Default 1995 Discovery 1, 5 speed manual

Just got this GEM. It had been sitting a long time in Coleman, Texas and now at my house in Midland,Tx. New battery. Crank, no start. Changed spark plugs and wires, no start. New Ignition coil. No start. All of these things needed to be replaced anyway. It is the fuel pump and waiting on that to be delivered any day now. It started with starter fluid. I am super excited about this disco. Not many 5 speed manuals around anymore. In my 65 years of life, I have owned many of them and wished I had kept them however ended up selling them eventually.

Hi, welcome here. You’re almost in the right place. This is the D2 forum. D1 is right above this one.

So, what are you selling? How much for the rock sliders?

I'd argue front/side and side profiles too! The photos were back in January and haven't been edited, color corrected, or anything. Just taken on an iPhone 11.



Can't tell if the photos are uploaded or not??

How do you find the ride on your green one (I deleted the pic)? I've got E-rated tires as well, and I'm trying to see if other people's spring/shock setups are at least decently comfortable. I'm looking for new shocks and springs, saw your signature.

Honestly the ride is terrible compared to either the classic or white disco. It's the E rated KO2s. I actually have the big blue springs on my classic now and some britpart yellows on the green one (they aren't great but the ride was unchanged between the springs). I've had 3 different springs and 2 sets of shocks on this car and ride almost never changes, which is how I've narrowed down to the tires.. If you load the car up enough the ride softens somewhat. A stock D2 just doesn't weigh enough to ride well on E-rated imo (also not a KO2 fan...) and can't wait to replace them if the KO2s ever wear down enough to warrant buying a new set.

They’ll take a while. KO2’s last a long time.

Sell the tires on FB marketplace, they'll find a new home quick.... just don't try to sell Disco or P38 wheels, ask me how I know, lol
