Hi there, I thought i would stick my head in the door and see what its like here.
You would normally find me in the freelander room...
Its time for a change and the disco sport is in our sights. we are looking at 2016/17 with 40 - 60K miles sort of thing.
Theory is we do about 12K a year keep, it for 4 years or so and then move it on with around 100 - 110K. Or maybe keep it if it grows on us..
Is there anything we should look for?

Thanks in advance,

Technically the DS is a FL2, so has more in common with those than a proper discovery.

FL2 issues are generally relevant to the DS too, although on the whole they're pretty good.

I don’t think they looked to bad and full of gizmos, until i look down on on from my D1 seat then i’m thinking there’s a few more similar SUVs to look at if you after that size of vehicle... and more reliable than Lane Rover according to the reviews.
Anyway if you do what a disco sport then get the top spec, from a main dealer and keep up with the warranty renewal for piece of mind, u may be lucky and not need it.

Being it's a very close cousin of the FL2, you could technically ask questions on the Freelander forum about the DS.
