A buddy of mine in the Danish Army, told me when he was in Irak last year, he hitched a ride a couple of time with the Brits when going around town. It was the same Defenders they used in the Falklands 25 years ago. Inside the base itself, they drove brand new leased LR3's from Kuwait.

I see, Kinda like why I love my old Morris Minor. All you need is a screwdriver and a hammer to fix just about everything one it.

Is the TD5 really that bad? I heard it is pretty solid if you are good on oil/filter changes

It's a 99' TD5 with 104000 miles on it.! It runs great and everything seems to work on it (besides the clock) It's my first LR, so I'm wondering what I should look out for over the next few years. I'm planning some long trips around Iceland, so any tips on TD5 maintenance, links to similar...

Update. Both Disco's where sold right infront of my nose :( But it was actually a good thing. I just bougth myself a Defender instead :) It's a 2000 model with 120000km on it, recently fixed up for £2000 About half the price of the Disco, but in very good condition considering it's...

Thanks a lot Richard! I just found another one. It's a TD5 2003 with 70000km (43000miles) on it. It cost £750 more and it have less options than the other one.. no sunroofs, leather or the 2 extra seats in the back. Should I consider it instead? I read somewhere that besides the...

Thanks Richard! You convinced me even more to get it! Still a little hesitating, but I blame that on the internets! The people with troubled Discos seem to be a lot louder than the other thousands that have a working one. If I didn't have Google, I would properly just have bought it and...

I always wanted a Discovery and now that I recently moved to Iceland there are no more excuses not too. I have been looking at a 2002 TD5 with 119.000km (73.000 miles) on it It's a 7 seater with the hole package, dual sunroof, leather, Active Corner etc. etc. It's really a pleasure to...
