Talk to Will. http://willtillery.com/links_parts.html Be courteous and patient. And call during normal business hours.


I've been DD a W124 with an OM606 N/A. It's a beautiful engine, but needs the turbo from a W210 in a bad way

Did Will just move from Danville Va to Lexington Va? Thought I heard a rumor to that extent months, if not a year ago.

I should call him for my window guides.....lost my old ones.

I was planning on popping a Eaton onto the 606....but I've been made an offer on another powerplant I can't refuse. Should take care of all my lack of power issues.

Winter is coming....

I find myself typing "rover" into Craigslist a lot these days.

This was me last year. I bought a $600 P38 and drove it all winter then sold it in the spring after I bough my wrangler. I quickly realized I needed another Rover so I bought a $700 RRC. I guess I have a problem lol.

Hey Rover Buddy's!

What do you think of this?

Run away? Or go check it out?

Thanks!

Worth a looksy.

Wonder what "module" he's referring to..... . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Sounds like the Body Electrical Control Module (BeCM). He said there is an issue with the lights because of it... I looked up the repair and it seems pretty straight forward....

Hmmmmmm. I think I'll check it out this weekend unless someone convinces me otherwise.

So, a friend has a 2003 Disco II that just got wrecked up a little. Needs front bumper, grills, headlight, fender, hood, etc. Needs a replacement rear wheel and tire. Battery is dead and may need some ignition harness repair or replacement but all in all clean car. I think I can get it for $500. Should I?

I've been researching for a while. I know the 2003's have the potential to shit out at any time requiring a new engine. Shuold I just hold out for an early model Disco II from the BMW era? I want as little maintenance as possible. Wont be offroading much just beating aroudn town and doing stupid shit. Occasional trail riding.

It's certainly worth a look. I had a P38 that was beat to shit but still loved that Rover. BeCM's can be re-built, I'm trying to think of the guys name who will do it. I think you would need to ship it out, not sure if they do a core swap type of thing.

There has been a Vienna Green P38 in up state NY for sometime on CL, needed some work but I've always loved that color. I think it was for pretty cheap too.

If I were in the market and in the NE I'd def go look at this one. Sweet Rhino Edition.

Well the owner got real sketchy and stopped responding to me, so I bought a 2000 Outback Wagon 5MT for the winter. Range Rover dreams will have to wait for now.

What do you guys think is wrong with this thing? If i can get it for less than a grand, I could part it out and make 3-4k right? That fucking bumper alone is worth 600.

Low miles, looks like it is in decent shape. If you don't mind the salvage title (I wouldn't) and the price is right I say why not?

[slammin.e28]

I wonder WTF happened mechanically to that thing for it to cost over $7k to fix.

Someone probably overheated it and slipped a cylinder liner.

Oh shit, I didn't see the est. repair costs. I take back what I said earlier. You can buy a perfectly fine Disco II for way less than $7k.

...but that's a parts and labor estimate for a shop to do it. Easily could do that for under half that with a used motor.

Unless you get a nice long block with top hat sleeves from Atlantic British. That'd be the way to go.....but it's money.
