Hi All,

New member from CT USA.



I just inherited a 2000 LR Base Discovery w/ 41,000 miles.

• No Air suspension
• very clean besides a crack in the front bumper

I need some advice - should I keep it and fix it up or flip it?

• How reliable are these trucks as daily drivers around town?
• What should I have my mechanic look at besides changing all the fluids as the Disco sat for a couple of years?

It definitely needs tires - can someone recommend a decent-size tire without doing a lift- something slightly more than the stock 255/65R16?

• I was thinking of a 265/70R16- would that work, or should I be more realistic with a 255/70R16?
• Any recommendations on where I can snag a front bumper without spending more than $500?
• I found this --> https://www.goldwingrover.com/product-p/dpb104620.htm - but I'm not even sure if they have one in stock.

Thank you all very much for any recommendations and advice.



Regards,

Mike

 

Hopefully I’m not too late to respond. If maintained they’re pretty reliable. My 2001 is my daily driver. There are numerous threads here on good tire sizes for various lifts/non lifts. Whether you keep it or sell it depends on what you want. All of us regulars on this forum think that they are awesome vehicles.
