Land rover discovery`s....
« on: 15 July 2010, 21:32:28 »
Any hints or tip on em guys....I might get shot of the miggy once i`ve got the money off the solicitors...I`m considering the 2.5 td versions as i fancy something big and comfy and suitable for me and mrs bertie`s runaround... ;D ;D..... Although i aint quite given up on the idea of owning a late plate 2.5 td miggy estate either ::) ::).... ;)

Get a landcruiser, i've had it with landrovers, getting rid of my 1994 Discovery via a grinder as i've had enough of sorting it, be it welding or parts going tits up, jap is the way forward, you pays your money and get what you pay for.

Can't fault the landcruiser, 4.2TD and relative luxury compared to most landrovers of old, can and does go the places landrovers go, theres a reason that there used a lot in hot sunny country's ;)

Don't bother with a Disco unless its a 3 or 4 series Old ones rust for England.
Buy the best 3/4 you can afford, cos one of those is every car you'll ever need.
