Hi all,
I'm a Land Rover man usually, I currently have a 1977 Series 3 and a 1994 Disco 300tdi, but running two has got too much for me!
The Disco is going to be sold, and I wanted something that would drink veg oil and tow my trailer tent in a bit more comfort than a rattly old series 3, while also being cheap to run. An XUD based 306 was my first thought! Costs about half as much as the Disco to insure for a start.
Went to look at one locally today and I'm happy it's what I want, but the one I saw was crap. Dented everywhere, the doors didn't lock (everything locked and then unlocked straight away, couldn't get all of the doors to lock at all) and the radiator had a hole in it, didn't fancy paying 500 notes for it! Was an M-reg on 90 odd thousand miles.
Hopefully I'll find something soon and look forward to finding out more from this site!
Cheers
Sam
