Thread: decisions, decisions.

If it is an about-town car for most of the time, then finding a V8 on LPG is the cheapest running cost. I am glad we bought what we bought, even though it is a little bit of a nuisance filling the LPG every 300km. It is less than $30 per fill though! :wink:

If you have the extra cash, go the Td5.

I had a '95 Disovery 3.9 V8 and only had it for about 13 months. Beautiful feel about the power but almost broke down and shed a tear every time I went to fill it. It had a long range tank @ 120 lt but when I go to work I was only doing about 300 k's per week. It would cost $70 approx. and that was when fuel was at 84 cents per lt. 8O It cheesed me off in the end when I could'nt go anywhere on the weekend cause it would cost me hundreds

I then came across a Td5....love every minute and every 10 or so days fill her up which currently cost $100 or there abouts.

It's a much better vehicle than a Series I with more options and safety features..it will pay for itself :!:

Consider the cost of an LPG conversion and factor that into the equation 8)

I had a V8 and now have a 98 Disco 300TDi , towing a trailer most days was a factor and the Tdi does it better and cheaper.
I am so impressed with my 98 Disco that I'm buying a 7 seater TD5 for the missus (we have another child coming and require a 7 seater) best excuse for an upgrade and she loves to drive my Disco. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Same here, Dirty Dawg, except we've got no more kids coming.

What size gas tank could i fit under a s2disco without losing the petrol tank ?
Has anyone got that link to the spreadsheet of the comparison ??

LR Disco auto V8 goes like a bullet, if you put the foot into it, which I do and I'm country running at 16.6l/100km. Fue l is cheap, or you could buy a Daewoo......GQ

I went for a drive in a Daewoo once.... never again.

Have you ever tried to get Daewoo to wash off your hands? And it stinks!

You need some kind of super degreaser....
