Thread: Disco 4 V Landcruiser 200

Hi Disco4SE and that puts new meaning to “Oh what a feeling”

Maybe that should be "D'oh what a feeling"

Hey, funny part is, he had a Disco 2 before his Landcruiser 100

My Boss is looking at buying a new Prado, he keeps asking me how my Discovery 4 is going because he is thinking about turning to the dark side.

I think he and the Prado deserve each other.

Nicely put Mowog

I might add that he is also a LC 100 series owner.

I like these stories. A mate of mine would never buy a Land Rover as the Prado/Cruiser can do no wrong. In fact I Put my foot in it when I was test driving vehicles when I said to him that the Prado would have to be the ugliest car I have ever seen and the interior was like the engineer got a hand full of buttons, threw them at the dash and where they stuck was where they were to be located (4x4 controls hidden behind steering wheel etc). I hadn't realized he was looking at a new Toyota.

Then , I proudly rock up in my new D4.

When I was looking for a new car the Discovery wasn't really on the list.

I ended up in a D4 by process of elimination.

1. No 4Wd's from Japan or Korea
2. 3500kg towing
3. Diesel

That only leaves a few choices. For me the best of those was the D4. Now I admit that horror stories of reliability were an issue for me and this is my first Land Rover.

A rare thing has happened for the first time in years I have a car that hasn't needed to go back for warranty work in the first couple of months (My Mini also hasn't needed work). That not going back thing doesn't count the dealer not listening to requirements.
