....I just bought a Series II 109 off this guy, and told him i'd pass along the ad to his 95 Disco along to you guys. Its a nice truck, saw it in person. Well done. The diesel engine has some issues. From what he described, sounds like either a fuel pump issue our injector timing issue. Nice guy.

Truck is located in Freeland, MD. I'm picking up the 109 Monday probably, so if there were any additional pics anybody wanted to get of the Disco, i'll take my camera along.

i inquired on it..
heres what he said.
Installed diesel my self with a conversion kit from australia
154000 on the vehicle 80000 on the motor but motor has a small
vibration to it not sure whats causing it if its internal with engine
or mounts are not quite holding it tight enough.

I was kind of thinking the vibration could be a mistime by the injector. Sprays to late in compression the burn is inefficient and the next cycles holds an unbalanced wallup. But that based of my experience with tractors, so I could be wrong. He just told me it vibrated erraticly.

Just figured I'd pass it along.

Keep thinking how cool this would be if that engine problem was something simple.

Don't worry, I have no desire. Two Rovers are enough.

I would like some of the parts off that.

Was this guy's place right next to the middle school on York Road?

Now where did you get a silly idea like that?

When I started trying to maintain them. It doesn't help the serenity of marriage when your other car is a Honda and the wife wonders why it never needs anything versus the Rovers needing everything.

No that guy is actually a mobile veterinarian. He uses those Rovers as his "mobile" part. When one needs fixed, he just loads up another and drives it while the other gets fixed. He's got like 5 disco's or something.

The guy with the diesel disco is 4 miles west of the freeland rd. exit off 83. He actually lives in Aberdeen, its his parents farm. By the way, the guy sells military surplus vehicles for a living.

You get that too? :)

Actually it was my wife that convinced me I should keep the Hunter.
