Aaaaargh dilemma......

[sulley]

Right I've currently got a 200Tdi Disco.

Just waiting for some wedge to come through from the sale of my motorbike and wondering what to do with me Disco.

Three Options as I see it.

1) Upgrade suspension all round on current motor (Lift and polybush)

2) Part Ex for a 300TDi.

3) Get a Defender 90!!!!


Really toying with the idea of a 90.  But me Dad, being the sensible old fella reckons I'll hate it as it's not as comfy etc as a Disco.

So what do you experts reckon??


Cheers

Steve.

depends what you want it for, off roading chucking dogs in the back, working out off, go for the defender, nice big cozy family car . going on holiday in, long distance driving, go for the Disco.....

Well i guess the question is what sort of nick is yiour Disco in?  No point getting another Disco if yours is sound.  The 90 is another issue totally, drive one though beacause they are a tad rough and to be honest if ya put a pair of wellies and a bucket in the back they are full.  

90'S DO ROCK THOUGH, ID YA DON'T NEED / CARE ABOUT PRACTICALITY

We were looking at another car recently for Julie to go to work in, she wanted a 90 as they are pretty much the biz off road.

When you look at how far your money goes though, oh dear.  A dodgy "1960 Defender 3.9 Auto", hmm think not, possibly made of all the stolen parts he hadn't managed to fence.

Ended up with a nice 300TDi for less wedge, which means I can tool the blue one up a little more now :D

A reasonably well prepared Disco will go 9 places out of 10 a ninety will go. I have drove 90 and 110's for over ten years and recently swapped a 200 tdi ninety for a 300tdi disco. In the disco you can hear your self speak on the motor way, more driver seat space,  and the interior heater does what it says on the tin. For starters

A van ninety is a great second vehicle. but as a first car with kids and a wifey. No long journeys!!!!

IMHO I would stick with a disco and read the threads on this site regarding lifts, props, winches etc before parting with cash!!!

If you get a standard ninety you still be buying the same offroad bits, bigger wheels winches etc as for a disco.

You will pay top money for a decent ninety and remember as with all LR's for the first six months you will be putting right bits that the seller forgot to mentioned where knacked. Because sellers say there vehicle is the BEST, buyer beware!!!!

Cheers

If you go for the ninety go over it with a fine tooth comb checking especally the T/Box.

Keep what you've got in my opinion. More basic than the 300tdi less to go wrong :?: The 90 will be great if all you want it for is off roading but the disco you have is just as capable. Spend the money on that and get the bits you want rather than spend your money on something else and have no money left to upgrade or new toys :)  :)

At the end of the day what do YOU want :!:  :!:

Well I've thought long and hard, and also started to do a bit of a mini service on the truck!!

I'm keeping what I've got.  8)

Cheers for the replies.

Now where is that Scorpion/Bearmach/Devon4x4 list of toys that I want??  :lol:

Disco does all that too!!!

I'm a die hard 90 fan but to be honest you have to love them before they seem a better idea than a disco. The disco is all round the better motor for everything, except the one obvious. And then there's not *that* much of an advantage to be had (they are the "same" motor when you look underneath).

In fact for working out the back of, the 90's crap. The rear door is pathetic and the shape of the tub is rubbish nothing stays put on the arches and ends up in a heap in the middle. The disco door is the size of russia and the boots nice and square if a bit small. I have worked out the back of both of mine, can't even get the tool box into the 90 without turning it through 90 degrees.

Having said all that, the 90 puts a grin on my face that no other motor ever could and that's before I get it off the drive!!
