Hi I hate to start with what could be a swear word on here
how I am normally a Hilux person (business use)
However with a 4th kid on the way I am need of another car
so it terms it needs to be a 7 seater
I have looked at the discovery of course however I did here that the late 90s
range rover could come with 7 seats.
Main point are:
7 Seats ALL with 3 point belts NONE of this lap belt rubbish.
Must be a manual cannot stand autos (plus other reasons)
And I would prefer a diesel
Budget is a bit limited.
so any advice what to look for ETC quite new to Land rovers
However like to add I personally been eyeing up range rovers for years
and would really like to get one of them.
 
and the boot is a two part jobbie, not a door that swings to one side like on toyotas so ingress/egress would be a bit of a scramble.

90s Range Rover (P38) is best avoided as a money pit and anyway, I've never seen one with 7 seats. If they do exist they will be extremely rare.

Discovery 2 of the same age is a better vehicle but with side facing rearmost seats.

A recent 110 with forward facing rearmost seats will have 7 three point belts, though is a completely different vehicle to a Disco or Rangie.

Unless you have £15k+ to spend on a Discovery 3, you're going to have to compromise in one way or another.

P38's needn't be money pits if properly looked after! 7 seat kits were available and show up on fleabay etc every so often. They weren't factory, but from one of the custom houses, Overfinch I think.
