General Comments:

I love driving the Land Rover! Not as bad on gas as I was expecting.. It is big and I like all the windows and the 2 sunroofs. I'm a bigger guy, so the room in side is perfect for me. Really in the 2 years I have owned it, not much in the way of problems. When I bought it, I put new shocks, muffler and tires on it and have only had to replace the right exhaust manifold for about $300.. I get all my work done on it at a local garage.. There is no Land rover dealer in my home town.. Has always started in the cold i.e. -40oc.. Put a new battery in it.. It does have leaks.. But I still only have to change the oil every 3 months with no problems.. Sunroof rattles a lot, but I have read that is a common problem because of the rails.. Interior is great! Nice leather seats. One thing is the bottoms of the front seats, It is common for them to be broken.. Mine were broken, I don't really notice it.. I have not had to put tires on it since new.. Put regular unleaded with no problems at all. Great SUV.. Would recommend if you don't mind paying the gas, because it is not cheap on gas.. Lots of room.. Have had it out 4X4 a few times.. Great for that of course!!

How long have you got?

Head light dropped out, windscreen leaked, immobilizer had a life of its own. Rust bubbles and dodgy door seals.

Where to start.

With this Disco' I enjoy a love hate relationship.

Off road, only a tank is better, or maybe a Range Rover.

The front seats are comfortable and the visibility is very good. In the back however, it's a different story. The rear passenger access doors look big, but the gap between the door pillar and the seats is very small, and you have to be a bit agile to wriggle your way in. Once in the back, the leg room is somewhat limited and the seats are not the best.

The loading bay is very spacious, but the back door is enormous! If the wind catches it while you're opening it, be careful! It's like a huge metal and glass sail with a wheel bolted on. The Range Rover's split tailgate is better. The Disco would benefit from a similar design, either one up, one down, like the Range Rover or outwards like most vans. It should be fitted with stays too, to prevent it blowing shut on you. That hurts, A LOT!! Opening the tailgate on hills is a dodgy exercise as well. Just make sure that the car's leaning to the right or you'll never get in the boot.

The TD5 isn't too bad on fuel, but the performance is woeful; large warships will out accelerate the Disco' diesel. This makes overtaking a stunt form and not a pleasure. That said, once up to speed, the Disco' happily barrels along with everyone else.

Head gaskets; many minor things that keep me up at night.

Get an honest and good mechanic. The thing is, this truck will never let you down when needed. Like I said, this truck will run through anything. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

My computer keys are not working properly.

It's a truck first. Remember that.
