I was all set on looking into buying a 3.0l TD SER III Patrol until I saw the promo in the courier for Discos. They are offering $5k of extras for $500 in a country or town option. In addition to that they are also advertising - pay half now and the other half in 2006 with 0% interest. The Patrol is about $52 + dealer and the Disco is $52 + dealer (Td5 manual) and $500 for the $5k deal. I have an 80 series now and have had a bad run with toyota and as I only keep my vehicles for a few yrs so I thought I'd have a change, especially at the $72k price tag for a TD Cruiser. I don't think I need the large 6cyl motor as most of my driving is unloaded, however it is nice to be able to pass comfortably when you are towing or loaded up. I currently have a 1HZ and I have had enough of travelling so slow. It gets dangerous when you try to pass with minimal acceleration. I have been there and done that with respect to hard core offroad so I am looking for something comfortable and reliable. It looks like Nissan offer 3yrs 100k warranty and Land Rover 2yrs 50k warranty - can anyone comfirm this. Land Rovers website is a little ordinary as I couldn't find any specs on the motors.
Cheers
