Well, after 4 years of good service, my rebuilt salvage cert. Disco finally ate it at 150K. Power loss, oil smoke, and sounds like a gremlin with a ball peen hammer banging on the block. Haven't drained the oil yet, but expecting to find bearing remains. It has been a servicable truck, but I just don't have the time or space to pull the motor and it really wouldn't be worth my while when done.
I know there are several here that have Discos, so if anyone is interested in a complete 96 with 150K, r-title, and a motor knock, PM me. I am putting it on Craigslist for 1,000 OBO--that includes the ARB warn mount front bull bar, rear ladder, safari-style roof rack(not in pic)--decent tires(spare was bought 4-years ago and has never been down). It is epsom green/tan cloth interior and has the rear jump seats. I am in Pittsburgh.
