Love my car

published

I love this car. I have one baby and a second on the way and it's got some much room for everything you need to lug around with 2 kids. This car is a heavy vehicle which I didn't like at first but since driving it for nearly a year I can't stand driving any of those cheaper light vehicles. They just feel so unsafe. Also being a diesel it did take a while to wear it in as it was a bit touchy for a a few months but now it's smooth sailing.

Awesome vehicle

published

Having done 76,000km so far i can honestly say the driving experience is fantastic. Extremely comfortable (its like driving a leather recliner lounge chair around), quiet and effortless to drive. Plenty of power, great vision via the large windows and 7 seats makes this vehicle a top choice. Heaps of room in the cabin and plenty of space in the back for storage (I've got an Engel fridge mounted in mine with heaps of space left for other stuff). Mine has been very reliable and it's not too thirsty depending on your driving style.

Best car Ive ever owned

published

Ignore the Nay Sayers these cars are brilliant. Ok so they are on the big side but they are surprisingly agile and easy to park. Weve done many miles in our Disco on all sorts of roads and tracks,towed trailers and carted stuff up and down the countryside. The disco has never let us down. Ive owned equivalent 4x4s like Toyota and Nissan but they dont come close to the driving experience of my Disco. The 7 seats and space, combined comfort and overall ease of driving make long journeys a pleasure. If you keep the servicing up and drive it luck the type of vehile it is you will get years of function snd pleasure out of your Disco. Trust me. Drive one and you will be converted

before you knock it... try it

published

The disco 4 is amazing to drive, both on the bitumen and in the dirt. On the road it is very smooth and quiet. In the dirt it eats up ruts, potholes and on sand. The interior is well laid out and easy to use, great sound system and very comfortable and with a huge load space. The car is very reliable and not a guzzler, on the flat road no wind it will sit at 100kph and the engine only ticking over at about 1400 rpm, averaging about 8.6 ltrs to the 100km while the service is expensive its worth it. But don't bag it until you own one. While they did not have good name, times have changed, they are worth every penny.

Best 4WD available

published

The smoothest car I have driven. Air suspension is very good.
Very economical. Driving around in Sydney traffic I can regularly achieve better than 10 litre / 100 KM.
Opted for Tech Pack and rear air conditioning. Worthwhile taking.
The only improvement I would seek is better maps in the navigation system.
The best car I have driven. Every passenger has been impressed with the quality.
Dealership provided outstanding customer service.

Purchased in April 2021 for A$87,000.00.

Owned the Discovery 4 for 5 years. Loved it.
Traded for a new Discovery, Review to follow.

Very pleased, performance, reliability, comfort and fuel economy

published

The car is a pleasure to drive for my wife and myself, we tow a 19'6" van with it without any problems at all, to a point of not really knowing it is there. The interior is comfortable with good leg room all round, the sound system is a pleasure to listen to with road noise being monimal.
Operating costs after 3 years has been low, the first service was performed by the dealer but very expensive, the second service 12 months later was performed by a local mechanic and was approximately 25% of the cost and using the same oils etc. Service can't be recorded in the Land Rover computer system, but I don't care about that. Next service is almost due but will use the same mechanic.

Excellent vehicle, very impressed.

published

Bought our Discovery new in September 2015, so far we've done 20k in it, mainly around town but we've also taken it on longer trips and on some fire trails. I did the Land rover off road course which was offered free, I knew I would be impressed with its capability and I was. The only slight critisism is the infotainment system, very slow. I tend to use my iphone as a GPS instead of the built in system. The Meridian sound system is fantastic as is the DAB radio. Very comfortable car for carrying children in. A bit thirsty around town, but that could be due to my driving style, surprisingly quick if you put your foot down.

Bit different

published

First new car for 16 years, so is a big change, change from manual, wind the windows to all auto. So far so good, interior plastic is a little disappointing, the expensive interior protection did not cover the plastic, so out with the Armorall.

Pain work is fair, not the best coat of paint I have seen, it has a few blemishes.

The Disco is great to drive and cannot wait to hitch the van and go for a long drive.

Great vehicle

published

A very smooth reliable drive, has towed a 3.5 tonne gross van twice across Australia, up to Cape York, the Savannah Way, Cairns to Broome & handled the rough stuff brilliantly. Have fitted LR Tank, & spare to rear, & Recovery type Hitch. Am fitting 18" Compomotive rims for more rubber under the rim & tougher tyres, A brilliant tourer aim for around 15-16l/100 towing, & 9 around town where its tight turning circle makes parking a breeze. Its serviced every 10k vs recommended 27k, as it works hard. Only issue DPF blocked causing huge increase in fuel use, easily fixed.
Would recommend this vehicle over everything else I've owned

30,000ks disco towing dream

published

Over 30,000ks most of it towing our Coromal lifestyle 635xe, in the first year. Queensland to Victoria across the Murry to Mildura. Oodnadatta track, Jabiru, then the Kimberlies, el Questro on the Gib river road, west coast, Nullabor and home. 16.5 litres per 100ks average whilst towing, 9-11litres around town and not towing. The tow assist is fantastic, tdv6 diesel so powerful and the padels for gear changes great for down hills and off road. Most comfortable 4wd we have ever had. Meridian sound fantastic. Rear camera even focuses on the tow-ball when hitching the van. Great drive Disco Dream.

Great all round performance both on and off road comfortable and powerful but where is the front recovery point? It's off road 101!! Even my daughter's 1990 Bmw 318i has a recovery point to screw into the front bumper. With this small exception, I can honestly say that it's been the best car I've ever owned.

Amazing car

published

Purchased a discovery 2015 sdv6 in February 2015. Have done around 10,000ks with absolutely no issues.
Amazing car to drive, oodles of torque, stacks of appeal on the road and great interior space. Great family car. Surprisingly economical to run given size.

Only complaint is aircon defaults to "fresh" every time you stop the engine, so need to hit recirc every time you start.

First land rover and I am a convert now!
Will upgrade to new disco hopefully in 2020.

Discovery 4 (2009-2016)

Hi I am looking to buy a discovery 4 2010.
At the moment two in my list
1. Tdv6 2.7 with 170000 km. Single turbo
2. Tdv6 se 3.0 with 180000km. Twin turbo.
Both are 2010 with $4000 more for the 3.0.
Is it safe to buy one after this many kms? If it is what are the things I have to look in to.Is turbo replacement common problem on any of this.
Which is better to maintain 2.7 or 3.0.
I only owned Japanese cars before and have done most of the works by myself(except removing engine parts) so any advice or information will be very helpful.
Thanks in advance
Aru

Discovery 4 (2009-2016)

We have a 2014 disco which has done 120,000ks. It has everything on it that we want and we love the car...our question is do we sell now and try to find a later model with low ks before its done too many more ks, or keep it forever. Trying to work out the best thing to do economically (newly retired)
