worry too much then on this, just hope that the parts can be found here and not too expensive. I managed to upload some pictures in an album I just created: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/album.php?albumid=998 Does everything look ok? Also I am quite concerned...

Ok here it is: I brought the car to the mechanic who took a quick look and mentioned that there oil needs to change and there is a problem with the joint from the engine as oil is leaking, the same with the front wheel. I have to bring the car back for a full check. He also mentioned that the...

Thank for this. well, I deduce then that he meant the 4 cylinder petrol. I will meet with him tomorrow and check the mechanic if she is ok. I'll go through more readings, though I get mixed up with the years and differences....This disco stayed in my mind since I tried it :Wow1:....... Thanks...

Thank you very much for this, it is of great help. I found someone that has a Disco here for many years, and he also has a mechanic that knows these cars well which is very good. He mentioned that parts can be found but it is better to order them in the UK....I have to call him tomorrow to show...

Thanks, I understand that I really need to check it well and that mostly if taken care well they can last very long. I hope the mechanic I saw will do this carefully even though he advised me not to take it. I am not a mechanic savvy, though when I had my last car a few years ago and it was a...

Thank you very much Rovertrader, and yes as I mentioned she seems she was taken care off very much. I doubt she was taken for heavy long off road expedition, but more as a daily safe car by the owner. I am not a mechanic so what do you mean by check the level? Also, since probably besides oil...

Hello, I am totally new in this and never owned a LR. I am in East Timor and here we need 4x4 because the roads are very bad and once out of the city,they get worse, it is the bush. Cars are usually expensive because of the inflation and we find mostly Pajeros and Landcruisers...few LR. I...
