Thanks Discodriver - are there any changes after 2000? I'm looking at at an 02/03 Facelift? Thanks

Thanks Goonarmy - I can only find the width with mirrors, my old American car was 74.5" wide and if a Disco is much wider it ain't going in!

Hi Disco2 Experts, Just about to buy a 2003 Disco2 ES and wanted to check a couple of things: 1. Which models have the rear a/c - or was that an optional extra? I've looked at a couple and they haven't had the roof outlets in the back, which I was hoping to get. 2. Can anyone tell me...

Hi, Has anyone got a limited mileage insurance? I'm using my NCB for another car and the first quote I've had for a Disco I'm thinking of buying is £600. I'm wondering if I can get it cheaper by limiting the mileage to 3000 miles? Thanks

Hi DiscoStew, Can't fault your logic there - exactly the same as my thinking - I don't do many miles so mpg isn't a showstopper, and 20 is OK. I do like the sound of a V8..... Head says diesel, heart says V8.

Again I'll say keep the Olds. That car is an icon. Since you're set on dealing away the land yacht, what kind of price do you think you can get for it in the UK? Yes, your post made me think about that option! To be honest I'm still thinking on it, but I've had a hankering for a LR for...

Thanks for all the advise guys, appreciate it. Looks like Disco Diesel is the way to go - though I do love the rumble of a V8............ When I've sold my Yank I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks again!

Hi Guys, I'm just about to sell my '64 Oldsmobile station wagon (5.5 litre V8) and invest the cash wisely (or not) in a Landy, and want to canvas opinion from experienced owners. I'll have around £5500 to spend, and it's Disco v Range Rover, diesel v petrol. It's for family outings...

Guys, Thanks! As a matter of interest he does still have the propshaft - asked him to re-fit, no response yet.......................

Hi People, I'm looking at buying a 2003 FL which unfortunatley has the propshaft disconnected - to improve mpg according to the seller. In the opinion of you knowledgeable owners out there, is this likely to be a legitimate reason, or is it more likely that it was due to a mechanical fault...

Hi All, Can anyone recommend a good independent garage in the Gatwick area of West Sussex where I can get a cambelt service done on my FL V6 for a lot less than the LR dealer's eyewatering £1400??:eek: Thanks!!

Well thanks guys, useful cross section of views! Luckily I have a sensible car (S Max diesel) and a classic (64 Oldsmobile Station Wagon 5.7L V8) so if I buy the FL the mileage will be low and the mpg will be the least of my worries! I rang the garage that sold the car in Feb 2009 and the guy...

Fumes, excellent! How many miles have you done? I'm looking at either the cheap and cheerful option or a very nice Sport Premium.....

Chaser, not really a gambler! But on the other hand, limited budget for a 2nd "playtime" car means the the TD4s I'm looking at are 3-4 years older.....does that mean even more chance of LR stuff (not necessarily the engine) going wrong...?? Whichever option, it feels like a gamble to me!

Hi, Every single person I have spoken to has told me not to buy a FL! Just wondering, is there anyone out there who is actually happy with a 2.5 V6 version? I've found a nice 2004 Sports Premium....:rolleyes: Thanks

Hi All, I'm about to take the plunge and buy a 2004 V6 Sports Premium 3 door (gulp). The tyres are a bit low on tread and I'm after any advice on budgeting for replacements that won't break the bank too much. The car is mainly for week-end family fun and so only very mild off road use. The...

Thanks Gegs, that's what I was hoping. Good point about the letterbox!

Newbie here. Can anyone tell me if the soft top and hard tops on 3-door 2002 Freelanders are interchangeable? ie if I buy a hardback, can I fit a soft top for summer, and vice versa? Thanks and apologies if this is a dumb question!:confused:

Beezlebub, thanks, appreciate the advice. As you say budget is a restriction and I could be faced with a choice of a 55k miles 1.8 or a 120k mile diesel... tricky choice. Also there are quite a few V6's out there, and much as I love bigger engines, I think I might end up spending a lot on gas...

Thanks guys. OK, that's knocked a hole in my plans! What about the 2.5L V6 - any better??
