Thread: Sick of the Disco

I know what's missing Karls....and it's the filling between yer ears! Why anyone could possibly be going back to a time warp badly put together thing such as Deafener after a D4 I can't imagine.
If only I could persuade the Cook that we should do the opposite I'd do it like a rocket. But then she won't cook any grub for me.
Of course you could be trying to be committed...........

PS. But I do know a highly regarded repairer who reckons as long as LR keep making D4s and RRS he'll never be out of a job.

Je need sais quoi

If you have not driven a manual trans older LR (which is what the Deefer is ) you wont get it

The sound system is awesome, the sheilas look at you when you get out of it, its the best car I have ever owned.

But....

Somethings missing.

I just bought a new Defender today and I'm going to sell the Disco.

I call it an upgrade!

Totally understandable! any pics?

Like going from Bundy coke in a can to a fine old red, some will always be Bundy drinkers , and good for them, more red for us

Yep......
D3, D4, RRS ...... these have well and truely taken over from the TD5 in keeping me in work for many many many years to come....

Personally I would NEVER step over a Defender puma to get into any of the above Land Rovers. The above makes a Defender puma look like a horse and cart but they have so much less problems.

For what owners can spend on repairs with their D3, D4, RRS, other owners can fit out a Defender puma with all the mods and accessories they (and I) can think of doing.

The most recent owner of a D4 just out of warranty, I replaced the secondary turbo, said he sold a 2 year old Defender for 5k (on the road cost) less than what he paid for it and it sold in 40 mins flat.

I said "why???" (in reference to him selling the Defender)
He said "I dont know" ............

lol lol lol.... hrmm not sure about that.... lets call a Defender puma a really nice beer, a good stout perhaps? and the ones that dont like a good beer can keep their laa-dee-daa wines that will make them one morning wake up and feel very very ill....

Wow.... I thought the D4's were pretty much trouble free with most of the issues sorted out..... This Turbo problem, is or was it a one off thing or is it a common issue with the D4's ??

Be interested to know more of what problems there are with the D4's as this was one vehicle that was on my future car list.....
