Thread: What are the reasons you bought your Disco

    Only bought mine in September, the first I've owned and the first 4wd and V8 I've owned. On LPG.

    Was looking for a new car and spotted it in a yard, looking immaculate.

    I've always admired LandRovers so took it for a drive and was immediately sold on it: smooth, quiet, powerful, very comfortable and a commanding driving position (hate small cars). It sold itself to me.

    I feel so good driving it and when I get out, I turn around and like the look of what I'm driving.

    It's just nice to have a car you feel proud of, and I admit it is mostly a boulevard cruiser.

    It's a useful car. And that sound....

    Its just in us

    I have had 6 Range Rovers now and was going to swap to a disco.

    It did everything I wanted and asked of it, it just didn't do it for me.

    I needed the character from the classic model, the is it going to start or what will I fix next.
    hear the gears and drive train working and actually being involved in the driving and not just driving.

    Its a life-style choice and I like it.

    Wanted one since my first drive of a mates parent's D1, the day after I got my P Plates. It was a '95 300Tdi, Black, Manual. Love the driving position, visibility, luxury appointments and capabilities without modification.

    Did look at Cruisers and Patrols but the price premium just doesn't make sense to me. I bought a D2 Td5, made sure it's service history was impeccable and had a good 'known' history. I've had it 12 months now, prefer driving it to anything else and feel at home in it.

    HI ALL

    purchased my first disco 93 mod for towing my large fishing boat, v8 on gas from that day I WAS HOOKED so was my wife and took the car for her daily driver (not happy jan) then purchased a ES v8 95 mod for myself and put it on gas, did have a lot of trouble with the 95 mod always seemed to be working on it but then it was doing 170kms per day to work and back. the 9 had 370,000kms on it when I sold it was still going strong but decide to sell before something went wrong (shouldv'e kept it).Just recently sold 95 and brought 99 td5 couldn,t believe how much power the thing produces it is a rocket ship I love it. discos are querky but thats what makes them stand out and be different from the rest. and they don't drive like a truck more car like great for the ladies
    cheers all go the disco

    Mrs Mcrover had a bloke in a Holden WB 1 tonner drive out in front of her in our old 80 series cruiser and ended up writing it off and so we bought the Disco to replace it and 4 years later I havnt regretted it at all.

    Grew up knowing that Landies were something special....lucky enough learnt to drive on Dad's Range Rover in the late 1980's and drove 110's during my first stint with the Army Reserve.

    When found out that second bub was on it's way, I had a good reason to get a bigger vehicle. Now even with our Disco fulfilling the "little issues" reputation they have within the first week of ownership (one remote dead needing replacement, and puncture). I have fallen in love with it ...my son loves it ...the wife still isn't sure

    I had in Disco when they first came out and liked it a lot - especially as it was a company vehicle !!

    Now that time, money and our lifestyle (retired, living in the country with dogs and a horse) allow it, we have two.

    They are strong, reliable if well looked after, comfortable and surprisingly economical for 2 tons of rolling steel.
