1997 Discovery 1
300tdi 5 speed
SOLD!!!
I bought this truck October 2021 from a fellow on the island. It’s been great fun, but I recently acquired another Disco that’s built to the spec that I wanted to get this one to, so this one has got to make space in the stable (oh how I wish I could just keep them all!).
I’ve put a new radiator, lower coolant hose, clutch master and slave (there is a loss of pressure though, so possibly the master needs to be swapped again), battery was fresh this winter, tailpipe from muffler back, 2” spacers. New oil cooler line & fitting.
There are some rust issues (oddly enough), typical rear body seams in trunk, rear wheel wells, driver floor has some. And inner arches in front wheel wells, all fixable. There is a small hole in frame by where the original V8 cat was on passenger side, again repairable with minimal welding. Will need a new fuel tank skid plate, another member on here has one available, check my other post in the wanted section.
It’s sat most of the winter, the glow plugs weren’t quite up to the major cold snap we had, but it starts up no problem with reasonable temperatures. There is a squeaky bearing on the idler pulley.
Currently has 7.5R16 wranglers, but will be sold with the original alloys and BFG AT tires seen in the other pictures. These pictures are from the original listing when I purchased the truck in 2021.
Has a few things needing to be done with it to be sure, but it’s a diesel 5 speed Disco 1 with no sunroof. It’s worth the effort to put into it, if you have some time and a garage to work in. I’ve had a great time with it, and it’s a head turner when the diesel chugs on by.
Located in Hope.
New lowered price!!
$5300
