Land Rover Discovery and Discovery II

Get the 2003.

Written by: british_rover on Jun 09, 2006 07:01 PM

Everything from the 2002 was improved upon in 2003 and 2004 models. They don't even call 2003 and 2004 Discos Disco IIs they are considered new Discoveries since there were so many improvments. The MPG for the 4.6 is about identical to the 4.0 in fact you will probably get better gas mileage out of the 4.6 cause you will not have to wind the motor up. Also the 2002 might ... Read More...

Re: 2004 II SE7 vs 2002 Range Rover [bmk007]

Written by: landy on Sep 18, 2005 09:12 PM

These vehicles both represent the bygone Sullihul era. They both have the 4.6 engine and are the end of each line before the Ford/BMW influences (for better or worse). I think better since this seems to mean Land Rover will survive (evidenced by the new LR3 and Range Rover Sport) where other marquees have since fallen (MG Rover). After 20 years of Japanese "reliability" ... Read More...

Land Rover Scheduled Maintenance and Warning Light

Written by: chris32 on Jul 20, 2005 06:05 AM

I recently bought a 2002 Discover II. The mileage is close to 30,000, which calls for the scheduled maintenance to be performed in order to maintain the warranty. Because it is so expensive to have the work done at the dealership I am having the mechanic that I have used for years to do the work at a fraction of the price. However, one thing that the owner's manual calls ... Read More...

My Disco Experiences

Written by: trader_tom on Jul 13, 2004 00:28 PM

Hi all. This is my first time posting on this forum, but I wanted to share some of my thoughts on the Disco II. My friend and I both purchased them around the same time. Let me start off by saying this is an awesome vehicle with capabilities beyond my expectations and nearly anyone else who has ever ridden in it. I have climbed mountains, driven through switchbacks ... Read More...

I just recently had my 2001 BMW 330ci with a premium and Luxury package stolen (11 days ago) and not recovered as of yet. Looks like I need to replace. I fell in love with the Disco II after I bought mine two years ago, so here I am again. I have a few questions and a few responses. Q1: What is the reliability factor with this vehicle? I have read a lot of stuff here about ACE ... Read More...

Also considering 99 Disco II

Written by: m32thomp on Apr 08, 2002 07:06 AM

Hi, I am also considering a certified 99 Discovery II SE through a Land Rover dealer that has 21000 miles. It looks great but I am a little concerned by the previous information listed on this site. Has anyone experienced a "knocking" when they put the gas on? I test drove a 99 at CarMax and a LR dealer and both had some sort of "knock". I did not hear the "knock" when I ... Read More...

The 03 Discovery II will have no more BMW parts than any other Discovery II. The chassis and suspension are identical to the 99-2002 models. The engine used is the 4.6 version of the same engine that powers it now (previously used in the 4.6 Range Rover). This is not a BMW engine, just another version of the pushrod engine used in all the earlier models. The new Range ... Read More...
