2000 Land Rover Discovery TD5 review from Australia and New Zealand
"A Great Offroad Machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much has gone wrong with the car.
Had a small hole in a fuel tube which leaked diesel from the engine bay.
Few creaks and rattles
Standard sound system is not very good (speakers rattle)
A recall for fly wheel which had to be replaced.
General comments?
Well the discovery is a great 4wd it has the ability to go anywhere. I have just completed a off road trip and found the discovery perfect for bush driving. It offers style and prestige when driving in the city and handle's well for a 4wd. After owning a series 1 discovery I found the series 2 HEAPS better and it is definitely worth the update if you can afford it!.
Its great for snow trips although we did get bogged in the snow and had to get towed out by a Range Rover!. other than that it has been great! If you can ignore the creaks and rattles in the interior then it is a great car to live with!.
