Great discussion guys, thanks! We run a fleet of 9 disco 4s. Purchased at 100k km. Now all over 200k km. They work very hard on gravel and tar every day. We’ve had all discos, including Range Rover sport tdv8, Lr4 is phenomenal, never have any issues. Best value for money on a second hand car out there!
@@MarkVinewood I agree the Disco 5 looks to soft and curvy, its a great car don't get me wrong I've been in a few and they're really nice and luxurious and probably just as capable as the previous gen Disco but it just doesn't look it.
Wyatt is a man that I've been massively impressed with. I once went to his lot to look at a disco 2 td5 many many years ago. I was a young person at that time. He simply handed me the keys to go for a drive on my own. I was so impressed that he trusted me with it. I wish him ALL success in future. May the Lord Jesus Christ God and His Holy be with him.
I recently had a privilege to drive the Discovery 4 SDV6HSE what a machine fuel efficient lots of power comfort and clear visibility. This vehicle is absolutely great on urban driving and it is superb off road too. Overall it's a stunning allrounder
I had an LR3 - amazing engine, but it and had many oddball issues. I now have a 2012 LR4 with the V8 - zero problems/super reliable and perfect in nearly every sense. The transmission is much much better, the additional horsepower and the excellent reliability make it near perfect.
My LR3 is paid off the 15th of April 2020. Problem is I am driving a Toyota Fortuner for the last 4 years. I will never buy a Land Rover again. It is one of the best 4x4's by far. HOWEVER, the maintenance is unaffordable. Battery on the key goes dead? Order a new key from England. R5000 later... Very expensive battery. Have a vibration in 3rd gear under load? Change the oil. Oil only available at the dealer. R1000 a litre, (takes 07 liters), drive 40 km, tap it and put in another 07 liters @R1000 per litre. Plus R1800 for the filter for a grand total of R18000. And then you sell it. Trade it in at Landrover in Nelspruit. Paid R270 000, drove it 04 years with a immaculate service history. Best offer: R70 000. As I said, traded it in on a Fortuner (and I am not a Toyota Fanboy) but in the last 03 years I serviced and put on new tyres. That is it! I miss it's abilities but it's unreliability caused a lot of financial hardship to my family.
Agree regarding changing auto trans fluid on d3. Lr dealer don't recommend doing it. Knowledgeable non franchised do recommend it. Obviously better to do it even though it is a pita job on this car. In North America d3 4.4 v8 more reliable than 5.0 d4. Recommend regular oil changes with very good synthetic 5w40 in 4.4 and will run for ever.
What sorts of problems does the 5.0 Jaguar V8 on Disco 4 have? I thought that the 4.4 was BMW's most problematic engine of the modern times with it eating VANOS valves and so on...
The 4.4 in the D3 is not a BMW engine it's a jag engine. By far one of the best engines to come out of Britain in a long time. It's basically bulletproof. The D4's 5.0 has timing chain issues and water pump issues.
shocked beyond belief, in Australia they won best off road car, that means they spend most of their life OFF ROAD in a workshop, accessing turbos and anything else is a nightmare, sorry i bought my d4, when it is going ok, it is amazing, towed a 3800kg load from Sydney to Sunshine Coast over steep terrain, the car is rock solid, but oh geeze the fault codes are never ending particularly, engine shutting down because of stability control and emergency brake warnings, restart the warnings go, it is so dangerous when this occurs on a busy highway, never again buy LR
Iv heard on disco 3 the injectors and the control arms n ties rods definately go bad frequently so this is a new one tht even the gearbox is a problem. Good thing they stopped making it 2019
The 2.7V6 diesel have some issues, but you can avoid them wit regular maintenance. The 4.4V8 runs on petrol and it's last forever. But as any other car in the world they need to be care.
Disco 3 unpleasant place to be....... really! Have you seen a 1980s defender? That is unpleasant. My sister died in one when it rolled in the fog. She died of hypothermia as there was no heater. RIP, Jill.
David Hayes friend of mine bought a defender and had to send it back to LR to get the oil leaks put in. An old school friend drowned with leaks in the cab when it rained one day and he couldn't open the door. It's real bad, my uncle needed a hip replacement due to years sitting on an angle to the pedals and then amputated his right arm, to avoid having to put it out the window in order to fit into the cab! Good news - LR have now stopped making them for the UK!
All landrovers especially Discos and RR are junk, rusting chassis, suspension components rust out, brake lines are weak and split, issue after issue after issue... have large bank balances to keep them running, think about it before being nostalgic...

