Thread: Landrover Discovery TD5

ARE THEY CAPABLE OFFROAD? is the pope catholic?

I really like the fact that they are very "car-like" to drive unlike a lot of other 4wd's which feel very truck-like. My wife enjoys driving it too & is not daunted by it at all. Very good off road too.

hmmm I can feel a campfire song coming on.......

btw....if anyone wants to listen to what I think is one of the best love songs ever written, youtube Wrinkles by John Williamson.....I have played and sung thousands of songs but this one takes the cake for me (and moistens my eyes)

As much as I like the D2 Td5 I spent more and bought an L322 Td6 Range Rover.I was all for the D2 but after taking the L322 for a drive it won me. Pat

I first heard that song in the camping ground at UDP Falls (now called Gumlon) in the NT - sung around the campfire by a bloke known as "Two Heads" (a Tasmanian), who was the driver of a Kon Tiki Tours coach - they had set up camp behind where we were.

While I like John Williamson singing it - he can't hold a candle to "Two Heads".

Also one of my favourite songs. If you like that - see if you can get hold of a song by John Schumann (ex lead singer of Redgum) called "For The Children". Think you might like that one as well.

... and loving it !

Yep, had a good experience with our first one, the door locks can fail and are repair by replacement. that was the biggest problem we had.

ours was a 2004 build and basic, No ACE, no airbag suspension, no DVD or walnut trim, black leather interior.

Make sure you get one with a Center diff-lock (we never needed it but if you are towing or into off roading i suspect you will want it)

I do think that they are a small vehicle, the inside seems to fill with stuff quickly but then that limits what you can take, less is more

this forum is a great place for info, help, and guides.
