A few questions from a new member

Hi folks,

I'm new to the forum & would like to introduce myself.

I don't own a Land Rover yet but would like buy a Discovery TD5. I have a budget that means that I'm probably looking for something around '02 to '04 & would politely like to ask what I should be looking out for when viewing. Such as, problems I should look out for, how reliable are they, how expensive are parts etc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ok Vinnie, I'll try again.

I'm Tony & I'm getting frighteningly near to the big 50, I don't believe in all that star sign rubbish, my favourite colours are blue & amber - the colours of Shrewsbury Town FC, I enjoy both long walks & cosy nights in; as long as they are accompanied by a couple of real ales & I've never been to a gym.

I live with my partner Rachel, just outside Shrewsbury in the beautiful county of Shropshire. We have a 4 year old son who keeps me young in mind & very very tired in body. As a family we enjoy getting out in the fresh air, whether that's walking, camping or just having fun. I do enjoy a bit of fishing, growing my own veg' & accompanying my Dad when goes shooting.

I work freelance as a cameraman be that TV, corporate or whatever, I'm not a proud man & will work for whoever wants to pay me for the day. However, I'm working a lot more locally & need a vehicle that can get me just about anywhere.

As I've previously said, I'm on the lookout for a Discovery, have never owned a 4WD but have driven a few Land Rovers of various ages over the years. Having had a look around, my budget would mean something likely to be '52 to '54 plate. I am hoping someone could advise me on what to look out for, problems that could occur, whether milage makes a difference etc & most importantly, what is reliability like.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
