1997 Land Rover Discovery TDI review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Over 26,000 miles in 15 months, had windscreen washer pack up once, nothing else.
General comments?
Great driving position and comfortable front passenger seat, back more comfortable for kids due leg room than adults on long trips. Mid range (say 40-70mph) acceleration slow but comfortably tops published top speed (ie can go over 90mph easily). Diesel good mpg and aircon great optional extra with separate front/back settings. Problem for old people to get in as v high and no step like some 4*4's have. Boot a bit vertical which can make taking lot of luggage tricky to pack. Great to drive on v wet or icy roads, seems v stable.