Both are better than the new Dicovery.
says who?
Disco 5 just looks like RR Sport had a baby with Evoque. It's probably still a good and capable car but I liked the boxy look of Disco 4 much more.

I had a discovery 3 but traded it for a discovery 4 and much prefered the discovery 3 for some reason

RL R fucking lol
was that a 2.7td ? what was the fuel consumpt
@@gerceci1my lr3 does around 260 mile to £60
I swear at first I thought it was Alex Jones until he started talking :D
The one saying Discovery 4 in giant silver letters on the back is the Discovery 4, correct :D
Great interview there. Disco4 is the way to go.

After years I still can't afford buying this😔

Good video
I love the 3-4 shape ....hate the new shape
That's the MarketSniper!! Cometh the man cometh the hour!
What is the currency you are discussing? When you say 200k and 300k for pricing this seems extreme. Brand new Discos in USA go between $65k and $80k.
200k in South African Rand is about USD15k
I believe the biggest difference is, one you don't buy and the other you do.
disco 3 when chipped stops the turbo lag with increased speed and better emissions
LR3 = 3 wives I can say that after ten years of owning it ! But I like it sometimes and hate it more but I’m not regrets
Great job 👍, excellent explaining. Friends now
Appreciated this greatly

accessing turbos couldnt be easier, simply lift the body off the chassis dude
I think they should both be called Disco 3. The 4 should be a face-lift 3.
Yes but the LR4 has major issues with their Timing belts. 7k fix.
Diesel?
Petrol or diesel 🤔 please?
Also no mention of the ld3 manual gearbox
Lancruiser is nearest front door,,,says enough lol
Would you buy a disco 3 with 250 kms for 120k?
just don't. engine problems on the way. did you buy it?
More power but shears the cranks on lr4 10,000gbp to fix
Wish we had the diesel in usa
Thanks for the great info. I'm going to invest my hard earned cash and buy an American built SUV.
Sorry to hear that
solid gold
I own the Disco 3 and Range Rover Sport, will I bought another land rover? Hell NO, too much maintenance everything breaks on these vehicles smh
Nice overview
how much it is
Iv heard on disco 3 the injectors and the control arms n ties rods definately go bad frequently so this is a new one tht even the gearbox is a problem. Good thing they stopped making it 2019
Suzuki jimny every time
i'll come see you guys..
Please do so. We can help you with your choice
You are talking about those turds when you have a real SUV(reliable) Toyota Land cruiser Prado
exactly,,in video its nearest his front door,,say it all lol
Diesel will last longer than a petrol? What is this guy smoking? A petrol will never see the kilos `n diesel will give you!
Pietsnot diesel is better
Totally agree. A well looked after diesel will outlast a petrol and return a lot better mpg. I get 34mpg from my disco 3
petrol last longer as that Peugeot v6 diesel motor breaks cranks
Baie danke 😀
Poor video quality - poor comparisons
Money pits kings
But they all lack a certain character that is only found in the Disco 1 300tdi
I bet you prefer drinking mead to modern IPA too

Ha ha he doesn’t even know the actual year,
I have heard that the discovery 3 has a lot of problems
MasterCraftBoyHarvey your either going to have one that never breaks down or one that always breaks down
The 2.7V6 diesel have some issues, but you can avoid them wit regular maintenance. The 4.4V8 runs on petrol and it's last forever. But as any other car in the world they need to be care.
Lord Ollie - agreed just like lucky lottery
and you heard this from ??? Let me guess, someone who owns a toyota.

@@edwardcharles9764 Thats funny lol
Land rover is kind of vehicle you should never buy! If you don't believe me? Then buy it and try....
Thats why I have a D3 on 370,000km and a D4 on 360,000km still driving like new
All landrovers especially Discos and RR are junk, rusting chassis, suspension components rust out, brake lines are weak and split, issue after issue after issue... have large bank balances to keep them running, think about it before being nostalgic...
do you think these two WHITE GUYS are still alive in South Africa today ?
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Good job you capitalised that. Wouldn’t have realise they were WHITE otherwise
