Hey guys!
I found the score of a life time, and ironically it was only about 5km away from where I live. Its a 1998 Discovery 1, but its veryyy special. It only has 169,000km on it, thats right, KM. It was owned by an old rich woman for its entire life until it was bought by the PO one year ago. He's a rover nut, and he kept it extremely well maintained. The interior is immaculate. The seats hardly feel broken in. Every electrical bit works, the seats/sunroofs..ect you name it. I have looked up and down the car and there is very little, if any rust to be found. The guy knew all the possible rust spots on the Disco's and told me how he was dealing with all of it to keep it at bay. Oh, and did I mention it doesn't leak oil from underneath? The guy had the clean driveway to prove it. The guy wanted 4200$ so I took it. It has never been taken off road or abused in anyway. All it is going to need is front brake pads. The guy said I can get them from the local rover guy around here for 60$ and could put them on myself. Is that really possible? What say you guys?
I pick it up tomorrow, so do you have any questions that I should DEFINITELY be asking the guy. Such as service intervals..ect? There will be pictures, and hopefully a build thread as I get it ready for mine and my gf's 12000km journey across Canada.
Thanks guys!
