Good afternoon everyone. My name is Ian and I'm 60 years of age and have been a discovery 3 owner just a little over a year now. I live with my wife Bev and crazy Labrador Ollie in Chatham Kent. I purchased the Discovery to tow a twin axle caravan, which my wife and I intend to tour extensively with, now I am entering my golden years.

So far the Discovery has a had a few repairs, but nothing I didn't expect for the age of the vehicle, which is a 2005 vintage. It tows our caravan almost with ease and in at times I forget it's even on the hook. I was quite surprised that when towing the caravan, the fuel consumption was around 22-23mpg. I was figuring on around 17-18mpg. Perhaps others could indicate if 22-23mpg is a fair average when towing with TDV6.

Looking forward to searching through the threads and seeing if some of my questions have been asked and answered previously. Looking forward to interacting with you all.

All the best.
Ian
 
Thank you for the welcome @neilly. I've been meaning to create an account for a little while, but wasn't sure the my Disco was a keeper. The only thing I can say on that now is, why the hell did I wait so long to get one. It certainly suits my stature and more importantly it is so much easier to enter and exit the vehicle for both myself and my wife.
