300 tdi auto, too many to choose !!!

Hi everyone, can anyone tell me the reliability and fuel consumption of an early 300tdi Auto disco, and the specification differance between ES, GS and XS models? I have owned 200tdi manual disco for 4 years and I,m well pleased with it, Land rovers are FANTASTIC motors, so if I upgrade in the future I,d like to know what to look for.

By comparison to a TDi 200, the TDi 300 auto will seem rather juicy - we used to get 36mpg out of our 200manual but about 32mpg is what I get out of my modified 300 auto. 300 is a more refined vehicle.

Out of the models you list, the range starts off with GS (leccy windows,locks & mirrors, manual sunroofs), then XS (GS plus half leather, foglights and wheel arch covers) then all-singing ES (XS plus full leather, electric seats, sunroofs, often heated seats and sometimes front screen, improved sound).

Hope that helps
