Land Rover Disco ?

[Addz131 7]

So my Citroen saxo is struggling off road with all this rain ? I'm looking at buying a second hand land rover disco td5 but I dont no much about them I don't want to google it because the internet is all doom and gloom about everything I'm going to spend around 5-6 grand on a 2004 model any advice would be welcome cheers add.

Avoid Landrovers at all costs

You would be better of buying a well looked after 300 tdi than a td 5 ,too many electronics to go wrong.

Honestly mate, I had a 200tdi on a k plate. I loved it would go anywhere good on juice, shit loads of room. Just 1 slight problem with it. It was on bloody ramps more times than it was on tarmac, I could of bought a new version how much money id spent on new parts, it was nearly a new jeep by the time id finished with it. But as most things enough was enough and I sold it on. Would I buy another 1 tho ? In a heart beat lol but the mrs would kill me cheers hh

Hahaha yea my missis it's to keen on a land rover either but she's even less impressed each time I take her car up the farm I'm just stuck for a good 4x4 I will also be using to drive to work once a week down the motor way so it has to be comfy to

It's a bit of a minefield.

 

I ended up buying a Range Rover P38 2001 and like you said there was loads of doom and gloom about them on the internet but it's been the best car I've ever owned.

 

Only problem is feeding the 4.6l V8 engine

Owned a td5 2000 model...lovely motor. .towed the caravan all over UK. ..main problem was the price of parts. ..The tdi more reliable and half the price for parts. ..

The aussies have a saying if you want to go outback. Get a landrover.

If you want to get back. Get a landcrusier. Lol

 

Disco are great new with a warranty !!!!

If your going to spend 5 or 6 grand with that budget I'd look for a land rover 90 on a galv chassis with a 200 TDI engine. No chassis repairs to worry about and a very reliable engine too, simple to fix and parts are peanuts. It will a lot more fun and hold its value too!

Landrover=utter shit, unreliable, expensive and need more than just "a good pair of boots" to go anywhere.

if you can drive a landrover proper , a good set of tyres on one will get you any where

I had a 2002 Td5 which to be honest I did like, but wouldn't have another, constantly needing new parts. It had over £7k's worth of receipts!

 

I now drive a series landcruiser diesel.....And 5 grand would get you a nice one...

 

Failing that I would go for a hilux or landcruiser Colorado, but neither comes close to the !
