Never watched your vlogs until now. Very interesting reading the comments. Based on what you said : BMW X5 40d 7 seater. Pulls anything on the market. As do others. Best Car IMO.

I’m a ex HGV tanker driver for a well known tanker company, you must do what is right not what your opinion says, you dont pass your HGV /LGV driving test on opinion you pass it on safety and capability on the day, and what’s right on the day is vital, a mandatory towing test should be provided when purchasing a caravan , however your so right about the breakaway cables it’s about time we all get this advice as standard, Free of charge of course) safety shouldn’t cost !!, towing can be fun but HGV drivers and especially coach drivers can make it so dangerous for the novice when they speed past at high overtaking speed. I can go on about this for ever and ever, we all enjoy the holiday box so let’s get behind them, holiday boxes are great fun let’s all get one 👌👍

Me, the wife and my son went to this. With our Transit Custom LWB being converted into a Campervan over the next month it was great to go somewhere local to see what's out there. We want to get one of the lean to awnings so it was cool to see those.

good reminder about the 7 pin cable i connected to plug looked fine , then a 100 mile later arriving on site with no lights or indicators ,i only found this out as i went to unhitch and could see the cable had lost its outer sheath along the bottom edge and damaged some of the wires, how i thought ,it still had 4-5 inches of ground clearance, it was at this point i gained some experience, with the car loaded with 5 passengers the rear of the car dropped so now its not got the same clearance ,then factor in the roads undulations creating bounce on the rear it meant the cable kept contacting the ground hence the problem, on a longer trip it would have probably gone right through, so its all good advice thanks ,

Use the motor mover if you have one people, if not get a decent banks person, my mate has a prosthetic leg and does just fine, so listen people and take good advise if it suits lol, I’ve done this for 25yrs and still get palpitations every time I hitch up 👍👍

I’m glad someone is ‘shouting’ about not wrapping breakaway cable around detachable towbar. So many do it as easier/don’t know. Thanks

Not all tow bar assemblies have a dedicated attachment point for a breakaway cable, how it should be attached depends on whether you have a fixed or detachable tow bar and also whether you have a carabiner or the older spring clip on the cable If you have a detachable tow bar assembly which doesn't have a dedicated point for the breakaway cable then wrapping it around the neck is correct I will however agree that it's not ideal and there's a high chance the system won't apply the brakes in the event of a detachment which is why I personally would only choose a tow bar assembly with a dedicated point Caravan Guard did a excellent video on the different types of breakaway cables and how they should be attached to different types of assemblies, that's well worth a watch th-cam.com/video/e2IcPIihreI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=V6vmIC74bFFV4VuJ

Dealers, I feel they have lost their way you are the customer treat them fairly and honestly 🤦🏻

I know what you’re saying. We recently bought a new car it wasn’t the best experience😟

Made the right choice there mate honestly loads more out there just finding the right one and moving on it asap when you do 😊

Hi. After 30 years of owning driving the Land Rover brand, I moved away due to high insurance and reliability. I did have a big list for my next car, and I ended up with the Mazda Cx60 3.3 diesel...it's not been without its issue, which were quickly sorted, but I'm glad I changed It's powerful, and it's brilliant on mpg.

Good decision, plenty more cars out there 👍

I bet you went for the Rexton..... I knew you would 🤣 7 seats, 4x4 3.5 towing rating. 😂🤣

good decision Oliver ,you'd kick yourself if you bought it and it had problem,

I tow my caravan with a D300 Defender 110 23 plate. Fabulous tow car. However sounds like that Discovery has been traded in due to a problem so walk away from it. Plenty more out there.

I'd definitely Walk (running for the hills eg Toyota landcruiser may be sound opposite option) before anyone says it but you got a volvo xc70 d5 yes I love it 200k 2011auto does everything well for me and my needs but a landcruiser is that bit more to me I don't not dislike land-rover at all but that particular one smells of a bag lemons don't have to like my opinion either each to their own 😊😊not all land-rover are bad either some good ones made it out the factory 😇👀

Personally I wouldn't get that car, new turbo 900 miles ago and it's now for sale....and coolant light being on you would think they would have topped it up before. I'm a mechanic for VW and for what you are wanting you can't go wrong with a Touareg or maybe even Amarok they are both brilliant for towing. Have you considered getting a truck? I have a Amarok as my tow car and I love it! Good luck with what ever you decide to do though 😊👍🏻

Walk away buddy plenty more about. Could be the start of something. Most warranties when it's land rover aren't worth anything. I would steer clear of land rover too many issues and expensive service and parts

Crystal clear after 😎

Looks great 👍🏼 what polish did you use?

Keep it. There WILL be a time that you'd use it.

Nice job 👌🏼

I bought a 71 plate Discovery with the D300 engine. Absolutely brilliant car, tows my Swift Elegance like it wasn't there! What I would say though is if you have any alarm bells ringing, walk away - there's lots of them out there. Just do your due diligence first. I love Land Rovers - had a Freelander 2 for 16 trouble free years - so I know how you feel, but head needs to rule heart.

