![]() The wheel articulation is also the best I've seen in any stock setup. With its torque filled v8 and locking centre differential, I'm always pulling out over ambitious jeep owners from the mud. Fuel consumption is high which was to be expected. It's not particularly fast, but it can get out of its own way and has no problem doing highway speeds. No stock setup can beat this, maybe the 100k Mercedes G wagon. After doing basic maintenance that anyone should do when getting a used auto (change all fluid/belts and filters and plugs) the only thing to go wrong in two years of daily driving has been the water pump. Despite its age, having over 100k miles, and being hit and sunk by a hurricane, the car has been flawless. I live in a shore town, and picked this up for a couple hundred after it was drowned by the hurricane. ![]() I picked up my discovery fairly cheap after Hurricane Sandy decimated the Jersey Shore. They are great vehicles and will not leave you stranded like so many other SUV's. I would recommend any one who likes the Discovery Land Rovers to do your homework and then be not afraid to purchase one. I'm so excited to try it in the snow this year. This vehicle will be just the perfect SUV for this. Where I live heavy snow and icy roads are the jungles that I have to drive daily during the winter months. I did just that and my rpm dropped back down to 1,000 rpm's just like it should. One of the ways to bring the idle down to a normal 1,000 rpm is to just unplug the Air Intake Control plugs. I am not a mechanic, but I did some research on my own and discovered that those engines have that issue. For several months I would talk to mechanics and they all wanted to charge me 400.00 to 1,000.00 to work on the engine. From that time forward, the engine idle speed would race at 2,000 or higher RPM's. The Engine ran very quite until one day one of my employees decided to wash the car engine. I like the (2) sun roofs that it has and all the compartments to stow away stuff. The vehicle has a lot of room inside of it and the back seats have an amphitheater sitting arrangement. I like the looks of the Discovery because it truly looks big city, yet Safari sh and exotic as far as SUV's go. I bought this vehicle for only $1,500.00 at a used car dealer.
