3. 1998 'S' registered Discovery 50th Anniversary (December 2002 - December 2005
300Tdi manual. 50,000miles in my ownership.
Plus points;Supremely capable in all aspects; from M-way travelling to towing a 1600kg twin-axle BWSOW to shifting 26 tonners, 7 seats when needed, 33MPG average, air-con to keep the wife cool, decent turning circle/manoeuvrability, it looked different enough to other Discoverys to keep me smiling.
Problems? One snapped rear shock-absorber, one puncture, a leaking windscreen, galvanitic corrosion where the mud-flap mounts bolt to the rear wing, saggy rear door hinges

Forgot to mention the non-operable diff-lock lever when I bought it, it would go into low-range, but not into locking-mode
After a bit of consultation with this site, I made a trip to a gearbox reconditioners near Halifax, & bought a complete 'turret' for £5.00!!!!!!!
Once home, it took less than 30minutes to sort it, & then it worked perfectly to the day I sold it!
