I used to have a disco 3 2009 we had it it from New and we had been everywhere in it! It was a proper rig! Unfortunately we sold it 2 years ago with about 160,000 miles of so! Miss that old girl💪👌
Great vid mate I run my discovery3 on Goodyear dura tracks found them to be a good all round tyre yea know where you're coming from with the brakes ive upgraded mine slot better now discovery you gota love em above and beyond 👍👍🇬🇧
Great video, the prices of late low mileage d4 gone up over £6000, u have late 16 landmark, I had to replace a tyre recently and got a used Goodyear eagle f1at with 7mm tread for £65, no repairs etc. Regards mark
Thats not a 16 Discovery, its pre facelift, the facelift has the SDV6 badge where the indicators are on the side, John's has the indicator and the older headlights
Absolutely the best car in the world, awesome power , versatility and comfort, quiet as a church mouse , well worth the investment and running costs , and nothing , nothing comes close to their towing capabilities .....
The vast majority of builders and farmers in the republic use Toyota lc and hiluxs. When the disco 3 was new a lot of people gave them a go, but most users did not go back to LR. A lot of the buyers of new discoveries are urban families and their use is mainly school runs and family cars.
Got 2 Discos and a Defender and guess what the best tyres are the ones that come from the factory.. Pirelli Scorpion Zeros for the Discos and Continental Cross Conti for the Defender. Get you anywhere and decent mileage. Ad blue in last Discos and they are not 4s that name was dropped at same time as Discovery appeared on bonnet.
No complaints, we try not to be driving about making ruts in men's fields so we're not extreme offroading but did you see the day we broke the top on some bog? th-cam.com/video/REv47H2kWp4/w-d-xo.html
I generally find people who rubbish the D3/4 have usually never driven one. Until you do, you don't appreciate they are in a different league comfort wise. Crankshaft issue does seem to be a lottery though. There are ones with 250K going strong & ones with 65K needing a new engine. Another option is to buy a decent used car warranty for it. That way you're not out crazy money if it does calve on you.
I’ve got one next I have to do is change cam belt , timing belt auxiliary belts and oil pump money money money just replaced brake pipes and front drop suspension bushes £700 odd pound later but I love her ❤️
Am with ya John with tyres. I got new tyres for me quad last year cause the old original maxis tyres were only 2 year old but were worn down and started to weather check and I could here a slit hiss now and again pullin a heavy trailer and me grandad said you've got plenty tyre left but I said the same as you, ya need tyres to drive, corner and stop

Alan probably would be rollin the eyes at ya changing those shoes John lol
Alan's not the only one in the office with that perspective on tyres 😜

When joys of being a disco owner :)
What does the disco tow like? I love how quick my isuzu dmax is but the brakes are shocking unless you have a load on the back.
Who works at the disco 4 for you??? Anyone good local? Great vehicle ..comfort and very capable

Adblue! Oh dear....
How do the road looking tyres perform off road.?

No doubt... unlimited budget it would still be the daily run around of choice even if we could afford a sports car for the weekend ;)
When’s the new Jonner getting some airtime ?
Be a while yet :)
I’ve got one next I have to do is change cam belt , timing belt auxiliary belts and oil pump money money money just replaced brake pipes and front drop suspension bushes £700 odd pound later but I love her ❤️
Aye parts for them are collossal!
Land cruiser is what you want
Been there... fixed the gearbox... split-tailgate is the greatest tool we have!
Get some cooper all terrains on her I used to run them on my old disco 3, they lasted about 2 years and had plenty of hrip
Disco 3 has a different rim size
@@farmflix you can get cooper all terrains in different sizes im sure , disco 3 was 17inch rims
the air conditioning must be fun with that dust haha
In fairness the A/C has never given any trouble, changed the cabin filter tho and it was pretty dirty :P
Drive her on for another 12 months change them before the test 👍
Am with ya John with tyres.

Hard to operate without them... Gets a bit slippy in the silage field on the slicks!
Slurr
Man with to much money if your changing them
No tow bar on the hearse Duffman... Times be hard if you can't afford to keep the tyres legal and safe 😘
Farmflix your write
Start a “go fund me” page for your new engine!! 🤣
Will you get the ball rolling with a three-zero donation? 😂
Give me a free polo and I’ll see what I can do!! Ps. A 3 zero donation could be £1.000, £10.00 or £1000😂 regarding tyres I like Yokohama or Hankook.
We'll have to negotiate the definition of three zeros first as a backstop and then we can chat merch 😂
I stopped watching when you called it a jeep 😡😂
He knows the difference but it's like referring to a digger as a JCB.... a habit more than a fact ;)
New defender John 😂😂😂
Send her up we'll test her!
She’s no landcruise
I was waiting on that comment... Been there, wrecked the gearbox 😜
Any jobs going 😂💰💰
Yup
How to spend 10 mins talking about fucked tyres
lol think it maybe strayed into more of a Landrover conversation in the end
ford ranger is a good job 2
Having the camera operator under cover does a lot for us... Pickup isn't the future without a remote control camera!
What's the crack with this 'sirrrr' carry on. Bit annoying
It's a mid-ulster thing ;)
