1997 Land Rover Discovery se7 review from Australia and New Zealand
"A very good purchase as a second hand 4wd"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far I haven't had anything go wrong with the car. in fact it has proved to be very comfortable and reliable.
General comments?
The land rover discovery is the sort of vehicle that tends to grow on you, the longer you own it the more you begin to appreciate how capable it is. as a 4wd it has almost no peers with solid axles and four coil springs combined with a center diff lock offering dual range ratios it can crawl over anything throwen at it. The short wheel base and excellent approach and departure angles have gotten into places even patrols or cruisers could not.
