96 disco, Some Advice Please
EDIT:IT'S A '96 DISCO
Hi guys, I'm looking at a 96 disco thats for sale, only problem is it didn't pass smog, the owner changed out the o2 sensors, after that it still wouldn't pass, so a mechanic told him to change out the ECM, so he bought a rebuilt ECM, installed it, then it wouldn't start. After putting back the original ECM, it still wouldn't start. So now he's trying to get rid of it "as is" for pretty cheap, and it's in good shape. Before all of this, he said it ran perfect. What do you guys think I should do? Easy fix? Would I be getting in deep to get it started again? any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you

It wouldnt pass smog because it needs a good tune up, 90% of O2 codes on LR's are due to the need of a tune up.
Depending on the ECU he put it in it may need to be reprogrammed.
You will need the ECU from a '96 or older, you cant put in the ECU for a '98 DI for example.
How much are they asking for this truck?
How many miles on it?

he's asking $900 with 168,000 miles-white, says only other things wrong with it are the rear windows don't go down, there is a tear in the driver side seat, and it would leak a little gas when topped off, but thats all small stuff. If it use to run fine with the old ecm, I don't see why it wouldn't run when he put it back in, maybe it just blew a fuse? Who knows, it's a gamble, but thats dirt cheap price either way, right?
I forgot to mention, it's been sitting at his mechanics shop for about 8 months, he just wants to cut his losses on it
