Yes mat, and you've done 200k. Congratulations

[jjs]

In 2010 we hired a Discovery for a weeks holiday in Scotland. I thought I was going to get a Disco 3 so imagine my surprise when after jumping through endless hoops, Thrifty finally wheeled out a brand new D4 HSE in gun metal grey. I had the time of my life driving that car, such power, such luxury, such practicality - parked in the grounds of the rented farmhouse overlooking Loch Ness I felt like a millionaire. I took it to the Isle of Mull where it was surrounded by highland cattle, took it off road, took it everywhere. When it was time to hand it back they had to taser me and prize my hands off the steering wheel.
I have sometimes been in a position to buy one but cant afford to run and maintain one. Still, thanks for bringing back great memories!

"it had a long MOT that was clean" ??? Then it needed all brakes and suspension parts replaced and brake light etc etc . . . . . . . I would suspect that MOT as being dubious

Congratulations on the 200K Matt, well deserved. Lovely Discovery, still looks very current and fresh, much more solid looking than the new model.

[BrandinooWOW]

"so I factored in £1500 for repairs"

Oh you sweet summer child

[chappy]

Love the look of these. JLR dropped a right bollock with the one that replaced it. That weird rear number plate and that it looks "over bodied" and under wheeled.

Congrats on the 200k well deserved, no nonsense, informative and entertaining. Get you 👍

That V6 is the Achilles heel of those things, absolute ticking time bomb. A Range Rover Sport TDV8 is likely a better option and far less money (unless you really need the 7 seats).

Ouch Matt !!!😱 When you first showed us this Disco it didn't look at all bad but just shows you what the costs can be on a complicated beast like this! You prepare your cars to a high standard and given it was going to a mate you didn't want to leave anything to chance - just hope his dog appreciates the fully working air suspension😊 Congratulations on the 200k subscribers.

Have to assume the previous owner knew the big bills were coming and moved it on pronto. Looks absolutely stunning in this colour.

Humble chicken farmer or earl of Wessex… spot on🤣🤣🤣

[samwilde]

Congratulations Matt, your hard work is being rewarded. Must be a hell of a job doing all you do. I think painting those door handles white and front grill black would help modernise it a bit too.

[crazyfroggie]

Lovely thing in white with the dark windows

[chrismad]

I got the same SUV, is very good car if you take care of them, don't forget still a luxury high end vehicle also off road is the best, parts and maintenance is expense but i love LR4 ! Congratulations

Great video, Matt. I’m totally with you on the Disco 4. I’ve just had one through the workshop for Chop To The Top with pretty much the exact same issues as yours. After a bit of head scratching everything is all sorted and she is an absolute beauty once more, ready to give years more service to the new owner. Cheers! 👍

[AdeReeves]

So the horror stories are somewhat true ... 🙂 always fancied one, but not the running cost (repairs)

[orwell]

And now let's hope that crankshaft doesn't snap anytime soon...

As you stated, you've provided your friend with a car that should be fault free for 3 or 4 years. Not just that, but one of the best all-round cars on the market. Having had a D3 and two D4s from new, when I was looking for a second car to go with the RRS, I looked for a late model D4 - the ones with the solid rather than dotted day running lights. They have the updated in-car-entertainment and the 8-speed ZF auto box. A 15 plate example cost me £18.5k because it had done 123k miles, but it had a full service history and had already had the cam belt changed and a recent round of suspension arm replacements. It's been over 12 months now, and it's had a service and full check and there are no problems. Definitely the best outright purchase I've ever made, even knowing that it's going to need discs and pads, and even more suspension components in the near future. Just one thing I have to disagree with you on and that's the air suspension. Relatively speaking it's not that expensive to repair, and it is infinitely better than coil springs for ride, roll-mitigation and keeping the ride height correct when you are fully loaded. Don't forget it's got 7 full adult sized seats and with the back 5 folded has a six foot long completely flat load space with a huge square tailgate aperture to access it. Another great video

Every time i take my d4 in its cost me £1500. Its booked in next month for another visit for its service and mot, oh its developed a gudder under braking. Wish me luck 😂

[TopGearGrandTourClips]

First off, congrats on the 200, 000 subscribers and I have owned 2 Disco 4s in the past and they have been some of the best cars I have owned. Very good vehicles indeed!

[allanhughes]

Well good to see our Matty gets caught out at times thank god !!!! Nothing personal just like it when things are as they should be
win some lose some comes to mind even that comes into question does it not ??
