Sad day, well thanks for all your effort you piled into her, it was a learning and entertaining experience. I surely understand and fear one day I'll be faced with my own discos inevitability as the mileage continues to grow. These trucks definitely stand out as one of kind. Maybe another one with a good history will cross your path. I will not be unsubscribing and will continue to follow your adventures down under.
just sold mine a couple weeks ago after i realised it wasn't worth the money and effort to fix. lost half my money on it in a year 🤣. thanks for the vids mate i used a few and they were very helpful
Sad day mate, it'll be like saying goodbye to one of the family. Your content has been invaluable to many D3/4 owners , myself included, around the world so many many thanks for all your graft over the years. Looking forward to the Patrol's evolution...🙂
It’s a sad day when you have to Let her go but understandable. Your videos continue to inspire and help me. Sincere thanks brother. Love the Patrol looking forward to seeing more on that.
Body off is easy mate. Takes about 5 hours plug and play on your first go to get it off. I took mine off replaced all the stuff that needed doing in one go. Front and rear timing belt, water pump, ac pump, plus pump, rear crossover etc etc took 4 days. Not that hard nor expensive.
Well at least it gave you plenty of content. My 2014 Disco 4 has been very reliable but then its only done 115,000km and I only drive it on long distance trips. I did subscribe for the Disco content but I will stick around. Good luck parting it out. That would make good content in itself just to see what parts people are after.
poor old disco. Must be somebody on your channel over your way wit ha 2 post lift to get the body off and fix that cross over pipe. Mind you I need to get a full rebuild done on my transmission including a new TC so that is going to be very $$$$, I love the vehicle and there is nothing else out there that suits what I need the truck for so I keep on fixing it. I don't do off road, tow a 4m enclosed trailer and just my daily drive.
She's lived a hard life with half the time I've owned it living in the Pilbara, so plenty of kms travelled across crappy dirt roads. Its just gotten to the point where I can no longer rely on it for the travelling I like to do. Hasnt left me stranded in 10 years but its probably only a matter of time.
As a touring vehicle its been great, had a few issues along the way but its a Land Rover so not all that unexpected. It's hard to find a modern vehicle thats as capable, comfortable, quiet etc.. straight off the showroom floor - expect maybe the newer Land Rover, but I don't really feel like touching those as it appears reliability is about on par with this one, or maybe a bit worse.
@@Shanes_Shed They're very great busses, used to wheel with a mate who had a very tough one back in the day, very capable rigs. Still the Sahara 80 series Cruiser 1997 HDJ80R is the best of all fourbies imho I had the 97 40th anniversary HDJ80R auto it was a beast, owned it from when it was about 7 years old! sad to swap it for a near new vy ss commondoor haha
Thanks Shane.....just got rid of my D3 cost of repairs is massive, insurance and tax in uk is crippling...... love them but you need stupid funds to keep reliable?? Besg get a toyota now !! Good luck mate

Well thanks for sticking around. I always find it sad to let go of a car - I love them all regardless of their faults

All good if you have a lift to do it. Plus I was only going to sell it afterwards anyway so no biggie
@@Shanes_Shed very true!
You have done well to keep the old girl going that many K’s

Yeah, I'll be sure to share. I'm sure the content I've created will be useful for many people to come!
440k is pretty good anyway. Good looking vehicle!
And I put well over half of those kms on it too

@@Shanes_Shed understand that mate, especially with the family in it.
Looks like you had a great time with it, love the photos at the end... really does look like a great rig

You can make a few videos pulling things off.
Its possible, I'll probably do an advice video for prospective buyers of D3/4's as well
Vale Disco. Awesome contribution to the knowledge base.
Thanks Richard!

The Toyota thing might actually come true - although it would be in form of an 80 series and not any of their newer stuff
UK road tax - don't get me started!
