Hi all justed signed up to this site i live here in New Zealand and i am looking at a land rover discovery it will be a auto not sure what is the best motor but i know i what one i have been using a toyota hilux up to now but the more i look at the discoverys the more i like them here in New Zealand they start at $2500 nz dollars about 1200 pounds this will get a 1994 to 1996 now i love my hard out 4x4 driving so i dont what to kill it .i know i will have to do a few mods like lift kit wheels ballbar etc

Now tell me are these discoverys upto it I do drive a lot in rivers lol a lot:doh:
 
ow do duk.ye thi well up fa it,but a wunt go fa an auto but thats prob jus my personal opinion.ye get a lift,snorkel,extended breathers and meby sort ya sen a high level egzorst n yul be sorted.wi some gud tyres on a disco ul get where a hi-lux cant.
 
:welcome2::welcome2: welcome to the loonyzone the disco will do the biz mate have driven a hi-lux off-road and think most on here will agree me they are shyte! no comparrison bud ;):D
 
You seem to be going down the same path as me, loved my hilux 2.4 pick up but felt the cab was a bit small and needed a four seater at least, so went and sold the hilux and with half the money brought a disco!! regrets none really, the one i brought needed a fair bit of welding but would not go back.

Welcome, I was in East Tamaki a couple of weeks ago for two weeks on business. Also spent a couple of days in Rotorua.

I digress.............Saw plenty of series 1's out there, not so many series 2's. I know diesel is not taxed if you are a farmer etc, do you pay a separate premium if private? Still probably cheaper!

You like rivers...................wouldn't like to venture near Huka Falls! :D

What are you looking to get a TDi or V8? You'll love it whatever you go for.
 
i would like a TDI but have been told they go thur camblets about 65.000km and if they go then i am up for a new motor i like the fact that there in fulltime 4x4 do they have a lockup diff
