Thread: X-Trail to Discovery.

Nice, looks like mine except mine's a diesel with a ARB bar. Pretty much indestructable if looked after. Sometimes I wish I had an auto, then I get into the snow or Flinders and thank god I have a manual. The ZF's in these things like to take the higher gear instead of the gear you want. Clutch has lasted me almost 8yrs and 180,000kms with and original clutch fork!!!! (With lots and lots of anti-sieze paste on the pivot ball).
Good luck offroading, you don't need all the bells and whistles that you might read on hear. take is slow until you and the car fit each others capabilities.

cheers Luke

Yeah mines is the 300TDI in auto also. It has a genuine LR bullbar minus the headlight grills. and is in almost perfect condition both cosmetically and mechanically.

cheers Luke, im deffinately looking forward to taking it offroad.

Good choice to replace the X-Trail. I spent a week during the heavy rains at Fraser Island towing my brother-in-law's X-Trail like a sled through the inland tracks. The excessive rain had turned the normally easy tracks into a sandy-muddy sludge. The tracks even claimed a 100 series land cruiser up to its axles. The Disco 1 when driven correctly won't let you down off-road.

I was given the opportunity to test drive one a few weeks ago on a forum trip and i have to say im in agreeance ( if thats even a word ) with you there. i cant wait to get it out there and have some fun.

It is a word but you spelt it wrong now all you have to do is give me the keys so I can test drive it off road

How much is a test Drive worth to you BOOGER??? $$$



You'll get a drive, in time.
