The thing is with any outback adventure.If you are going away on a Long haul trip in the outback in any vehicle one would surely carry spares ,well in my experience.Even a weekend crashing about on tracks around and about most blokes carry spares,so i can't see a problem with any brand as long as you go prepared !

Wow - 7.5 years between the last 2 posts! That's gotta be a record.

I will throw in my 2 cents
I currently have a D3 V6 petrol. I’ve owned the car for 3 years now covering some 50kms in that time. The Discovery 3 & 4 are amazing vehicles that do have issues if not maintained, but this can be said with all vehicles.
I use a Prado whilst at work and I have clocked up some kilometres in the Prado and for me the Discovery is way ahead of the Prado in refinement and comfort. The use of available space in the Discovery is amazing.
As many members have said already, get out and test drive both and I’m sure the Land Rover experience will over come any doubts you may have.
When looking at any Discovery get the best serviced vehicle that your wallet will allow you to buy.
