thanks

[ZuranMarine]

Simply wonderful Discovery!!

[bigbob66615]

Struggling a little there with the slippery... might need some bigger tyres on it... :P haha

[USN1985dos]

Hey, I'm looking at buying a 2003-2005 LR Discovery, but I was wondering about the reliability issues, if they have any. My brother-in-law had one and it was always having trouble with these like overheating. Was that just a fluke vehicle, or is it common for these things?

[kop4321]

@USN1985dos Buy a disco one. If you're going to off road that is. And if you do not fix your car yourself, a Land Rover will rape your wallet.

[terayon1]

Good video! Thanks for sharing

[900GTi]

Lol 80s music

[gcollin75]

what year is the model?.

[sku70]

@gcollin75 ...It's a 1997 300Tdi :-)

[1996BulletProof]

one of the best disco's ive ever seen really cool

[flyingrv6]

Can anyone tell me if the new LR3's are as good as the older discos? And if so why??? Thanks!!!

[sku70]

@flyingrv6

The LR3's are a completely different vehicle to the older Disco's, they rely heavily on traction control, Hill

Descent Control and Terrain Response electronics, which makes them extremely capable off road without aggressive tyres....

To say LR3's are better or worse is a matter of opinion, and your intended use for the vehicle. I run an old one because theyre cheap and easy to work on/customise at home, and no electronic wizardry to go wrong!!

[geo201012]

Discovery super

[qbloke]

Top Gear - LMAO

[Matty7twin]

nice video but i would suggest new tyres , ones with more tred.happy 4x4ing

[sku70]

@Matty7twin ....they are BFG mud terrain KM's...with about 15mm of tread!!!...i wasnt spinning em up fast enough to clean em out.....Land Rover halfshafts + 35" tyres= Breakages if your not careful!

[sku70]

@Matty7twin

BFG MT muds fitted that were pretty new at the time...apparrently they use the mud from here to grease politicians with...

[Grindman3000]

What year is that?????

[9inchNirvana]

hahahaha "fuddymucker"

[IIoWnZGaLaXyYZz]

hi sku70 could you possably tell me what wheels are on that monster?

[sku70]

@IIoWnZGaLaXyYZz

10x15 Mangels 8 spoke wheels with positive offset :-)

[theeyelander]

how about we all calm down and grow up, great car and driver its not a bitch session ...seriously

[MeliusEsseQuamVideri]

very expert driver and very beautiful car

[raddler73]

love it , made me smirk n wish i could mod mine like yours but wife and finances wont let me !

[MrPiPPo]

brought tears to my eyes....

[sbrodacz]

What size lift and tires are you running?

[kinggoldfish68]

See you in the morning

[tudorino66]

SUZUKI SAMURAI RULES EM BLOOODY LANDIES !!!

[sku70]

@tudorino66 ....yeah, they are light, nimble, awesome off road, cheap n simple to maintain......until it comes to pulling something heavy out of a hole, then towing a 2 tonne caravan home from every event, and pulling a 3.5 tonne trailer, and seating 5 adults in comfort, and being used as a HGV towtruck, and carrying emergency Doctors/midwifes/district nurses to calls in bad weather....etc.etc.etc.... I think I will stick with what I've got, a Suzuki wouldn't be much use to me I'm afraid

[godzillaisnuclea123]

@tudorino66 in some ways but suzukis poor axle articulation can leave them stuck on axle twisters.

[MrCambridge2010]

@tudorino66 suzukis ..jap rubish.

[tudorino66]

@MrCambridge2010 BETTER THEN INDIAN RUBISH SO SHUT UP !!!!!

[sku70]

@tudorino66 ...Have you some sort of inferiority complex? Suzuki SJ's and Vitara's etc are great little off roaders...they just don't tick all my boxes for what I want from my vehicle. I really don't know why you are even comparing the two vehicles, they completely different, apart from 4 wheel drive. As for "Better than Indian rubbish so shut up".....grow up....really.

[sku70]

@MrCambridge2010 ....I disagree, Ive witnessed them in action off road, theyre good, not my cup of tea, but good all the same.

[codyaku]

hahah 1:14 all clean!!! :D

[davepx07]

I think the jeeps helped you out in WWII though.

I really don't think you can evenly compare a 30k vehicle with a 15k vehicle anyway.

I drive a mostly factory XJ 2.5L 4x4 and it's a great rig. I'd love a defender too.

[sku70]

@davepx07 ...The original 1948 Land Rover was based on a WWII jeep, using locally availble parts etc

Mostly factory = mostly reliable....whatever you drive! Your XJ will be a great 4x4, Its a shame more UK users dont take them of road!

