Towing I didn't know it was there.
Today I towed my first car with the Disco. A friend of mine had broken down in his diesel fiesta and needed a tow to a garage. So this morning we used a tow pole from Machine Mart and set off on approx 6 mile trip. The Disco was fantastic I could hardly feel anything.
Better still my friend was expecting to have to pay for a new diesel pump at £1000. But it turned out to be a split pipe at only £60.Arctic Frost Discovery 3 TDV6 SE, Active Rear Diff, Adaptive Head Lights, Tow Pack, Ebony Leather, Roof Rails, Mantec Guard.

Reversed into a wall. Obeying my wife's instructions rather than the reversing warning sounder. I was then firmly reprimanded for marking the plastic cap on the towing hook.

I came within an ace of crashing mine yesterday on a nice windy lane in Pott Shrigley. Some in a C Class Merc came haring over a blind summit/bend to (nearly) meet his maker coming the other way driving a Discovery 3...

Today I drove from Wigan to Dulverton - M6, M5, 240 miles. Saw my first Disco3.co.uk sticker on another D3 and Happily cruised at 21MPG! I saw just one police officer - and he was heading in the opposit direction. I got in 1 Traffic Jan at the M6/M5 junction.
Nice rack DStu - this site is a nghtmare for ad-ons..I thought I bought the complete car, then I logged on here and find half of it is missing and needs to be added!
