have had a Lr 90 .probably the best 4x4 of road, not the most comfy , toyota hylux good but then had a new nissan navara 04 plate , good veichle , then changed it to 56 plate navara great to drive on the road but needs mud terrain's on it to get about, but have spent a fortune on repairs on it. can't coment on disco's

Discovery 2 gets my vote, td5 is a lovely engine, and its chain driven cam so no flimsy cambelt worries. As capable as a defender offroad, lots more comfy. Kumho kl71's are a good tyre, bit noisy on road but excellent offroad and look the part too Some people asking silly money for them at the moment, paid 5k for my 2003, and probably another 2k on "extras", but then i've always been into my off roadin. D3 even nicer, lovely drive, awesome engineering, let down by ridiculous electronic handbrake that seizes on and squeals all the time, problems with major steering components and difficult to work on engine, ask any mechanic about cam belt and turbos on a d3! To start with LR service schedules listed that to replace i think the turbo on a D3 the whole body had to be lifted away from the chassis. Great for lr not so great if you're paying.

I think when our td5 van bites the dust I will look at a toyota LC4 van possibly from ireland. The LR D3 and 4 is just too much money too many faults and difficult to work on. Shame as I will still need to get my LR fix somewhere the Jap stuff is just souless
