LOL!

In our house, it the other way around. Elisabeth loves hers, I don't like driving them - not even the Turbo (which she wanted).

Sorry we've taken this post off track but what else can you expect on AULRO! :D

This post isn't off track... It's running perfectly well. Something would be wrong in the world if you lot didn't offer advice on your experiences! Proceed!

Have you considered a Freelander?

Well if we are going all swedish... Volvo xc90, safe,reliable and can climb a kerb...

An LPG install isn't viable to get running costs down?

Disco isn't much different in size to a Saab (except higher)
In fact it's not much larger than the new RAV my mother gets around in...

I'm just offering options...

I like Subarus too ;)

LPG isn't really an option in the sense that the car is apparently too big and too unreliable. It's not all about running costs. As well ss that a good LPG system is quite expensive!

I'm with Ron on the freelander idea. No thanks!

In terms of a Saab being as big as a disco... I don't quite agree on that one. Saab's are about as big as my suby, which is smaller than the disco. Considerably. The only difference is the suby has a slightly longer load space.

An xc90 would be nice, but maybe a little out of our price range.
Even commodores are looking good at the moment.

Spot on Tombie,
Surely the perfect solution is to swap your Sub for the D2, then put it on gas.

Haha! Swap the Suby for a D2 on gas? The chances of that happening are buckley's and then none.

I think it's not only the fuel your worried about,sounds like your disco will be over ten years old by now and in parts servicing and quite a few things needing replaced over months/years you will be up for $$.on me getting a defender I've always wanted one just got a good looked after disco for a good price.am looking at 300tdi which have a lot less to go wrong than a td5disco.even the td5 versions.Axels etc aside