[maverick00754]

@RovingLandRover jeeps are shit its allways a landrover pulling you fuckers out of trouble, how many jeeps do you see in 4x4 competitions none cause there shit.its not a true 4x4 there just a wanabee 4x4 basically they are there for woman to drive to pick the kids up from school.

[gildo93]

bloody power ballads...

[kinghilux]

Great vid, thats some very good off roading, nice disco too! What size tyres you running there?

[tomtom590]

great vid mate but do away with the pointless music

[sku70]

@tomtom590 The music is partly to dub out people talking and wind noise...on reflection, wind noise may have been the better option....

[graveshaker]

Judging by your video LS1XJ, you should have bought a rover. Discovery series 1s can be had for under $3,500. Both Jeep Cherokee and Rovers were close or near $30,000 when new but that was over 10 years ago. Now they both can be had for around the same price, in fact the rover blue books less.

[graveshaker]

@LS!XJ You do realize Disco ones are from 1995 to 1998, they can be bought for under $3500. I bought mine for $2500. Jeeps are nice vehicles and can be had for the same amount. It all boils down to preference. Your videos looks like you're having fun and this guy is certainly having fun, that's all that matters.

[TheUKTP]

they dont make shit jeeps in diesel bud

[dongoldney]

What a sensible driver???? i dont believe it. well done good driving

[LS1XJ]

@RovingLandRover look i dont care who in your family is the whore and while you may not be a "nigger" you stupid comments suggest otherwise. i never doubted the ability of the land rover i just have said that they are overpriced for what they can do. i have not yet seen a land rover do anything a jeep hasnt.

[sku70]

@LS1XJ ....Is it a jealousy thing??? Inferiority complex perhaps??? For all your arguments and off topic comments, and annoying childish 'Anything is better than yours' attitude...and this is all you can come up with....a stalled 4x4 in 2 ft of waterlogged road, We were expecting to see something a little more spectacular......

[LS1XJ]

@RovingLandRover first off i am not your sister so dont talk to me like that. second you knuckle dragging ape, i have videos posted on youtube so get your head out of your ass.

[nath0987]

nice ride pal, and nice driving, is that a winch in the front bumper/grille area?

[ShaqEatsAirplane]

The music make the video sound like a success story :D lmao Beautiful Disco !

[wildpratt]

You in the SJ are a retard you probably get laughed at by the kids walking home from school

[anthonywasere]

god sake get rid of this cheesy music. we want to hear the land rovers!!!!

[lr94rrcc]

@anthonywasere yea the theme was gay, but it sounded like an old superman movie lol

[R6rYamaha]

Looks like a peice of piss to me!

[fl350r]

@R6rYamaha - I'll bet you watched the whole video.

[anthonywasere]

@R6rYamaha nice!!

[anthonywasere]

yeah its good but better without the stupid music we want to hear the landrovers NOT MUSIC

[007Gofer]

bloody nice Disco........what tyre size?

[Randhi40]

I love watching someone who knows how to drive a capable machine. Nicely done, OP.

[GreenEyesRedBeams]

I love the 1:00 pssh I don't want to wait online (goes through mudpuddle)

[ZeroToleranceKnives]

Land Rovers are good off roaders but in truth they are some of the most unreliable vehicles. You'd be better off with a Toyota Land Cruiser or something.

[lr94rrcc]

@ZeroToleranceKnives i got a 99 D1 and has never broke down, EVER

everytime i did mess up, its cos i was in bonnet deep water with no snorkle...put the snorkle on and still have no problems with a 182k on the clock......and i hate it when a mechanic calls it a toyota or says "i think toyota makes those" no you idiot, sheesh

[sku70]

@ZeroToleranceKnives... I would not be better of with a Toyota as I already have a Land Rover built to my own spec...that is 100% reliable.

[kinggoldfish68]

Great vid,

What size are the tyre you got on it

[mefistoromano]

only DISCO !!!! NOLY LAND

[goku8384145]

can I bring my own 4x4?

[ktkl68]

Hello sku70! Very nice video... The closest thing to off road for me is drive to ski resorts and an annual Whistler family trip.. That aside I am also no clue noob when it comes too off road. I love the new LR 4 and want to get your opinion on the off road capabilities with all those Terrain Response stuff compared to maybe locking differentials. Also heard that body on frame is better, just for curiosity what is LR4? Thanks so much and once again nice video :)

[sku70]

@ktkl68 LR4 is a completely different vehicle to mine....virtually not comparable! Terrain response and complex eletronic traction aids are brilliant, and would probably be ideal for your family ski trips to Whistler. On wet grass or compact snow the electronics kick in and make light work of it. The older vehicle suits me, cheap, easy to maintain and DIY repairable. Body on frame is better if you intend taking it to bits, LR4 is monocoque construction, with indepenent air suspension

[ktkl68]

@sku70 thanks for your reply.

