First Disco -First Impressions!

Hi All, now that we've finally done it and bought our first Discovery I thought I'd share my first impressions. We've just bought the wife a 2000 TD5, seven seats with 111k. We got this to replace her 2002 7 seater 1.7 Honda Stream with 39k on the clock (Don't even go there). She fancied a Disco so the rest is history. We've had it nearly a month now and put just under a 1000 miles on it so the first impressions are........

1 - It's a lot more fun than a Honda!
2 - It does make you smile when you drive it
3 - It's a lot better on fuel than expected (possibly better than the 1.7 Honda??????)
4 - It's cheaper to tax than a 1.7 Honda
5 - It's cheaper to service than a 1.7 honda
6 - They do all leak don't they! (although parking it face down on the drive cured this?)
7 - Our 3 & 6 year old boys now won't shut up about Land Rovers (and point out every one we see, and living in the New Forest there's lots!!!!)
8 - We've been told by the boys if we ever sell it they're leaving home
9 - I've even considered buying a caravan
10 - I want to get it dirty

Normal cars don't have this effect so was it a good move.........oh yes!!


Incidently it's a TD5 with a personal plate V8 LJE -:doh: not wanting to look a plonker if anyone's interested in the plate make me an offer!

Nice looking motor that mate.Of course you wanna do all them things-cos ya CAN!!!

Get rid of the EGR tomorrow.

In fact, a better idea would be to get rid of it today.

MPG goes up 10% on the spot, and it goes better.

Search LandyZone for TD5 EGR Removal. It's one of the single best upgrades it is possible to do.

If you're worried about the plate... put a V8 in it

Looks like a nice one

I'm sure the 'sluts' on here will help you get it dirty
