Disco or Range Rover?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Tel:
rangie all the way :)

Discopoo:
Down to personal choice, both do the same job, I have 300tdi Disco and love it, my brother has a V8 range and loves that.
There is more head room in the Disco but it is only inches though.

Range Rover Ron:
Hello Justin,

It's down to personal choice,
I've had a Disco for 12 years and had several RRC's running both at the same time,
The idsoc has a bit more headroom in the back if you want to carry more than 5 passengers.
The tailgate on the Disco gives better access to the back.
The RRC has a drop down tailgate which is good to stand, sit and cook on when off road/camping etc.

They are basically both the same car underneath and will do identical things on and off road.
The only real choice is what car you like.
Which ever one you get, you'll enjoy driving it!
Cheers.....................

Range Rover Blues:
Discovery is just a poor man's Range Rover.  It's also the car that saved LR.  Based HEAVILY on the RRC the disco uses all the same mechanicals with a modified version of the same body, up to the rear doors at least.

You will find that their popularity means Discos are better catered for in terms of spaes and mod parts.  For example a Stainless exhaust for ther 300TDi Disco cost memore than £100 less than the system for the RRC and it's the same damned exhaust, all bar 1 bend :evil:
Body panels are getting harder to find too.

If you go for a 300 series (the soft-dahs RRC) then it's actually designed as a Disco, the softie only being made for about 10 months or so.

Disco, slightly narrower, higher, shorter in the rear body.  RRC, lower, lower CogG due to ali roof, split tailgate back end, slightly more elbow room, slightly plusher seats, neither has loadsof room for rear passengers though the disco gives them better headroom.

The RRC LSE is arguably one of the best cars LR made until the P38 was launched, but they are not so hot off-road.

RRC is the way to go. If headroom is an issue, there are spacers under the seats that will give you an extra inch. All that extra comfort..........................
