I'm 17 and want a landy too, was gonna get one as my first car but ended up getting a corsa as insurance costs would be high and fuel would be costing me a lot driving to college each day. More than likely gonna wait until i get a years no claims, or close to getting it, then buy a 90 200 tdi as...

Nice one, want to do that to my 90 when i get round to buying one. Out of interest, what you do about wearing a seat belt, do you just not wear one? Just because I cant think what you would fit it to, unless odviously fitted a roll hoop.

Im looking into buying a 4x4 and being young, will be 18 when i do come to buying one, cost is a big factor in my decision in the purchase. I'v been looking at various different ones but i have to say that the discovery has to be my favourite, our family have all ways had landrovers and mainly...

I would recommend to get one from a dealer with a warranty, unless you are good with engines etc. Basically all the discos we've owned, new and used, have had problems in the first 5 months which would have been fairly expensive to fix.

Good thinking Ormus's, think I will just do that as am too lazy to plug and unplug the seat belt 9 times every time I get in the car. Shame there isn’t a way to turn it off completely

Does any one know how to turn this off? The delivery guy who bought it back to us after repairs said some thing about plugging / unplugging the seatbelt some thing like 11/12 times, i tried this at the time but couldn’t get it to work. I do wear a belt the road, its just when going fields or the...

We havnt owned a defender but if you use you landy for commuting i would say get the discovery. It is much more comfy and is still a brilliant offroader once you put some mud tyres on it.

We have a discovery 3 and 2 and i would say get your self a 2 unless you want to wait untill lr sort out all the faults. Dont get me wrong i love or d3, but we still get random warning message come up and the problem with the brake locking up has really nocked our confedance in the car. You...

Yes they are brilliant cars to drive, out of the ones we tested by far the best ride. We have been getting 25mpg since we bought it as a exdemo with 300 miles on the clock. I already looked at ebay, and they has disco s models not getting bids over £25k :eek: At the moment its looking like...

We get about 24mph out of ours with a auto box, we tested a manual one and found that one got about 30mph, so maybe you just have a heavy foot? We had the warning message thing the other day too, 3 of them came up, so called up AA and they said just to turn off the engine for a min then switch...

We had a 1996 tdi discovery before we got a 03 td5, i would say its definatly worth the upgrade. The td5 has a much a better ride, cornering you arnt flung into it with the body roll and it doesnt shake all over the place when going over bumps in the road. Its also better for motorway traveling...

currently trying to sell ours, any one want it? only 9000 miles....

With ours the brakes locked up while we were driving, luckily we were only doing about 20mph at the time. Apparently it was a pin in the braking system snapped / came out. I think it must have been cracked since we bought it as it always bad a squeak when setting off, we had it fixed and it no...

There are a few reviews on this site. Looks like a good upgrade, very tempting. http://www.dieselchiptuning.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=43&products_id=427 more reviews on like differant year landrover versions etc

Sounds like you’ve got it bad. Yeah the extended warranty probably would be a good idea, even though its expensive, in most cases its even more expensive to fix the fault your self. With ours the electronic brake locked up while we were driving, luckily we were only doing about 20mph at...

Just found this, looks like they are gona replace it in 2007. From those drawings i dont really like it, seems to have lost most of its country ruggedness. http://www.roverparts.com/Vehicle_Reviews_LR_Defender_2007.html

Because we love our lr's, we have had 4 discos and 1 range rover in the last 16 years, currently have a disco 3 and a td5. They are good quality 4x4s and you get a much better offroader than and other 4x4s for the same price (new). We live in the country side and need them for towing horse...

We have the auto disco and its got about 24-26mpg since new. When we tested the manual one that about 30mpg most of the time. Maybe you should call the dealer you got it from, as 19mph is basicly what we get pulling a horse trailer... Sounds like you may have a problem
