Land Rover Discovery

* INITIAL NOTE * As many people may already know, I travel to a from the UAE, and often travel to Oman and the desert of Dubai, and by many 4 x 4 standards, truly off road (not dropping the kids off at school - the typical stereotype of the 4x4 use in Britain) In the UAE, A 4 x 4 although not essential, is generally purchased so that you can travel about freely (not all of the roads are tarmacked, and therefore if you have a low to the ground car it is likely to become damaged after rapid driving) * OUR CAR HISTORY * We travelled in a 1998 model, which was recently bought for AED 42,750 ( or approximately £7000). With a good service ...  Read the complete review

Don't bother to expect service from landrover main dealers unless you are very rich, although you probably are if you re in a landrover main dealer. The have no interest in your satisfaction unless it leads to them selling you a new car. Of course most Landrover owners will have problems and surely the main dealers should be working to try and iron these problems out. But I gather they don't even report to landrover even when they have a problem that every owner has. I have a discovery with a peeling dashboard, a problem with all pre "R" reg discos and even though landrover advertise they will get it fixxed for free my main dealer is not interested ...  Read the complete review

Well what can I say we were loaned a Discovery not just any discovery a brand new Discovery 2 HLS. This was because we had a small accident in our beloved Range Rover so it was not that we were not used to driving such a large vehicle that I write this particular review. I have to say I hated the whole experience, it was to say the least with a very glad heart when we had to give it back. Where to start.? The outside looked the part nice shiney new reasonably good looking for the squarish shape. The inside well that was something else entirely, Plastic dashboard and fittings vinyl everywhere with bits of leather in some places. ...  Read the complete review

During the last 20 years I had all sorts of cars; Opel GT, Audi 80 and 100, Mitsubishi, Volkswagen, Porsche 111...(I had a rich boyfriend once, you see...), but I never dreamt of driving a Landrover. I came to England some 4 years ago and a friend of mine introduced me to his Landrover. Hmm, quite comfy, I thought...but nothing for me. This friend offered me his landrover for a good price a while later. I was in need of a new car anyway, so I bought it. The first driving-hour was weird. The Landrover Discovery TDI sounded like a truck and felt somehow different. I was a bit frightened to be honest. But after one hour I was hooked. I love it! It's the best ...  Read the complete review

We have a touring caravan and two children and so when we changed our car last time we needed somethng that had the pulling power combined with the room to accomodate all the gubbins that comes with a couple of sprogs. Another consideration for us was economy becuse we do use the car quite a lot around and about town,days out, hols etc. The Disco Tdi has it all. With about 32 to the gallon most of the time solo and around 25 towing our Disco comes close to our previous ordinary family saloon. It has plenty of room both front and back so long journeys are a dream because leg room is never compromised. Perhaps the only downfall is the boot which, although very ...  Read the complete review
