Landrover Discovery TD5
We are thinking about buying a 2004 Landrover Discovery TD5 Diesel Auto just wondering if anyone has one and there thoughts. What are they like with towing and offroading?
Are you a mechanic???
if not, you will need to become one to keep it on the road.
Do you have a good looking driveway, well get that, and you wont anymore
Do you have shares in an oil company
Seriously, I would advise against buying one mate.

I have had a TD5 for 2 years. Great towing my 18 foot caravan. Get 8.5km per 100 km not towing.andsue wrote:We are thinking about buying a 2004 Landrover Discovery TD5 Diesel Auto just wondering if anyone has one and there thoughts. What are they like with towing and offroading?
Does not use a drop of oil between oil changes.
Had a Nissan patrol before. This TD5 would eat the Patrol with its 4WD ability. Very comfi on the road and off.
Great air con climate control system.
Don't listen to anyone unless they have one.
Typical dribble that you'll get used to hearing. There is what you hear, and then there is reality.trains wrote:Are you a mechanic???

andsue, I've found 95% of people that bag landy's have never owned them. the other 5% either get the lemon's (and when they are lemons THEY ARE LEMON'S!) or a rover simply wasn't for them.
Take a few for a drive, and take your time looking for one, not much info isn't on the aulro site. dig around there to work out the erk's and quirks

Saddle up tonto, its the not so loanrangie! . 98 TDI DISCO lightly modded with more to come.
Well, we are all entitled to our opinions.
Unfortunately, the ones ive come across, either with mates, or towed in to the workshop have been the reason for my opinion.
Just like sigmas, and camiras, get a good one, and there good, but the rest just kept me in business ;(

Ps, hope you find a good one.

They are a very capable and comfortable vehicle. Overall build quality and reliabiltiy is probably not up to Japanese standards but having said that they are more refined in some ways.
The TD5 does have certain well known issues which may have already have been addressed in the vehicle you're looking at. The TD5 is also expensive to repair however high tech diesels generally are.
