That looks good! I love the earlier discos! So much better looking than the current monstrosity!

Love what you are doing with the channel - Saving cars, having fun and running a good honest business. I think you have found the perfect balance. You no longer have to work because you have found your passion in life. You know what they say if you enjoy what you do you never work a day in your life. Not saying its not hard work but you enjoy what you do and share it with us all.

Looks great, I'm glad you tried the owatrol polytrol, the best thing about it is that it actually lasts.

Great video James really enjoyed seeing the transformation of the Discovery, as with all of your cars it looks immaculate now 👍

Great effort and looks amazing. Just happens I have a 2003 TD5 auto, same colour and has brush guards over lights. Very happy to see a classic come to life.

Wow just wow. Great job James. I'm sure that will sell in a heartbeat.

Truly amazing transformation. Doesn’t look like it’s had a hard life. Good luck with it. If I was local ….. and could convince the wife I would be on it like a shot!

What a smashing transformation there James. As you truly said it’s got to be one of the best on the market. 👍👏👌

Really enjoy your channel and content James - thank you.👍👍

Top work, very impressive transformation & I loved the fact that you put it all together in one vlogg. Very entertaining 👍👍

I had one of these on an 02 plate. I spent time and money to get the vehicle up to a good standard. Continues maintenance is the key to these Discoveries. Mine took us all over Europe towing a heavy caravan and never let us down, she was on 85,000 miles when I sold her. Chassis rust is the killer for these, find a good one and they will go on and on. Yours did not not have the sunroof so no loss there as they always leak, I sealed mine up. I now have a D4 Discovery bought new in 2016 this D4 has given me some problems but it's an awesome vehicle is the D4.

Looks absolutely brilliant! If I had the money I would buy that like a shot.

Wow James ! Great job - it'll sell fast.

Excellent job James , looks really good .

What a difference look’s amazing job well done 👍

Very cool, great transformation.

Wow what a difference, probably one of the nicest Discos available 👍👌

Beauty !!!!! The best 4x4 ever !!!!! You can go every day to your work an you can go to hardest terrain !!!! Nice work !!!!

That Land Rover is like the Chops garage version of stars in your eyes. It's come up brilliantly.

It's come up lovely, perfect picture spec👍 We all like eye candy and the pictures will surely catch a punters eye.

I enjoyed this old-school video, and a black diamond has emerged from the rough.

Amazing transformation

Great job really transformed the look of that Disco. Bet it took a hell of lot of man hours though but the results speak for themselves.

Oooh, you do like a challenge James..... You also need to check the state of the door handles on these James. They sometimes get scraped on the road during cornering...... Seven seat option does broaden it's appeal a lot..... It never fails to impress how much difference a good proper professional clean-up makes.....

Well done discovery looks good 🚘🚙🚗👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was responsible for foundry tooling approval of Landrover storm TD5 head from 95-96ish launch of the Engine until 05ish.

You are lucky in your part of the country, people obviously look after their cars, this landy is a rare one very good original condition

Hi , a nice clean up tidy and hoover , some paint on the plastics , adds a few £££s , well done a great make over .😉👍

Wow. What a transformation.

turned out great,that's only going to go up in value as it gets older

Well done chopper 👍

Looks great mate, hope that trim stuff last better than just back to black, that looks a mess when it rains, I've got some gell that seems to last ok.

James - the junior Lords and Ladies are best suited to those folding seats - of course there are drinks holders even they need somewhere to put a GandT or Brandy - root around and you will find a hidden gun rack for their Purdy's lol

I'm feeling some some deja vu watching this 😄

new handbrake and gear gaiters are cheap enough on ebay james, would bring the interior up lovely

Hehehe Pinky and Perky singing in background @ 10:38 , great work James

Love the make over…. Now down to mechanics of it.. 🤞

That's an awesome disco.

Hi James, would really love to know what products you use for cleaning / detailing 🙂

All good with me mate

Polished up a dream.

Wow that plastic cleaner looks the dogs doo dars. Lovely looking car, forget the age its the mileage

Feels like I watched this before 🤔 #DeJaVu - came out lovely, good work James

These are what we do on my channel. To get one with that just needs a clean and tidy is a big bonus

Pursuit was a close out model from Land Rover before the Discovery 3 came out in 2004/5 - the Pursuit has the cloth interior - the Landmark released at the same time - came with Leather interior...

Hi James I use that plastic restorer on my grp panels of caravan. Thought I'd see how good it is on pvc double glazing unbelievable like new. Only down side I've ended up doing 4 houses on my street. Pvc doors come up best.

Excellent 👍 subbed 😊

For cars that have a following like that Disco you are on a better bet than your average basket case.

What a transformation James 👏. Has to be close to being a keeper 🤔👍

Nice!!!

Pursuit was the end of production run along with the Landmark which had leather and higher spec. Pursuits are popular among the devotees to D2s as they don’t have sunroofs, which eliminates the wet floors and footwell rot that you get with sunroof models. Only downside to the late D2’s was the chassis, they were terrible, and not as good as the earlier D2’ or D1’s. Great truck though, super job on it and unicorn rare low miles!!

Hi James,I think you're getting a bit better at this game now🤣what a transformation then and now it's like a different vehicle,should sell pretty quick if it hasn't already👌👍

amazing landi clean up be sold in days mate

The chipmunk high speed music lol 😂

Did you have to wipe off the brush marks after treating the plastics?

