Default Help Thinking of buying a Disco

Hi I hope some of you guys could help me,
I am looking into buying a 2003 Se Discovery 200,000Km / 120,000 Mls and was looking into some advice as to what to check for apart from the obvious. I know about the front drive shaft through your site, Just wondering what else i should check, I know its high highway mileage but it has been well looked after and maintained Thanks in advance

What is the VIN? There were a certain range of 03's that had a serious oil pump problem, that needs to be your first concern. Someone will back me up with the vin-range shortly if I cant find it.

I live in Canada near Toronto,
Thanks for the info on the VIN, oil pump issue, I am guessing it would be a later unit with all the road that it has covered ??? But I will check it out. It has a V8 engine
