In season 6 episode 17 of Wheeler Dealers, the team takes on an iconic off-roading vehicle with a lot of potential - the Land Rover Discovery TDI. This particular vehicle is known for its reliability and tough exterior, but also for its fairly outdated technology and interior design.
The hosts Mike and Edd start by examining the vehicle's exterior and under the hood to see what kind of work needs to be done. They quickly realize that despite some wear and tear, the Discovery is in good condition and has a lot of potential to be a great restoration project.
The first order of business is to address the vehicle's suspension, which has some issues and needs to be replaced. The team then moves on to the interior, choosing to focus on updating the technology and making the car more comfortable to ride in.
One of the challenges they face is finding replacement parts for the Land Rover, as many of the components are unique to this specific model and can be difficult to source. However, the team is up to the challenge and works tirelessly to find the right parts and make the necessary repairs.
Throughout the episode, viewers get a firsthand look at the restoration process, which includes everything from removing the seats and replacing the carpets to rebuilding the transmission. The team also takes the vehicle out for a test drive to ensure everything is working as it should.
As the episode draws to a close, Mike and Edd have transformed the Land Rover Discovery TDI into a comfortable and reliable off-roading machine, complete with all the modern technology and features a driver could want. Overall, this episode of Wheeler Dealers is a great showcase of the team's expertise and the potential that lies in classic cars.
