Hello All,
Seen a Discovery 3 HSE that I like, the only issue is that it is a manual gearbox , as I know nothing about disco's yet can anyone offer opinions on this , mostly be used on road but there will be some off road use when I am at the farm.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Cheers
Tommy
 
Had manual d3's at work for towing absolutely pathetic clutch and flyweel kept destroying themselves on a regular basis, gutless until we had them mapped. One died and was replaced with a auto and everyone fought over it.. the manuals were fun with no trailer.. autos drove seemlessly on that how many speed box they had..
 
I won't be towing anything , it's just going to be my daily driver , just a bit wary because the automatic box on my jaguar xf is very smooth and great when stuck in traffic etc.

Cheers
Tommy

If your used to the finer things you'll notice a big back step.. as a manual 4x4 goes tho it wasn't bad better than its predecessors.. I'd have another if necessary but I'd be hard pressed to prise myself from automatic daily drives now..
