td5 disco or a 110 ?

<< < (4/4)

spy:
110!  I have never owned a td5 disco but have driven a few.  I have never driven a 300tdi defender either.  I still say 110.  I just got an f reg 2.5 petrol 110 and I prefer it to the last two discos I owned.  Much more fun to drive, more room dont care about scratches etc etc.

No comparison!

Lee_D:
Chip in and upgrade to a TD5 110.

No brainer!  :roll:

Actually, if I were buying a 110 I'd go for a 300tdi over a TD5.  Put the two next to each other, and a slightly tweaked 300tdi will keep up with a TD5 without any problems, and I prefer the torque curve (less gearchanging).  (When I've run my chipped, lifted TD5 Disco alongside tweaked 300tdi Defenders, I've not found I've had any measurable performance benefit.)

The down side of a 110 for me is that I like having air conditioning, but I'm also over 6' tall, and you can EITHER have air con OR leg room, but not both...

You can if you have a set of Mud Rails to move the seat back further.  :D

I'm a 110 man, easier to mod for off road abuse, loads of room, 300tdi is very reliable & friendly to the 'home mechanic.  The depreciation is minimal (compared to Disco)...& they look the mutz chubbers   :twisted:
