Wife wants/needs a new car so I'm going to sell (or possibly px) her CRV.

Looking at Disco II's, I understand they were facelifted around 2003, anyone know what changed?

I've owned plenty of old Landies (two defenders, two sIII's and an sIIa) but never a more modern one. Any big issues I should be looking for in a TD5 Disco from 2003? (around £9k).

Cheers

Changes were headlamps went from square halogens to rounded xenons and there were some nice aesthetic interior changes. Rear lights were changed as well. Other than that I think it was pretty much the same as the previous model.

compared to the disco one you'd be surprised how many differences there are: virtually nothing between the 2 models is interchangeable. couldn't even fit the old steel wheels with m + s tyres. put them next to one and another and start comparing!!

Bought one today for Mrs Drams.

03 plate 60k miles, just a basic 5dr non-leather model but it was only 7000 which I thought wasn't bad. Nice condition too.

Cheers for your help!
