Chris Dodkin West Coast Correspondent Feb 19, 2012 #3 Welcome to the wonderful world of the Discovery Grez! Fabulous vehicles - yours looks all lovely and shiny - bet you're well chuffed I drive an 08, which has 115,000 miles on now - had a few issues, but I LOVE it

G Graeme Harvey Guest Feb 19, 2012 #4 Well, this was the old one.... Finally gave up the ghost with an OTT quote for the MOT last week. Had it 11 years and it's the best car I've had to date. If this is even half as good it will be a legend! Mixed emotions, but looking forward to motoring in the 21st century.

Chris Dodkin West Coast Correspondent Feb 19, 2012 #6 I think you'll find the differences are all positive Better handling, much better/quieter ride, smaller turning radius, more comfy, more capable off-road - leaks less! The folding seats and flat loadspace are just genius! I hang out on DISCO3.CO.UK - Index and have been able to get great input there on the vehicle, and any issues etc. Assume your UK model is diesel?

G Graeme Harvey Guest Feb 19, 2012 #8 @ Daz: With dinner at your Hotel after as well.... sounds like a good day out! @ Chris... thanks for the tips and stuff. I'd noticed just how much more refined it is than the old one... seems like a longer boot area too. As for the turning circle, the old one was more of a straight line. Yes it's a diesel.... 2.7l V6 and quite a bit more pokey than the old 4 cylinder 2.5Tdi. Last edited by a moderator: Feb 19, 2012
