New to this new LandRover world and I am just looking for a little feedback on my new purchase...2001 Disco II, 105k, very good condition as far as I can tell (little things here and there but I can fix most easily)

My wife had a client that was recently divorced (yes I bought "his truck"!) and she was moving to Boston in a hurry. I do freelance mechanic work and she wanted me to look at it b/c the PS was out. She wanted to fix it and donate it. It was a bad pump and the return line, but she did not want to fool with fixing it after all so I asked her what she wanted for the truck...she said "2,000-1,500". I left and called her back a week later. She was very close to her move date so again, I asked her what she wanted for it, she said $1,000. I went to the bank and came back with cash.

I bought an after market pump and fixed the p/s very easily for less than $300.

A week ago the TC, ABS, and Incline (3 amigos?) lights came on so I now have this to deal with. Is this something that could cause a bigger problem if it is not adressed right away??

Basically, I am not sure that I want to keep the truck yet and I do not want to dump a ton of cash in it if I am not keeping it. I am torn though because I have always liked the trucks and feel like I got a good deal on it.

Any help/suggestions/advice??

Thanks in advance!

 

That seems like an awesome deal. Congrats! The three amigos are a widely addressed issue in the DII section. Basically it could be anything from brake dust to a bad sensor. Best of luck and welcome to the club.

 

You theif taking advanage of that lady. Excellent find

 

EASILY the crappiest deal of all time. These things are money pits and are clearly capable of causing a divorce. I'll do you a favor though as you seem like a nice guy; I'll paypal you $500 AND haul it off to spare you the embarrasement and trouble...
