If you look around you will find a good TD5 on your budget, it might have done a few miles but if you do some homework you will find out what to look out for.

Trawl some of the land rover forums for info.

                I'm terribly sorry but I checked on the Land Rover Dealers that were located in Shardlow and there is no sign of them now at all. We were calling on friends in the Risley area and shot over this last wednesday the 2nd and there was not one Landy of any discription to be seen.I hope this item is read by you before making a wasted journey. Sorry.!!!

           Regards Graham R.

Are you sure they've not moved further along? might be worth giving them a call

Or try here these are nationwide and highly recommended.

I'd be wary of buying anything from the disposal lists of the big 4x4 hire firms. I've been on a few big road building jobs & they tend to hire the 4x4s out by the transporter load to big contract muckshifting/roadbuilding jobs. The vehicles take one heck of a hammering & when off hired, the ones for disposal are steam cleaned & sold off. Considering the vast numbers of discos sold to people who never take them off road & treat them like cars, there'll be one out there for you that hasn't had to hard a life.

This may be the website for the Leominster auction mentioned earlier in the thread

Hi Graham,

Thanks for the update. I haven't had the chance to do anything more than "Google" at the moment - so no wasted journey for me - Cheers.

The 4 X 4 place on the main A6 in Shardlow, Derbys is definitely there, I passed it yesterday.

Plenty on offer from what I could see.

Blame this poster for bringing this to the top again

Well not really, just never noticed how old the thread was

Good spot, and I think the originator of the thread seems to have a Disco now, going on the outfit details.
