Just bought a 99 Disco from a mechanic in Ocala FL....with 130K looks to be in excellant physical shape, he did the heads at 113K but tells me I cannot drive it home because it randomly overheats! Any suggestions?? Radiator flush? fan clutch? bad head job?, air evac? Also needs a body control unit and the steering wheel is off center but drives straight. Im a decent mechanic been building motors, working on my 4x4;s and hot rods for 45 years...what am I in for? I love these truks... and have wanted one for 10 years wish I could afford a Defender...(My wife tells me Id be on the couch if I did )

 

To help my issues let me add the rest of the details. 1999 Disco II 136K miles, maintained by mechanic, bought on ebay....Im flying out to drive it home 400 miles, need to arrive with the most likely issues recognized and a plan for repair before I leave. Seler has good garage, will help in the repair THANKS

 

junk, ebay motors is mostly junk anyway.

 

AAAHH its all in the eye of the beholder......Ive paid much much more for cars from reputable dealers that were junk....Life is a series of adventures...LOL
