td5 disco or a 110 ?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Red Defender:
daily vehicle 2 and from work, a fair amount of towing and i have 25 acres of land to work on as well as plus dogs !

thermidorthelobster:
I had a TD5 Disco.  It's nice on the motorways and it has aircon.  However, sometimes I wish I had a 300tdi Defender because they're more practical - lots of places to store stuff, scratches don't matter, more rugged finish.  And I'm convinced the 300tdi is a far more reliable engine than the TD5 too.

If I was in your position I'd definitely go for the 300tdi Defender, no question.

Red Defender:
thats what i think especially as i abuse all my vehicles and don't feel the disco would last long - for example i borrowed his disco for a week and supposedly blew the baffles in the exhaust ! - i of course deny all knowledge !

i also bent the con rods in my 90 a few weeks ago while wading !  :oops:  :oops:

landy4x4xfar:
ive gone from disco to a 110 defender and love it to bits dont get me wrong the disco was great but glad im back with the 110

do it do it do it :P  :P  :P  :P  :P  :P  :P

I'm lucky enough to have one of each - the D2 came first, it's now on 96000 miles and still going ok..........but, I have an English Springer Spaniel (she's 10 now) who comes to work with me and likes to 'lean' on the rear o/s door trim, and although I have waterproof seat covers on, the seats are still fairly filthy. We've now got an additional Springer (3 months old), she's not coming to work yet, but will do when she's a bit older - lord only knows what state the interior will be in then  :shock:

The 110 however, has no carpet (rubber stuff instead), plastic seats (damn uncomfy when its hot), and plastic door trims - and no middle seat, so I can only take one dog out at a time (they wear full body harnesses that clip to the seat belts in both vehicles, for their and my safety !)

Personally, I'd not be without either vehicle............but if I had to choose between them - it would be the Disco, as one day I can take 4 adults and two dogs (in the 'boot'), the next 4 adults and two kids, the next it can be just me and I can fill the rear up with stuff for the dump......but then I do get much more enjoyment driving the 110, perhaps I'd choose that over the Disco...... :?
