I don't want one from England, I want a left-hand drive from the continent. I have been looking on websites from Germany and Belguim. Import rules say it has to be 15 yrs old from 1st reg, so right now a '99.
Probably a pipe dream anyway.

 

I live in Germany here are couple used car sites you can look up 1999 Discovery on
www.autoscout24.com/, mobile.de - Germany's Biggest Vehicle Marketplace Online. Search, Buy and Sell Used and New Vehicles.

both of them are in English or can be switched to English , Prices are in Euro.

hope this helps your pipe dream come true

 

I may buy a BMW 335D.
Sorry replacement for a Rover.
But it gets me into the 40+ MPG club.

 

I looked at this truck.


It has minimal frame corrosion, not as good as a Nevada truck, but close.


It is from Rome Italy. I think it was brought to Canada to re-sell so not much exposure to Canadian Winter.


Interior and exterior a little beat up. Normal wear for year I suppose.


Gear box seems to have lost the gates for each gear, but works okay.


Seller is not very technical. Oil was very low on dipstick, but engine seemed to run just fine.


Price to rich for my blood. Got a D2 from Nevada that was converted from v8 to TD5 instead.

 

I am getting a price now on a 300tdi and tranny from england. I'll swap it myself maybe.

How do you like the TD5? Fuel mileage? The guy selling the 300tdi will not ship TD5 kits as he says there is a lot of electronic hurdles. Does your guy do many and does he have more for sale?

 

I cannot offer much comment on the performance or fuel economy yet. I have only driven it twice and am now slowly perfecting the interior in my garage.


It feels powerful in normal driving because there is so much power low in the rev range compared to gasoline engines and the 5 speed does not have the losses associated with the auto. Power delivery is very smooth.


I really love the anti-stall feature in the control system. You can just slowly let out the clutch on a hill and the throttle will automatically increase to keep you going. I actually drove around a hilly neighborhood in second gear without touching the accelerator.


My guy has done around 5 or 6 disco conversions, but mine is the first TD5. The engine and transmission are from England.


I believe he is doing another one soon.


I will ask him if he has a contact he would share with forum users.

Yeah, I was chuckling a bit at that too. "Hmm, lets take our most winter capable vehicle and put it in the garage all winter and drive the Corvette!"

 

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Couldn't be much further away though,lol

 

So, I got a price today for a 300tdi and transmission shipped from England. $5000 for a used or $8000 for a rebuilt.
Landroverimport. Anyone deal with these guys? Thoughts?
