Land Rover Discovery Td5 in general Reviews

People buy 4x4 vehicles for a number of reasons. Some people do buy them because of a genuine need for a vehicle which can get them through mud-plugged fields and up or down severe inclines but being realistic this is probably not a high percentage of 4x4 sales. There are probably four market sectors which cover the 4WD market. Firstly ...  Read the complete review

The Land Rover Discovery. It's been around for years now, and you can hardly drive down your own street without seeing one. Mind, that's some of the attraction of them - it's not that common to see a G-reg Japanese off-roader still out and about nowadays, but the roads are awash with Discoveries of this age. To me, that says something. ...  Read the complete review

No car is as well equipped as an off-roader to handle the school run. Vehicles built to wade through rivers up to the windscreen in water, like Land Rover’s Discovery and the Vauxhall Monterey, should be able to handle car-sickness or muddy football boots. The Land Rover’s classy image is helped by the thick-rimmed wheel and ...  Read the complete review

Buying one of these was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I had wanted one for many years but when I actually got the top of the range model with 2 sun roofs I wished that I had bought the base model without any. Whenever it rained both sunroofs let in water and it spilled out into the interior of the vehicle through the electric lights or ...  Read the complete review

The New Discovery is a quantum leap over its predecessor. Styling, although similar, creates a sharper overall package. The two main improvements have been in the handling and build-quality departments. Where the old Discovery was wallowy, this one is much firmer and can hold a line without inducing mild sweats; it can still soak up potholes ...  Read the complete review

For me, the landover combined bad points from several of it's class-mates. It is not half as classy as the Range-Rover, but has nearly as bad a fuel consumption. The Range rover does 9 miles to the gallon, the LandRover only 15. Both very very poor when you consider that the freelander does 35 miles to the gallon. So, while you have to pay as ...  Read the complete review

Discovery, 2.5 turbo diesel, 1998 Vomit. I nearly did. This is the worst test drive I have ever had and as I cut short the experience after just fifteen minutes, the puke was on it's way up. The blancmange chassis was too much to stand unless an iron constitution was in hand. I don't have one of those, so the ...  Read the complete review

When I were just a wee lad, knee high to a grasshopper I had just two goals in life. One was to be an airline pilot and the other was to be a lorry driver. When I got my Discovery it was like realising both dreams at the same time. You sit in just about the best driving position of any car I've driven. You could certainly be excused ...  Read the complete review
