So does $1100 count as a good deal ? thats where we stand, I took it for a test drive today, it drove fine - no noises, engine didnt tick, but the 3 amigos are on, and there are 4 codes, the worst being the MAF, and crank position sensor. It will probably need new engine mounts, and a tune up. The brakes vibrated when pressed, it sat through the winter, snow and all and hasnt been driven for months. The owner had the calipers and pads changed a little while ago - but not the rotors, they look like they have plenty of life but are covered in rust.
Oh and it can use a little body work - nice 3" gouge on the hood and a couple other stuff here and there
So whats your thoughts on it

$1100 for a running driving disco sounds like a steal to me. I think british pacific has the mounts for like $25 each. Crank sensor from Autozone is less than $80. MAF is probably the priciest, but I think you can probably find one for the 4.0 for between $100 - $200. The 3 amigos is a crap shoot, anywhere from free to hundreds of dollars to fix.
I'd buy it.

reason of replacement
im yet to find anyone with a t4 that can reprogram a used cluster. if you get a cluster new it can be synced with the ECU. Not even the 2 local dealers were able to do it for me.
i had to replace mine because the moron before me had broke off the LED's of the 3 amigos.
as said before be careful because it was replaced for some reason...

exactly
does $1000 count as dirt cheap ? Originally I was thinking $1300 but the OD makes me want to go lower
Its got 140K on it, SE7 - rear suspension replaced with springs, engine is pretty quite though could use a tune up, heads were replaced 2 years ago.
The CEL codes are P01590, P0340, P0444. (there is a loose plug hanging on the side of the drivers side of the engine - under throttle body)
I couldnt find my Amigo at the time I went to check it out so dont know what those codes are.
The truck definitely looks like it was a project - the dash was loose, passenger side toe/knee kick board was missing, nice little dent in hood, the rear moon roof doesnt open, and the rear door doesnt open either.
The way I see it, any disco I get will eventually have issues, not really sure I want to get so involved, so I am thinking it may not be such a bad idea to learn on something like this which is cheap and runs - but has issues and if it comes down to it a can get rid of later - even at a bit of a loss
Right now I fix my own vehicles but they are volvos form the late 90's so its a different ball game
