Could be.

Pug produced parts assembled by Ford in Welsh Wales (I mean, what could possibly go wrong!) until about 2012, then production and sourcing moved to JLR engine plant where changes were made to sort component issues 

And yet the internet is still replete with reports of snapped cranks on 3.0 TDV6 /SDV6 motors produced after that time. Perhaps JLR should have sharpened their pencils a little more rigorously...

As for the OP, I don't see why you would want that vehicle, it doesn't strike me as particularly cheap. Also, that interior....

Well if you can find me a cheaper Disco 4 of a similar age/mileage, with good history including having the belts done and in VGC, I'll be all ears! 

And actually.......... I don't mind the interior.

Jimmy will like an interior like that in 20 years and he'll want the whole car that colour in 30 years

Funnily enough, the FIL has an F10 5 series that's beige, inside and out 

[Broomies Mate]

While it wouldn't be my first choice of colour, the interior doesn't offend me......

I see it as a plus, really.  At least it's never been near a farm and therefore doesn't smell like a farm.

you don't see many farmers driving Discoveries around here. They mostly favour Ford Rangers, with L200s a distant second.


Discos are for taking kids to school and the riding stables.

It's probably never been off the black stuff.

Farmers around here (Somerset) drive Tractors.

I do get the Horse'y type MILF driving a Disco though.

Mounted a kerb or two!

Proper farmers round this way ancient Defenders for work use and when attending "The Lodge" a multitude of newish full fat Range Rovers in the car park.

The Ranger driving farmers round here still have the Defenders that made them swap to Fords. They're rusting away quietly out of sight....

Lincolnshire folk are tight & look after things properly so they last hence no Fords round here.😉

It's because they're tight that stopped them patching up Land Rovers.


The man I know said they budget for one big piece of machinery every year. Cars aren't big machinery! He just laughed when I mentioned the new Defender and called it a toy. And pointed out the price: why spend £50k on it when a Ranger(his is a V-plate one reaching the end of its life) is <£20k, is better suited to the job, lasts longer, and doesn't go wrong?

In Lincolnshire we know better than to mention " The new Defender" 😂😂😂

It is possible to make a decent Defender... at a price.
