Would look at a Petrol as opposed to a Diesel , less complcation and problems .
Looking at a new family car, don't have a huge budget at the moment.I am considering a D3, whats the general consensus on engines etc? Will be used for running around and soft touring, to the snow etc. I have a 130 300tdi so don't need another project, just something reliable (enough) for the wife to mostly drive around.
My parents have a later model Disco 4, which I like and has been good to them. Unfortunately out of my budget though!
Any advice welcome!

Yeah right, downside just being the ecconomy? They seem to be alot cheaper too
Along comes me... the harbinger of death.
Last time this question was asked, it became a long winded thread and apparently I turned the potential Discovery 3 buyer off and they got a **** heap Pajero instead.
So here we go (again).
Great vehicle on road and off road, when they are actually running.
Other vehicles in the same year model are often tractor like in comparison, but again only when a Disco 3 is running.
I wouldnt recommend a 2.7lt TDV6 Discovery 3 unless its already had a engine replacement or you are going to allow that in your budget.
Other engines are more trouble free, as in they don't have total catastrophic failures.
If you do a search on AULRO, this topic has been well covered.

May the force be with you all.
Get a petrol engine. I know it uses lots more fuel then diesel, but it will take many years to make up the price difference and that’s without taking into account extra servicing costs for the diesel.Originally Posted by TOR;[URL="tel:2940229"
