My Discovery

My old Discovery as mentioned on the home page was a 2001 model TD5 ES Auto 7 Seat Premium model. It was an import model and had 18" Mondial alloys and rear air conditioning typifying this.

Here is a recent article from Auto Express magazine which featured me and my Discovery

Additional modifications/extras I had made/added were, VDO Dayton MS5000 Satellite Navigation, Midland 42 CB Radio, K & N air filter, rear lamp guards and twin rear Jate recovery rings.

Things I liked about it

It's big

It feels safe

Lots of room inside

It's fairly quiet at speed (click the icon below to hear how noisy it is inside the Discovery at 70 mph on the motorway)

Superb Auto gearbox

Very smart leather interior

Excellent Off Road

Fantastic ACE suspension system

The Harmon Kardon stereo system

The climate control and rear aircon

Very comfy seats in the front

It's a Land Rover!!

Things I didn't like about it

Fuel economy

The rear sunroof leaked

The gaps at the bottom of the door seals that let the water in

The cost of servicing at a main dealer

The headlamps aren't very bright

Would I buy another? Hell, Yes!! Wouldn't have anything else!!!!!!!

(Uh, that's not strictly true as I have now sold it and bought an MG ZT 190+ and a Land Rover 90)
