hi all whats the general feeling disco or a rangie? Looking at doing greenlanes and as a run about moter. Had two discos and love the comfort factor. Any suggestions?

Disco Matt:
The Rangie has a lower roofline, which may be a problem if you're tall. Certainly when I sat in one my head was brushing the ceiling, although the headlining did sag a little which may account for it.

The advantage of the roofline is that you can lift a Rangie or fit larger tyres and still be under 2m overall height (enabling you to get into a lot of car parks). A Disco is taller in standard form. I know I can't change the suspension or tyres on mine without losing access to some useful parking areas.

cluffy:
very true hadnt thought of that one. Not to much of an issue as ive got a combo van which i use for my job. Valid point tho.

andyb:
If you are picking between RRC and the Discovery 1 & 2 then it is just a case of which one you like the look of most. There is very little difference in mechanics. Most of the door internals are the same as well. It's mostly external looks and internal cabin that makes the difference.

IMO the RR is probably a shade more comfortable on a long journey, but to my eyes the Discovery is a slightly more modern looking vehicle....if that matters at all to you :)

cluffy:
must admit i do prefer the looks of the disco. But apart from that thay are both as capable?
