Default Need INSIGHT please

Going to look at one this week, 1995, 188,000 miles needs paint and says the windows work SOMETIMES.
What should I look at and ask about? Will be the first Rover in the house without FUR.

Which windows?
Back windows? Easy DIY soldering job.
Read the tech section on the DI page.

I see you've had/have a couple of Jag's. You should be pretty familiar with weird electric problems...the Disco will fit right in.

In the sticky at the top of the forum list is one- what to look for in buying a disco(or something like that).

A 95 WITH 188k ON IT AIN'T WORTH MUCH. HE SHOULD PAY YOU TO TAKE IT.

George you should put your location in your sig , so we would know where from is the truck.If it is from Arizona don't ask too much questions,just buy it ,you should see no rust , just faded outside paint.Truck from anywhere else , check for the rust ,rust and humidity will also cause all sorts of electrical malfunctions.These trucks are beautiful outside and you will seldom see rust on outside.That's why you should check under and overall condition of the truck.

Sorry Guys
In Aiken S.C. and it looks like we will pull the trigger and buy it. Got him down to $1,500.00.
Ran out good but needs lots of TLC.
Will post more when we get it in house.
