I would stick with the Disco.  90 t/cab is awfully impractical, shove a pair of wellies and a bucket in the back and its full!  And winter is coming, oh the joy of trying to keep a 90 screen from misting up.

He, he, its character 'till you are stood at 6 in the morning trying to get the old bitch clear enough so you can set off to work.  I love my 90 and wouldn't swap it for anything but driving with the window down at -5 with a cr@p heater and ducking to see through the clear bit in the windscreen is not fun :lol: .

Its frightening how little money Disco's are worth these days.  Its a case of luck and finding somebody who realises what the mods are.  Go on autotrader for an idea but be preapared for a shock :shock:

keep it, my uncle has got a 90 and i can get most places he can and then i over take him on the way home :lol:  and also as metioned earlier the heaters are so much better on a disco and they are comfy when driving. i have thought about it so many times and i admit that one does look nice on ebay, but dont do it :lol:

From someone who has both. Keep the disco. I never liked the disco until deciding it met certain criteria and buying one (always thought it as a bit of a shop and drop car if you get my drift). Now I can see why every disco driver looks a smug git at the off road sites even if they are stuck on something you've just driven over. 90's are great at one or two things, they are rubbish at most others. The disco is above average at most things, all round much more versatile motor.
Having said all that, it'll be a cold day in hell before I get shut of my 90!!
Cheers, Karl..


Listen mate, you've more chance of a go on the wife than you have of a go in my truck.

I'd love a 90 but there's just not enough room in one for me.

The Disco has it for me.
