Wonder if that is on the same engine.
One of the ex traffic officer d4s came up on eBay recently. Think it had done 268k and was up for sale at a very reasonable £6.5k. Poverty spec though....

Great stuff
3rd photo in:-
Budget constraints meant it shared many features with the Range Rover, including the chassis, suspension, body frame, inner door panels and even windscreen.
Not to mention Marina / Ital. door handles and Sherpa Van headlights

And those Maestro van rear lamps! Never thought that was a great idea, as it meant a the rear corners of the Disco had to take on the same shape as the Maestro van - which wasn't a great look  2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
