Well my first Disco (ex wife has D4 TDV6 HSE though) I picked it up as a run around to carry and tow during renovations but have to say I am pretty impressed with the way it drives being a 1999 poverty pack V8 auto with only 106,000km and had a PPI by a LR shop and they said it was probably one of the best they had seen. Not sure why I need 3 V8's but damn they sound good! I am going to replace radiator hoses, thermostat, cap, servce radiator, valve cover gaskets (a little weepy) coil, plugs, rotor, dizzie cap, leads, serpentine belt, all filters and service trans. Am I being a bit OCD....car runs perfectly but last serviced a few years back (only a couple of thousand kms driven)
Moving to Tasmania on New Years Day....and I suspect I will probably do some off roading down there now that I have a capable vehicle

 

welcome aboard

 

I like turtles...

 

you like spamming/trolling ....


to OP: welcome, don't mind if you get harsh responses at first takes a bit to acclimate newbies

 

Huh? You cray...

 

Use a thin bead of right stuff or your favorite oil resistant sealant on the valve covers.

 

well on a few forums and I think LR guys might even be a bit kinder than BMW and Porsche forums I will remember the tip for the valve covers.

 

Or you could just make sure the valve cover bolts are tight

 

What is a "poverty pack"?

 

sorry...poverty pack is an aussie expression meaning that it has pretty much no options fitted...bit like "classic" or "CV= customer value"
I also liked the fact that my car had no options like electronic aids, airbags etc
