Author Message   David Unregistered guest Posted on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 09:45 pm:    Thinking about trading my '94 defender in for a '02 Yellow Disco. I had it for 2 years now. I thought I was in love. But, if I add up all the bills for it, its really not worth the hassle anymore. Its repair after repair. So, what are ya'll opinion? David   R. B.

Straight across trade??

ALL ROVERS NEED TLC&$   David Unregistered guest Posted on Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 02:49 pm:    Phillip, I have put well over 3k in repairs the last year and half. Plus, I still have to fix oil pan leak, leak where the oil filter is,transfer case leak,power steering leak, replace throw out bearing, etc. Its getting old.   Phillip Perkinson (Rover4x4) Member Username: Rover4x4 Post Number: 21 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 04:56 pm:    I can imagine. How many miles on the truck? WHy not get another D-90?   David Marchand (Dmarchand) Senior Member Username: Dmarchand Post Number: 79 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 05:11 pm:    David, I trust that 3K wasn't spent at the dealer.... That would be a waste.   EricV (Bender2033) Advanced member Username: Bender2033 Post Number: 116 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 06:50 pm:    I'll trade you my 1996 SE7 for your D90! w00t!   David Unregistered guest Posted on Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 11:17 pm:    3k wasnt at the dealer, one of our club member is a mechanic. I have 63k on it now, I got it with 45k. If I ever got another 90 it definately would be a 97 automatic.I am driving a disco II right now as a daily driver and I like the automatic, since I work for ups and I have to drive a standard all day at work and my 90. I am looking at '02 Kalahari.   Normorsch2 Unregistered guest Posted on Friday, February 14, 2003 - 01:08 am:    I'll give you $500 and a half bottle of Wild Turkey 101. What do you say??? Honestly, oil leaks are your best friend and a big part of the LR experience -- as long as you have leaks you know you haven't run dry. Now if you have electrical gremlins, that's another story... ---Norm   george contrino (George10) New Member Username: George10 Post Number: 2 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Friday, February 14, 2003 - 07:00 pm:    interested in a 97 diso great condition + cash for trade?
