I would sell the disco, not only do you have the value to think of but if you decide to sell the Zed you have to think you would probably still have it up for sale come January or February yet if you sold the disco you could have it sold and money banked by this day next week. Sorry to hear things have gotten into this situation but needs must.

Ditch the Disco, and buy a ZT Tourer or 75 Tourer as the estate.
We use and rely on a ZT-T daily, and it's been brilliant. Diesel auto, for maximum lazyness too.

I have considered an auto ZT-T but not many out there at the moment. Other options being an Audi A6 estate or a Merc estate. Not many others that float my boat tbh. Disco 2 too long in the tooth after a 3 and still demand strong money for a decent one. BMW 5 series is another option but again a little dated for the budget I have in mind.

Thanks for all the input guys, it was as suspected but needed a nudge. Just a case of when to do the deed as waiting on some fill-in jobs to come to fruition. Was hoping to keep the Disco into January as intended to drive to the airport for the holiday in January, good chance of snow then and the 4x4 would be ideal!

Will look to swap out the private plates, change the wheels back etc. I'll have another one day for sure. It is a superb car and I will miss it if the time comes.

Sorry to hear this Mick - but I agree with other advice given...

The ZS just won't return the sort of safety net you need - even if you get top dollar for it.

Hope the job hunting finds something to avoid the requirement to sell the disco.

The time is getting close to letting the Discovery go. But on the brightside I was informed I have been invited for an interview Monday morning. Decent job spec, production manager. I had an agency call me about this role on Wednesday which hadn't gone live on any of the job sites so got in there quick! Kathy got shat on by a bird yesterday so that to me was an omen!

I also had a telephone interview recently so things are a little positive so hopefully the new year will be something to focus on and look forward to. There may be a slim chance I can keep the Disco as hate to see it go. If it doesn't work out I am prepared for what comes and already looking at cheap motors for a possible commute or get around as can't use the zed too much as it is on a classic policy plus it's too hard for everyday use!
