Title: New car, sort of...
Post by: Binary Shadow on December 26, 2009, 22:53:03 PM
Well i got it quite a while ago tbh but only just got some pictures, so here it is, my 1996 Land Rover Discovery 3.9 V8 ES (extra special? certainly a very high spec... for a disco leather interior and electric everything).

Filthy... just like it should be, excuse the arty lens flare i couldnt be bothered to fit a hood.

Shes.. well... a heap if Im honest, i shouldnt have bought it but i did, its LPG which is the only saving grace really. Its cost me a new battery, valve cover gaskets, some sealant (to seal the leaking sunroofs) and lube so far but it needs the diff lock linkage un-seizing, the leaking exhaust manifold (or gasket) replacing and some general TLC.

My own fault, didnt really give it a proper look over as a mate was selling it and i wanted one.. actually i wanted a v8 range rover but couldnt afford that so this is what iv ended up with. Once everythings fixed i shall be off down some green lanes trying to break it again i think.

You seems to change cars more often than I change tooth brushes!

Nice to see it dirty though
