2000 Land Rover Discovery S from North America
Summary:
As loved as the family pet
Faults:
Lifters needed replacing.
Transfer box was leaking.
Wiper blade came off in the rain and scratch the windsheild.
General Comments:
The best thing about buying a Land Rover was the generous warranty. We have never had any problems in correcting issues we found and were amazed that the dealership pointed out areas that needed to be addressed while under warranty.
This is one heavy vehicle as the gas gage will attest. My neighborhood's gas station attendant and I are now on a first name basis. Premium unleaded gas only... bit of irony here as this machine is made to tackle the most difficult and remote terrain and should run on swamp water!
The fact that the Discovery comes with almost every option in the book as standard, the double sunroof is fantastic.
We run to our Disco to see who gets to drive it when we're together! A complete pleasure, very comfortable and tons of room (3 people, luggage, an 8-person oval shaped teak patio table with 6 teak chairs, Thanksgiving leftovers, 1 potato launcher (another story all together:) ) and jars of preserves).
We pledge allegiance to our Land Rover and in Land Rover we trust.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Yeah, It's a good car. I've got a Disco 2 TD5, but my neighbour's Volvo V70XC is better. I love the Disco and won't change, but for day to day stuff, the Volvo stuffs pretty much everything. Don't get me wrong, my mates Volvo isn't the best car in the world, especially on major off road stuff or deep water, but for safe, fast, reliable carry the world and still break the speed limit... it's unbeatable.
The Volvo is better than the Disco.. but I've got a Disco!
He's just a motorway muncher! No he isn't, he's got a much better car. The Volvo is a better car... I'll stick with the Disco!... The Volvo is a much better car!
I'll meet him in Yorkshire two days after he arrives... he'll have had a much better trip but I'll have my Disco! Disco rubbish! Volvo ACE!! I'll keep my Disco and hope for really really bad conditions! I'll pull him out, gloat and then he'll leave me for dead!
