Prospective Disco 3 buyer

frankenbus · Feb 22, 2013

Hi, can any of you disco guys give me any advice on buying (or not) a disco 3. I'm currenly looking seriously at them after an interesting few years of Range Rover P38 ownership and its fascinating air suspension issues.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

unless you have an outstanding warranty, because it will break, and it will be expensive to repair

Lol! I kinda thought that, there's too much bad press for it not to have any substance. Shame cos cosmetically, I like the look of them. Will see if I can find a low mile late Td5 then or L322 R/R. Cheers

Well I had my D3 HSE for just under 2 years, without any problems at all, did all the usual towing, and off roading at Tong etc

One of the best cars I have owned.

Just make sure you get post 2006 as they are less problematic (apparently).

Put it this way, my td5 will be changed in the next few years and I will not be buying a Disco3 nor a disco4 visit landroverhell.com Once my td5 says "no more" it is going to be a new shogun sg3 sorry to say but I just would have no long term faith in the reliability of the later discoveries.

I think its like most cars - you hear about the bad apples, and that then reduces faith.....admittedly, there were a few bad apples in the D3 line-up, esp due to the electronic handbrake, but these were ironed out, as far as I was aware

I would certainly look at getting one again, but would buy as new as I could, if not brand new like I did before, but that's a lot of pennies......
