We have purchaced our new 4x4 and it's a silver Landrover Discovery TD5 SII, it was chosen mainly for comfort, economy and that TD5 pulls like a train and of coarse we like it. There are no accessories on it at the moment except for a heavy duty towbar, but that doesn't count cause it's standard on the Landie anyway.

Ford Explorer XL manual UQ 4.0l R.I.P.

Ps you really didn't think i would go mainstream did you.

Baz,
Nice lookin unit mate - hope ya get a lot more years of enjoyment out of it than the dearly departed one!!! LOL A mate of mine has one and swears by it even to the extent he won't even climb into my Yota. :):):)

Just a side note isn't it funny how we fourwheelers always are after a car that 'has never been offroad' yet when we have one claim how good it is offroad and how well it goes offroad and that we woudn't be with any other model, and how it goes offroad better than the next persons - yet when we want to part with it we don't want the buyer to know how much offroadng it has done. Human nature I s'pose. :-) :-) :-)
Just my $0.02c worth anyway
Regards
BigPop

Good choice Baz.

Does it have ACE? (active cornering enhancement) They drive like there on rails with it.

One other thing, if not already fitted, get a centre difflock actuator. Otherwise the car is scarey/dangerous when backing down a steep greasy clay hill. Traction control is just not up to the job.

Cheers

Well done Baz.

At last someone has gone with their heart not their head......(filled with 4wd mthly).

If you want modern comfort what other choice did you have Baz! Let's see....

Patrol 3.0 - no thks
Patrol 4.2 - no auto? bugger...
LC 100 - IFS, umm.....nup.

Sorry fellas but IMHO all (auto) roads now lead and end at a LR Disco SII.
(umm... that's left me wide open).

Baz, you'll end up loving it... than hating it for a week .... until finally become at peace with the old girl.

Once the underdog has new rubber, susp (and a chip), it will never fail you.

Oh... unless you LIVE in the bush, then I'd buy a Troopie ;-)))

Have a nice day all.

So true yep the girls didn't like the Patrol because it was awkward for the girls to drive, the 100s IFS well we all know why that would not be concidered, the solid axle 100 was concidered but we found it a bit thirsty and too big for around town albeit a very powerfull unit in fact awesome and thank you mick (Fatz) for letting us drive your 100s, so there ya go.
Oh the chip is on the list too.

I am sorry to here the bad news about the Landrover. I guess that not everyone can afford a quality vehicle. Just think you have purchased the following:

Worst resale value of any 4X4 on the market

Quickest depreciation of any car on the market

Ugliest front and rear of any vehicle on the market

Most unreliable electrical system on market

Worst factory support (with the exception of Goggomobile)

Worst amount of available tyre choices of any 4X4

Most amount of chassis and floor pan rust of any 4X4

Most amount of dorky bearded outdoorsy type of owners

Most boring and unproductive club members of any known 4X4 clubs in Australia

Most expensive vehicle top maintain

50 year old British styling

On the positive side:

Best under bonnet rust prevention of any 4X4 (oil leaks)

Congratulations Baz,

I must say having driven it last weekend I was impressed with the condition of it and the way it drove. It had been well looked after bye the previous owners and not driven offroad despite close relationship with a guy from the Friends of the Simpson. Good family connections you may say.

I am sure the value you will get will be tremendous, and we look froward to seeing you in the drivers seat. I reckon the economy you will drive you further too with the 2.5 Turbo.

Congratulations again mate and I am sure there are many kilometers to go, providing you don't drown it before teaching it to breath with a snorkel.

I know I have come in late with this but you had not gone to press when I was here earlier. At least I have had the priveledge of knowing longer than others ;-)

Taking one for a test with our camper attached was the clincher no effort at all amazing for a small diesel, it towed it as well as Micks turbo 100s LC.

LMAO, i will teach it well trust me, thank you again John.

Well done Baz. My son has gone the same route. He picks up a 2001 while TD5 manual in Bright today. He's lucky though, this one has all the gear already fitted - including CB and UHF radios. Amazing that it hasn't done anu serious offroad work either.

I had my first ride in a Disco last Sunday and must say was impressed. Very comfortable and probably every bit as capable offroad as my GU Patrol. He now has the winch though so he can pull me out of trouble.

Enjoy the new toy.

G'day Baz, well done on your purchase. I am myself a new owner, having picked up my own TD5 on Saturday. Sounds like I did the reverse to you... I am from Melb and bought mine in Sydney.
Yours being 2001 should be able to run the Centre Diff Lock. 2002 models have a different transfer case with no provision to engage the CDL.
I got mine for an absolute bargain with low kms, service books, bullbar and snorkel, enough to go and get quite dirty. Good luck with yours.

Well done Baz,
In the three years i have had mine it's been great.Drives beautifully on road and off and very capable in standard form.Great motor for a balance of power and economy and if you do a lot of towing rechipping the motor makes a huge difference but i tow my van no worries.Found OME suspension to be one of the best improvements to the ride after the weight of a steel bull bar went on the front.You will love the comfort of the disco especially when touring.Parts and servicing are pricey if you go to the big dealers but you will find places around that are more competitive.Don"t worry about the knockers who claim their car to be the best coz your motor won"t blow,your fifth gear won't fall off and your transfer case won't fill with sand.

Good choice Baz, I looked closely at them myself pre Patrol. The motors are excellent and the seats excellent too.

Baz,
I hope you enjoy the DII as much as I have enjoyed mine. I had the 2001 and was offered a trade in I couldn't refuse and now have the Nov 03. I had to laugh at the turkey above who thought they are ugly (amongst other things) - I guess he's been brought up on a diet of plastic and chrome.

now mate,no need to be like that,,,,give the man his due.
i'm sure that after carefull consideration on a number of factors,Baz made the decision that was right for him and his clan.
he had a hard time of it when the explorer parted ways with him, no need to stick the knife in...so how about you just play nice for once and wish Baz all the best eh?

Hey BazMan, congrats on purchasing the Disco! Had a feeling you'd be treading the Land Rover path - everyone should own one at least once in their life. It certainly is an unforgettale experience... :)

Nice unit there Baz, My 2c worth for add-ons would be a set of simex jungle trekkers, seen them fitted to a few discos down here and they looked spot on. They work like paddles too apparently :-D
