any info on a 2002 TD5 Disco

[blitz]

I'm eyeing off a 2002 TD5 Auto Discovery, has anyone out there had any experience with them. I think I'm going to start getting serious about modifying my 94 disco so I need another one for the handbreak (hope she doesn't read this)

Being somewhat old school I'm a bit sceptical of all the electronic wizadry and their longevity (nothing beats driving skill).

Basically what I'm asking, is the 2002 TD5 OK or should I look at a different model?

any comments greatly appreciated

I also understand any comments are personal views based on personal experience - usually the best kind

Cheers

Mine is a 2001 TD5 auto 5 seat. I just love it on and off road - real off road, none of this gravel public highway stuff... :twisted:

The only drama if you could call it that is my radiator started to leak after 90,000km's. This was replaced under warranty and I was told that the 2001 Discos had "thin wall" radiators and the later models got "thick walled" radiators so the 2002 model shouldn't be a problem.

Traction control - don't be shy to use a bit more right boot. It is almost as good as diff locks!

I feel the Hill Descent Control lets the car down a little too fast for my liking. Especially down some fairly technical descents. The updated Disco (the current one) has better (slower) control, I'm told.
