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

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.

Can't afford to sell my Disco 3 SE 2007 as it owes me too much money. Probs New Alternator at 20K New air suspension pumps x 3 New steering rack 80k New hydra bushes 80k new handbrake 60k New rear diff unit 100k 3 x sets of tyres in 90k. No off road. Very comfy vehicle but has let me down too many times

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.

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.

Tried 18 different vehicles. Never thought of the Discovery until my wife suggested I try one. Immediately impressed and bought on order. Took 4 months to delivery but has surpassed all expectations. Did the 4WD program and now know what it and the German cars can do. The quality level is now superior and having had all the German cars previously will not bother with them for the time being. We will see what the service is like soon but better be at least as good as the Germans have been.

I bought my Disco 3 td6 as a demonstrator in 2008; I have just sold it with 125,000 klms on the clock. In that time, apart from normal servicing it cost me one set of tyres (Coopers) one windscreen wiper & two windscreens (not the cars fault). The Disco was used to tow a 2.8 tonne caravan all over Australia & any land Rover Service Manager will tell you the Disco's that work hard give hardly any problems. Most of their work comes from the ones used for shopping trolleys or school runs. Average fuel (diesel) consumption for this period was 13.5 l/100klms, used without the caravan it was 9.5 l/100klms.
Unfortunately I couldn't afford another Disco so I bought a Jeep - already having problems.

I purchased my Disco as a brand new vehicle in 2005, it has now travelled only 108,000 kms.
It has been regularly serviced & never done any serious off road nor towed a caravan.
I have replaced the Suspension Pump at 67,000 kms, the Front Suspension Upper Arms at 97,000 kms, Front Door Locking system & now the Air Conditioning compressor is showing signs of failure.
Maybe I have been unfortunate to buy a lemon but be warned.

Purchased 2012 SE new. Never had an issue, taken it bush, never missed a beat. The 4WD system is superb. Very happy and currently looking to change over to a new 2015 model but this time with Read Diff option for a bit more peace of mind off road. Excellent family car, surprisingly nimble around town. I've sat in the back with a mate on a road trip with both of us nudging 100kg and over 180cm and it was surprising comfortable, not cramped and plenty of headroom. A genuine 7 seater.

Done 228,000kms since new on all types of terrain. Never failed. Only repairs have been routine maintenance requirements.
Tows a 2.5 tonne gross caravan and appears to run better after towing the van.
It is comfortable with excellent road vision. Fitted with a lone ranger reserve tank giving an approximate range of 1600 to 1800 kms.
I would purchase another one any day if I could afford it.
I am sure the key to a long and reliable vehicle life is the correct servicing which mine receives from authorised Landrover Dealers or Landrover Specialists.

Just took delivery of a 2014 Discovery and so far the wife and I love it. We'll never take it off road we have no desire to do so. people who don't 4WD are allowed to buy them!
Mid year update 11k in and it's as good as they say, quiet, smooth and efficient, the fuel economy got better as it got older. You really need to test drive one and find a way to afford I did and couldn't be happier.
