Hi everyone, I bought a 2005 SE 2.7 Manual a week ago. Luckily it’s in very good condition but needs a few wee jobs doing. I have already found lots of helpful information on here so thanks to all that contribute!

Hi Steve
Good to see you’ve come over to the dark side mate 🤣
Look forward seeing the great projects that you’ve been doing and imagine many will also enjoy seeing them
Always reminds me of the chitty chitty bang bang sketch where he comes out with a gleaming car

Hi all.
I've had a '96 Disco 1 TD4 for 15 years now and have just upgraded to a 2010 D4 SE with the 3L engine. I bought it from interstate, so it won't get here for another week or so, so I have a bit of time to research fixes for some (hopefully) minor issues.
From the pictures I saw and what my friend who checked it out for me said, it looks to be in really good condition inside and out. The only obvious internal issue is that part of the roof lining is sagging. Other than that, the engine developed a tick. It sounds like its on the driver's side bank, up high and towards the back. It doesn't pick up on a phone sound recording, so I have to wait until it gets here to go over it with a stethoscope to get a better idea before I pull bits off.
I found this site when researching the D4 gearbox issues, while looking at a different D4, and look forward to seeing what you all think the issue may be.
Greg.

Hello,
I live in Tallinn, Estonia.
Just yesterday, I bought a 2011 D4 sdv6 with a seized engine to rebuild it during a long autumn evening. I have a small garage and plan to do everything besides machinery on my own. I hope that I will be able to do that and we will have long beautiful trips with this disco))
