Evening all ,
Picked up my discovery 5 days ago now and I'm mostly enjoying it, I thought it would be slower than my Volvo 850 t5 but I find it's almost painful and it's got a ridiculous creak/rattle coming from the NS dash the drives me crazy
It needs every service item dealing with and the exhaust manifold is warped but luckily I'm more than capable of wielding the spanners and am a God with a welder (if I do say so myself) so hopefully after some attention it'll look after me as well as my Volvo has for the past 9 years....
So yeah, how do

Welcome aboard..

Always liked the P80 chassis, the 850 being a rare breed now especially the R!

The D2 TD5 isn't that bad once you get used to it, mine is a TD5 Auto! so the slowest!

Well to be honest mine is an SE which right now is way rarer than an R
Mine too is an auto which I highly doubt has had the filter changed in his life

Welcome
Trying to compare a D2 Td5 and a Volvo t5, whichever model, is always going to end in pain. The T5 was jumped on by police as a traffic car for a reason
You'll get used to the difference, just don't forget which one you are in when overtaking
Good luck with the rattle. The guys and girls over in the Disco section will be able to help

The HP22 can take some abuse, however a fluid change would be first on my list, a good idea to peel the old tranny filter apart to see what debris lies inside, it'll give a good indication of the condition of the trans!