Anything actually done to prepare it mechanically? Oils, fluids, filters sensors etc?

James you trade all the challenges, but I agree

I'd buy that land rover, but (a) I don't really need it and (b) nowhere to keep it. But looks great James

I'm late to this party but, hey, that is a very nice looking Disco 2. It helps to have a decent one to start with ! What about the mechanicals? Okay?

Looks great but no mention of sorting out the mot advisory’s ? Had many Disco 2s and the chassis is the biggest problem

Looks really nice now but has it had a lot of repair work done underneath as its last MOT in Dec 21 identified a list of advisory suspension and chassis corrosion issues?

It's had lots of welding but then they all have I must have owned 4 or 5 of these in the past I paid between £900 and £1600 the prices have gone up now

Discocery is still available to buy?

It’s a Land Rover…just run it in and sell it…that’ll be around in 50 years

Nice one James there sometimes money in anything mate they even sell horse shit nowadays lol 😂

...and the windows go up and down - on command? Could even be a good buy :)

thats come up a treat thanks to your keen and professional staff,,😊😊,thats a lovely old beast James and the plastic reviver looks very good,,by the way did the brush marks show when it all dried or did you end up using a cloth ???

Careful not to fire too many part cannons at that - they are like a black hole for cash 🕳 - spit, polish and move it on :-)

Hi! Richard here 🤕 You’re doing well with car sales! Are you going to AlfaRagazzi/Barnum Engines on Tuesday at all? John Roberts will be taking me their.....Hope to see you on Tuesday.

At least it hasn't got a sunroof, they are notorious for leaking, and hard to fix, 😂🤣👍

I enquired about this car a few days ago but you never got back to me...

Majority of photo's (interior especially) taken on that ramp outside the unit looks weird. Better off taking photo's on flat ground. That last shot with it looking askew worked though, gave it an "off road" appeal.

😎👍👍👏

What is that black trim restorer liquid you are using?

1:46 We're in hot pursuit! Cyud-yud-yud! 😁👍

Looks nice and tidy now.These cars dont have a good reputation though.I think they use the air suspension thats a headache if it fails and the engines are not the best of the bunch.I like them as a vehicle but an old one would probably not consider to be honest.They also suffer rotted chasis rails and bad electrics.On the bright side this one seems ok but knowing what I know would not buy buts thats just me.Very poular and in full fitness very good machines to fair but even the TD has a bad drinking habit by todays prices of diesel.The mix of an agricultural vehicle and a car you can zip up a motorway in will always be a bit of a compromise I suppose which you could argue a 1970,s Range Rover was back then even.Those cars are worth alot now for a good one but again they had the 3.5 v8 which is not so much in favour now for obvious reasons.Even a rover sd1 with a 2.3 or 2.6 are getting better money than a 3.5.

….. oh discovery …… oh dear ……. 😱

Ot looks beautiful but have you checked the head and injectors as it had the high oil level?

hi chops garage how much is the small silver car the turbo one 1.30 thanks

Looks nice, but the customer who will buy it will most likely have issues with it. Btw, i thought you where going to go thru the mot history?

The proof of the pudding will now be does it reach the £5,995 asking price Must say that brush on restorer looks good Some detailers use Acrylic on the plastics I believe You seem willing to try out different product to achieve the desired result

An old Disco is always tempting, it looks rugged and manly, and that model isn't rammed with electric gizmos that will fail and cost a fortune to put right. On the down side, big old gas guzzler (surely not ULEZ compliant?) and let's be honest it will break down. Plus a bugger to park up in cities. Still, I find it strangely appealing!🤔

Did you check the date code on the spare? It's history suggests it's not an 18 year old tyre, but I'd be looking to see if there was a 120 quid to knock off.

Any back story why the logbook was reissued 12 months ago? YW04 BCK is 262g/km For cars reg between March2001 and March2017 that’s a jaw dropping £600/annum VED. Still that’s probably chump change for anyone used to fuelling it. 15-20mpg??

Hi there James, what is your price for the Disco please? Regards, Gary

How old was the spare? Did it need replacing due to age?

Good turn around, not a fan of the wet look but horses for courses , would of looked better with a light tint to the head lights 👍😉

What's the difference between a ding and a dent? 😂

It's a D2,nobody cares about faded plastics of scratches.. As long as the body and chassis is sound and it runs ok that's all that's needed.

Rear offside wheel arch liner has been ripped out, mudflap looks like it's hanging in mid air. Probably a tidy car when you've done your magic, but personally I won't ever entertain a Land rover product again. Probably the reason I imported my Pajero in 2005, its everything a Land rover isn't.. and that is very " Reliable".!

Would have been nice to see close ups of rear chassis...shock mounts etc. I bet that old girl aint as good as it looks.

masochism 😂😂😂

U no it not a basket case

Looks great apart from the tire shine. Glossy tires make any car look cheesy.

U jammy sod less than.90k. I bet u give 2k its got to be 8k

I would sooner like a engine with a little dust on it rather then a engine bay sprayed down with that greasy plastic spray that auto dealers think looks nice and detailed. Please STOP using that spray that makes a engine plastic looking fake and greasy.

My nephew wants to take this jeep to Poland 🇵🇱 is a trade sale available i did message you