Hi, we upgraded our car nearly 2 years ago and was stuck between the Discovery 5, Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90. We went with the 2020 Q7 Black Edition so would be a similar year to the Disco you are looking at, might be worth a look at the Q7 too as it a 3 litre diesel, air suspension, 7 seats and 3.5t towing capacity 👍🏼 When we bought ours we didn’t have a caravan but it came with the electric deployable tow bar which is so worth the money! But we picked our caravan up last feb (Bailey Unicorn Segovia) and it tows the 1800 mtplm a dream! Only downside is MPG with the caravan on the back is around 20 but who cares when you’re on holiday 🤙🏼 without the caravan you can get high 40’s on a run though. I would say the boot space is less than the disco though as it’s a more sleek design but that hasn’t ever bothered us even with 2 kids and all the gear they come with! It’s been a faultless car in the time we’ve had it and we’ve added nearly 20k miles onto it, the only issue we’ve had was the alternator recently gave up but it was covered by Audi for 7 years so all changed under manufactures warranty along with a courtesy car so we can’t complain, anyway hope this helps and hope you find the right new car!

stunning cars and amazing tow vehicle but they don't have the reputation for no reason, I'm of course biased but if you don't need 7 seats I'd recommend the VW Touareg, a lot of motor for the money, 3ltr with a 3.5t towing capacity, I'd just recommend finding one with air suspension, a rare option unless you get a black edition which has it as standard

Hi I would walk away something ringing my alarm bell

I have a Discovery Sport and got my fingers burnt with a Warranty Wise Warranty. I swapped to a Land Rover Warranty. I suppose in short I would say if it's not a Land Rover Warranty walk away.

Have you looked at the Ssangyong Rexton? 3.5 towing rating, and lots of toys.... Keep up the good work 👍🏻

It looks a beauty pal, but I think I'd keep looking, try Oakdene Cars at Alfreton he has some right beauties, happy searching,🙂

Walk right away, fast. Hyundai Santa Fe or Kia Sorrento.

I would walk away and find a better one. Also if salesmen say yes the warranty covers this, that and everything else ask for it in writing as they always find a loop hole somewhere. They can make you pay for a warranty, only recommend. I won’t buy one I have been bitten in the past.

Hi congrats on 500 subscribers with regards to the disco I highly recommend buying one we bought ours a year and half ago but I’m assuming the one your looking at isn’t from a Landrover dealer we brought ours from Synter it is a 68 plate hse Luxury and was just short of 40000 miles and we had a few issues but I have to say Synter we’re very good and sorted everything out and gave us a replacement car (a brand new defender) to use while they took the necessary time to sort our car to our satisfaction the we have a Bailey unicorn Cabrera at 1600kg the car pulls it with absolutely no effort whatsoever and although fuel economy is a little on the high side in general but we hardly notice the difference when towing and as for space inside the car we just couldn’t be happier so if I were in your shoes if i am correct in saying that the car your interested in isn’t from a Landrover dealer I would consider not buying that one but look at Landrover dealers as you seem to get a proper warranty all be it only a year but you can extend it as we’ve done it is expensive but at least you have peace of mind I hope this helps and good luck

Avoid it like the plague. An overnight run by the manager will not give an accurate condition of the coolant level. Don’t let them con you!!

I think deep down you do know, I’m sure they’ll be others. But not good if it’s already showing problems, We’ve just bought a Discovery Sport ourselves but would’ve walked away if something was suss Congratulations on your 500 subs it’s lovely to see more caravan vloggers out there 😊

Please please please pull the plug on the LR thats the one we had before the RR sport it was in the garage 17 times in 12 months! We rejected it back and lost a lot of money on it

Have a look at the GLE 7 seater 👍🏼 our 5 seater toes our van like a dream!!!

Walk away from the deal

Congratulations on your subscribers! 🎉 We had a Land Rover for nearly 10 years and never thought we’d not have a Land Rover but last year we swapped to a R Line VW Touareg and have to say we’re really impressed with it and you get a lot for your money. We needed to make sure we had something that could pull our twin axle over the alps/ Pyrenees in the summer heat. Good luck with the tow car search! ✨

Huge congrats on getting to 500 subs pal. As per the car - just walk away. The market is full of good vehicles at the moment - find another one. 👍

there is an opinion that if you see a Land Rover on the road, it means it is going for repairs

Congratulations on the subs and watched hours 🎉 Keep up the good work and loving the content! Me personally would probably avoid that one as it wouldn't sit right, With Land Rover having that stigma on reliability issues sounds like the car is a bit of a lemon and you'll buying a can of worms, A vehicle like that needs to have no warning light and full service history with belts etc, I would highly recommend looking at the Volvos as I was in a similar position and ended up with a XC90, Good luck with the search

Been looking at tow vehicles, probably go phev as we also have a tesla so 50 miles day to day would be great. Xc90 or the merc gle would be good it's diesel phev.

Hi. Congratulations on your subs. I've been caravaning for years. In all that time . I've towed with a van like you. It's a renault trafic sport with an coachman acadia xtra. Not everyone's cut of tea. But it works for me,I live in Scotland and use it all season. And in all that time I have never been stuck or bogged down. I can accommodate 6 people all my gear bikes dog etc. And still get great mileage with it. Personally it's up to you . Wether you go for luxury or reliability. It's just your luck with motors as you probably know. Some good some bad. But good luck. And I'm sure you will make the right decision. Keep up the great with videos really enjoy them.

go with your gut. I think you already know the answer

Have a look at a BMW X5

Congratulations on hitting 500!! 🎉 We’ve just bought a discovery, beautiful cars.. we pick it up this week. We did a lot of research into the engines because of this. Hubby knows more but it’s the newer 2L they seem to be having trouble with.

i would say check warranty with a fine tooth comb, then do a milage check and visual inspection of high wear areas to see how its been looked after ask your self could i get another one just like it for the same money, if not is the saving enough to cover a heavy bill From JLR if anything did go wrong ,

Congratulations mate well done. That’s a hard one with the car lovely motor but I don’t know if that would sit right with me. If I found out about the turbo like you did and they couldn’t provide proof that that problem was solved I don’t think I would go for it personally. At least you found that out though, buying a car is such a minefield mate! When I got my Volvo I cut my hands open from window glass under the passenger seat alarm bells start ringing I thought it had been stolen or something why else would there be glass everywhere so I went back to the dealer and they had know idea it was there! 🤔ps it wasn’t stolen 🤦🏼‍♂️😆
