Hi all,
I am not an LR owner, but the thought is seriously crossing my mind.
I have an opportunity to pick up a '94 Disco in decent shape with one minor problem. The engine has a knocking rod. It basically needs a new engine or an engine rebuild.
The owner is a co-worker and in the last year has done many things. New birfields up front, new brake, new alternator, new tires, etc. The body and interior are in very nice condition.
Anyways, what is a disco worth with a bad engine. How much would a used engine cost? What is the typical instal time (ofr a shop) to do an engine R/R? I can do most work myself, so I can handle an engine R/R. I just want to get an idea of what a shop would charge.
Now< i knwo this to LR woner is blasphomey, but most of my 4x4 experience is with jeeps. How does the disco compare to a wrangler? Are ARB lockers available for the disco? What does it take to fit 31s or 33s on a disco? Are aftermarket wheels available for a disco.
I guess, what do i look for ona disco. What are thier strengths and weaknesses? I know cost is a weakness, but, they cant be much worse than certain cars that come out of Stuttgart for parts prices.
Well, any help would be great.
