| What have you spent recently? |
|
So, just sat here updating a few costs and realised that in the 6 months of ownership I have spent a total of £4776 on the Disco (excluding fuel) 
OK, so just shy of £1800 was choice - as in new wheels, D4 lights, grille etc
But £2992 spent on no choice but to spend items.....such as Suspension, brakes, tyres, propshaft, battery, wheel bearing, EGR's (Potential EPB spend soon as well 
It's a good thing that like her 
Interesting to see what you other chaps have spent  Iggy/Ieuan

I must of been lucky then. 6 yrs of owership and I reckon apart from servicing which has to be done, I fitted some nice bits so my choice. But actual bits broken that needed changing were
front disks, once
front pads twice
rear pads and disks once
Steering rack, under LR warranty
Rear lower tailgate latch WD warranty
Steering column WD warranty
I think thats it, not overly abused during my ownership, 2 trips to Morocco and a couple to Croatia and back. Sold it last week with 62K on the clock. Just in time before the belts service . The dealer now has that issue and I reckon he won't bother with the oil pump when hes doing it. So I hope the new owner is aware of what they are getting in to. HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE

In past 12 months:
2 services
2 front wheel bearings
front and rear suspension arms
rear brake pipes
new 6-speed auto gearbox
front arb bushes and droplinks
Cost to me - less than £840 (2 services plus insurance for courtesy car)
Thankfully the LR Approved warranty paid for the majority of the list, else the bill would have been closer to £8k
Edit - forgot: two sets of parking sensors and one loom, again under warranty Currently 2009 Disco 3 SE, 2013 MY D4 HSE and 2016 D4 SE
Previously:
TD5 Defender 110 CSW (230k miles)
300TDi Disco 1 (289k)
4 RR Classics (300-350k each, 2 manual, 2 auto)
110 V8 CSW (220k)
S3 109 hi cap pickup (ex RN)
S2A 88 Safari SW with lpg conversion (bloody lethal)

I've just spent another £13
But this time it was for a Haynes Workshop manual
It's been far too long since I played with/fixed cars, but I think the time has finally arrived (Starting with EGR valves this weekend) Iggy/Ieuan

I think about £920 in the past 1,000 miles.
Another £600 coming up in the next 2,000 I think and whatever the good ship Discovery brings after!