[ktkl68]

@sku70 thanks for the answer.

[davenato56]

Pukka vid mate, looks like a wicked course, wish I still me trusty old series 2

[brandonmatthew20]

Sick truck.  The tires don't appear to clean out very well though.

[TheProperjob]

sweeet video mate love you disco ;)

[roverdude99]

good vid, LS1xj....I have had 2 jeeps and 2 discoverys, both are good offroad, but i broke more stuff on the jeeps

[LS1XJ]

get a jeep and save 30 grand. I do this all the time in my 99 XJ and its stock

[sku70]

@LS1XJ Lets see some vids then...it will be good to see a stock XJ (Marketed as Cherokee here) go thru 3 foot deep slippery clay. We see very few Jeeps off road here, most of em are well modified tho.

[9crazy9white9boy]

@sku70 shit i paid 3500 for my disco and i looked up the lifts no where near 30 grand. and my jeep sucked it was a renegade my stock rover does better.

[lr94rrcc]

@sku70 LS1XJ is probably just trying to save 100 bux and not buy a camera haha

[LS1XJ]

@lr94rrcc yeah you got it right on there. i guess you missed the two videos that i do have posted.

[davidmkay]

@LS1XJ heres the differance... does your jeep have leather seats with ass warmers, 2 sunroofs, rear entertainment system, 7.1 channel surround sound harmon and kardon sreakers, power steering, power windows, power mirrors. etc etc... and thats the differance. btw the only moods this appears to have is a small lift and fat tires.

[LS1XJ]

@davidmkay you are correct, my jeep does not have leather seats, entertainment system, and surround sound. you see i left all that stuff at home. what my jeep has is as good off road abilities as this land rover with a much smaller price tag. if i wanted all the extra stuff i could have it and still have spent half the money. that and it is my humble opinion that if my jeep were outfitted as this land rover is, it would outperform it in every way.

[lr94rrcc]

@davidmkay lmao ur right only thing jeeps do is having doors easily removed.....i much rather be in my disco in the winter or the summer or in a mud hole lol

[wildpratt]

@LS1XJ Your a cock!!!! no jap shit compares to that disco

[LS1XJ]

@wildpratt you are a retard. i have a jeep moron. oh and by the way lots of "jap shit" would stomp that over priced boat anchor into the ground. you dont have to look to hard on youtube to find lots of videos of toyotas and nissans wheeling.

[wildpratt]

@LS1XJ OOOPs, i under estimated you, i have just read more of your comments, sorry i was wrong, your not a cock, you are a complete fucking TWAT

[rangieowner]

@LS1XJ yeah but you are a cheap prick tho arn't you

[mudandsnow1]

kick ass off road buggy and nice tire size but need better ones that dont banana peal so much

[eleknyari]

[HillaGoRila]

Where did you get your roof light bar? Ive got a Disco and cant find one

[trinders91]

[pickledeggfan]

Top Gun Anthem

[mefistoromano]

[ryanisnicer]

wow the song makes me want to rip my ears off.. other than that good vid

[SightPin]

What size/Brand of lift is on this Disco II?

[sku70]

Erm...it's a Disco 1.....About 3.5" lift, Pro-drive progressive springs and Pro-Comp ES9000+4" Shockers, Cranked + castor corrected HD front arms, and cranked, reinforced and lengthened HD arms rear. Custom A-Frame.

[hpa42x]

what size of tire? any performance stuff?

[sku70]

All sorts of stuff!!

Scroll down the posts for tyres etc, its all there somewhere! :-)

[sku70]

Sometimes a bit of momentum gets you through...sometimes a bit of showing off to camera = more right foot than needed too!

I like your vids!

[rangerover01]

what size have the disco star

[rangerover01]

hey awesome , but where is this trial.

im from florida it is too far ?

[wakarua860]

nice one Stu

[socalangelsfan]

My final decisions were.....

nissan Xterra or a Disco.......

My wife wouldnt even test drive the disco

Damn Nissan. has been very reliable tho and does more than expected off road....

Just not a Disco...should have traded her in!

[sku70]

Your Xterra will do good off road, A Disco might have the edge when the going gets very tough, but only just, a lot of it depends on driving ability too!!

[socalangelsfan]

totally agreed.

I dont offroad nearly as much as I did when first bought. the X does well as for a stocky but you are absolutely correct with the talent of the driver makes a huge difference.

[tommyg794]

class, makes me proud to own one

[Manhattans]

Great Vid I wanted to watch it over and over againg but after the second time, I found myself putting on the Top Gun DVD insted! cheers

[brianhoskins1979]
