Hi I thought I would write a review of my TD5 ES as most of the reviews on here were very old and I thought a newer review would be helpful when looking to buy a secondhand td5 as some are 11 years... more

    4 Stars Land Rover Discovery 2.5 TD5 GS 5 seat 08/05/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent traction, driving good, bullet-proof, good residual values

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Heavy in town, fuel consumption, minor niggles

    My Land Rover Discovery 2.5 TD5 GS is the 5-seat model, first registered in December 1999. It was bought in June 2000 for £20,000, having cost approximately £27,500 new. It had nearly 5000 miles on the clock. Bodywork was and is immaculate and the previous owner (a rural chemist) buys a new one quite frequently (every 6 months!). This car had also had lamp protectors and fog lamps fitted over the standard spec, with floor mats and mudflaps also fitted. The point at which bought it was just after the start of the drop in new and used prices and appeared to be priced to keep cash flow going as ... more

    3 Stars great for towing but nothing else 26/09/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great for towing, excellent driving position

    Disadvantages Disadvantages bumpy when not towing

    I'm only writing this opinion based on the fact that I hired one at the weekend for towing - unfortunately like most people out there I couldn't afford one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (unless I write about 2000 reviews for ciao a day!!!!!) I have my own horse trailer, 2 horses and a mondeo - now as most of you will know - the mondeo will tow 1 horse but to tow 2 it would - but illegally of course - but wanting to go a far distance and wanting to take 2 horses I needed a vehicle that could do the job properly!!! As I was letting a friend ride one of my horses we decided to hire a vehicle and share ... more

    5 Stars Land rover Discovery TD5 26/12/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages 4 wheel drive with lowering prices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little soft on cornering

    If you have the money to spare and are looking for a car that has Looks - Style - Comfort - Reliability and a real name that's had a good following over the years, I would highly recommend the Land rover Discovery. The biggest asset at the moment is that the price throughout the range has been reduced dramatically due to the recent changes in importation and dealership, and if you shop around you really can pick up an excellent deal, Even Secondhand. With the TD5 ( Turbo Diesel ), you get real quality even with the earlier models. The only drawback with the earlier ones is that the ride tends ... more

    5 Stars Off-roading made classy 06/11/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Enormously powerful off-roader, quite comfortable and relatively easy to fix and maintain

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hungry and noisy, needs ECU upgrade to fully exploit its capabilities

    I had Disco 2 TD5 for a year and a half now and am very pleased with it. It's just as capable off-road as a Defender, but much more comfortable and will get you there in style. Reliability is generally not a problem - unless you count broken front differential, amongst other things, but mine is a proper off-roader, and is used accordingly. Mine is a "facelift" model, reg late 2002, and I recommend it over the earlier ones, mostly because of active cornering system, which makes driving nearly 3 tons worth of machinery a relatively easy task. Can't comment on MPG, because my car is by no means ... more

    4 Stars Discovery TD5 ES 7 10/03/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Goes and carries everything, everywhere.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not quickly....

    I've owned the Discovery for 2 years now. Yes it's had problems, a lot of these were down to previous owner and where he took it for repairs though. I rebuilt the head after gasket failure, only to find someone had already been in there and 'bodged' it. Radweld should be banned..... After getting it running like it should do, I can say that I will keep this car as long as it still runs. It does everything. It goes everywhere. It carries and pulls anything. We go skiing in the Pyrenees every year, the Disco does the job perfectly. Carries all the kit, no problems. Camping in the summer, not a ... more
