"Unbeatable value for money"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

A leak in the windscreen seal causing water ingress into the cabin along the roofline, sometimes coming out in the front seat-belt openings!

General comments?

The Td5 Discovery is simply brilliant in all aspects. The Irish Commercial Van version is a handy way of avoiding heavy taxation and also acts as a competent load carrier.

The entire vehicle is extremely well designed and handles well on most roads (especially in other countries outside of Ireland), like a sportscar in fact.

It is a lot quieter than previous Discoverys and produces 40mpg plus on the open road away from cities.

I would have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in recommending the Td5 Discovery to anyone seeking the very best 4x4 on the current market.

Although the performance is very impressive the fuel comsumption of my td5 does not match that of my 300 discovery. I believe there are known weaknesses in the gearbox, although automatics are OK they are less economical and are sluggish.
