    Opinions

    Hi all, Anybody got any advice on the newer disco 3 4.4 v8 engines. Good or bad welcome. Obviously there aren't a lot of these around & info is limited. I can't even buy a Haynes Manuel as they don't do one for this engine.:o

These headlights normaly end up on eBay so you'd be better off etching your number plate on the front of the lamps. This puts (SOME) people...

    Reliability

    Mine was 5 years old when bought & owned for 6. It was a facelift 2002 (52) Oh and by the way mine had the plastic dowels in the head. I was confused as to why this was, & was told by the garage you get whatever engine is on the shelf at land rover at the time. The changing of the dowels...

    Check wheel bearings & rear propshaft center bearing both for signs of play. That's a start & let us know how you get on.

    Rear propshaft

    Hi folks. Just wondering has anybody ever changed a rear prop shaft on a 3? & is it a straight forward job, such as undo bolts & straight swap! Thanks in advance.

    Disco value?

    Yip like other folk said it doesn't matter how much you spend, as long as your happy & keeping it, then it's ok. But you will never recoup what you spend. (Unfortunately)

    Which is better, Disco 2 or 3?
