are they as bad as everyone says they are about rust?

I don't care about engine reliability or anything mechanical, I just wanna know about the rust.

a few of us are looking at getting a proper dedicated shooting vehicle to get around a permission one has in mid wales. a disco has the off road capability and is comfy enough to drive there on the road, space in the boot for the guns and my dog comfortably and are going for reasonable money atm.

how much time am I going to spend welding it if most of its life is spent in a wet muddy field

depends on what you get in the first place what disco are you talking about 200tdi 300tdi td5 td5 face lift etc.
200/300 tdi are better for long life you can get good jap import ones but you will be paying £5000 for a minter
or you will be doing a lot of welding boot floor sills inner wings floors back arches better off with a pajero for what you need

was looking at a 300tdi, bit of cosmetic stuff needs doing, few dents and scratches around it, engine is solid, 4wd is solid, needs tyres and tax. don't know price yet but not expecting it to be much

300tdi will fetch up to £600 plus as a scrapper set of off road tyres good ones £500 better off looking at the deals in 4x4 mags for a set

im expecting him to ask for around 850 as there isn't any welding (yet) that needs doing. seen a few shoguns for sale for around 1500 that need work and I think I might know someone with a project shogun for around 500 quid. shall have to keep digging
