Hi Greg-g, is there a better feeling like that as you get into that new disco and the smell of a new Landy makes it worth every cent.
As for the auto, if you’ve not had one before, you will never have any thing else again.
One trick, I have a Rangie but I think the Disco has a similar. transmission management system. It’s great in just about every way you want to drive but there is one little narky thing that comes as a rude shock the first time it occurs.
I use my auto on long down hill runs like a manual, as you do, but the Landy transmission management system monitors the engine revs and if the revs get to high, even though you may have selected a given gear, the transmission management system moves up a gear and as I said it comes as a bit of a boot as you may have to go looking for the breaks big time.
Also as you have your new machine, this is not for you. For any one else looking at buying a pre-loved Disco, forget the dealers and just look around. There are some really cheap deals out there. I was after a disco for my daughter and there was a 2001 Disco in Sydney, with 300,000kms on it but it was going for $7,500. At that price, the saving would cover any running repairs. That one went quick!
