    Workshop manual question

    Hi all I'm looking to buy a 95/98 my discovery manual but I'm just wondering how much difference there is between the 2nd and 3rd edition. I have chance of a 2nd edition but wondering if I'm better off paying more and getting the 3rd, I plan on using it to do my Lt230 at some point if not more...

    What have you done to your Landie today.
