Discovery

Hi
Need advice, which is best all round.
Dico TDi or V8 with LPG

Cheers

Best advice is not to worry about fuel bills buy German or Japanese to
ensure the Discovery repair bills don't bankrupt you.

I like people, they are bio-degradable !.

Dave, can I suggest that this question would be better posed on
alt.fan.landrover where you get sensible responses without having to
sift through the "Discovery is rubbish ... buy German or Japanese"
drivel that tends to be espoused here.

Three engineers were sitting down to a quiet beer in the bar one night.
They were from Toyota, General Motors and Land Rover so the conversation
naturally got around to which company made the best off-road vehicles.
Anyway, after several hours of argument they couldn’t agree which was
the best so decided to hold a driving challenge.

The Toyota engineer said proudly that he would use a Land Cruiser
Amazon; the GM engineer loudly proclaimed that his choice would be a
Jeep Grand Cherokee. Both were a little taken aback when the Land Rover
engineer said calmly that his vehicle would be a Vauxhall Corsa … his
reason being that if the others weren’t going to take the challenge
seriously then neither was he.

Sorry Marcus, I've had 3 Discoverys, none of which have crapped out on
me. I wish I could say the same about the Land Cruiser, Shogun or M5

Far too big! Which is also my main complaint against the Unimog..
Pinzgauer 6x6 isn't much bigger than a Landy 110. You can also get
Pinz's for 6 grand and upwards.. Lovely!

Garage is option at extra cost. You may laugh but the Fastrac is outstanding
value as an used buy. It is probably the highest depreciating large tractor
on the British market and is a sensible option for nutters like us. Think of
the fun you could have.

Too big? Too big for what? It's smaller than an ocean liner. Smaller than a
jumbo jet. Smaller than an articulated lorry. Smaller even than an average
tipper truck. Indeed I view it as positively compact without a trailer
behind.
It is fast, comfortable, durable, versatile, economical, reliable and the
four-wheel-steer ones are even manoeuvrable. It is used extensively and is
proven transport along narrow country roads. Spares are generally cheap and
plentiful. It has an income potential.
It may be slightly bigger than a 110 but it complements one nicely, so what
more could you possibly want?
