Reliability of Disco's 3
Discussion
Have had one in the family for comming up 3 years. No problems of note. Great car IMO.
Saw your post about the Q7. My take is, and Ive been vocal about it previously, the Q7 (and Cayenne, and X5, and ML) is that, certainly compared to the Disco (and Rangie), the others arent actually that big on the inside, despite their size on the outside.
I, personally, dont see the point in having a big car that isnt big on the inside.
FYI, come January, the Disco 3 will be replaced with another one

From someone who has owned about 6 or so X5's and thought they were great, buy the Disco...brilliant cars, on our second. A few issues with early cars but the later ones seem much much better. 16K now in our 06 and touch wood no problems. If it's the TDV6 I would suggest an ECU upgrade, makes the world of difference.

If its 'used' then Id say try and find one with leather. The 7 seat option would be a bonus (for the odd day you want to take everyone out). Wasnt Hill Descent on all models? Bloody great bit of kit that. Ive used it in anger and its amazing what it will go up and down, even on road tyres (I blagged a free half day Land Rover Off Road Experience jobby). Ours has an auto box which is pretty good, but I personally wouldnt object to a manual (not that Ive driven a manual one).

I am tempted by one of these....
Fubar - what is your mums car worth now? (am interested in a sellers view as the prices are all over the place online).
I have no idea. As you say, the prices are all over the place. Being an HSE/fully loaded, and relatively (for a diesel LR) low mileage, Id like to think its worth in the mid to low £20ks trade in value? See some low spec 05 cars with dealers for circa £20k, so Fubar - what is your mums car worth now? (am interested in a sellers view as the prices are all over the place online).
Cost £44k new

Talk her into selling it to me earlier....?!!!
LoL, wont be thinking about selling until next year sometime
It was one of the early D3s. When we bought it there was very limited colours. IIRC there was silver (which we went for) a couple of greens, white and gold (gold ffs!) and maybe a black?
She wants the next one in a purple So that's the resale price down the pan then

Do they do a D3 Camel Trophy? I drove a manual and auto today to replace my Disco 2. Very impressed. Don't need too many gadgets so I am going for a nearly new 07 XS in manual. While the Auto felt brilliant I always get pissed off with them so going back to a manual. Seen one advertised at £25k..... Leather would be nice but only comes with the SE and HSE which I don't want.
We'll see how it goes...

Think I wll go for auto. A sept 06 'S' that I think I can get froma dealer for just under 27K. With Sat nav, blue tooth, privacy, fogs, black metallic but cloth seats. Can get seats leathered for 1500 later on.Probably going to get a bank loan rather than a PCP as I want to avoid such deals if I can (they always have a sting).
