Range Rovers and Discos are just fat defenders that have more things to go wrong (and cost loads when they do). As for discos being thinking mens defenders, what are the thinking about? The rate of depreciation. I also find that too much thinking gets me in trouble, like this post probably will.
    Having said all that i'll take any green oval over a jap motor. I take that back i wouldn't have a freelander! :D  :D

Don't worry, Freelander isn't green oval, it's blue oval

Thing is i bet most series owners have a second car. No offence to series/defenders, i love 'em but theres no way i would do a 6 motorway slog or daily commute round the north circ in one. my rangie is at home cruising at ** on the outside lane with 3 series as it is laning, thats why i have one

Horses for courses, no one landy is better than the other  :wink:

went past a landrover dealer and the price of 2nd hand disco,s year old was £39,995.00
enough to make your hair curl
is it the cost that makes some green oval owners a snob
ie mine cost more than yours syndrome

but i think you can snob the other way to as in mine cost less than yours but can still do the same
love's mud and lpg and the wife

That is wierd, the guy I've bought Lucifer off also had a Senic.

For now it's mine and my dads only car, and tbh it seems alright at speed, sat at 55 with not a huge amount of noise.

Mmmmmmmmmm, just the right price to take it into a muddy field and roll it a few times.

I feel that the Disco and RR development have missed something.  Realistically L/R's popularity has come from its everyday use and versitility.

Thankfully the Defender is still around (for the time being anyway).

Maybe they should have kept production of the Disco Series II on the side?

I wish this project would just hurry up and finish!

But I don't think it will if I keep making simple mistakes

Missed what exactly?

The newer style of models are built for the market that buys them and last time i checked the market was buying them, so there must be something right about the newer models even if they don't appeal to owners of the older vehicles.


Personally i think the latest RR is very useful because its made the P38 RR far more appeling (something to compare it to other than the RRC).
