4 years in... and all good so far |
|
Last week I gave the disco3 its pre-MOT annual clean inside+out, it scrubbed up nicely considering I treat it like a builders van and my kids treat it as a bin. Passed with no advisories which was nice surprise. Granted, I had recently done discs and pads all round and put 2 new Grabber AT3s on the front, but still good news.
Then the next day I had to jump in and drive to Amsterdam to pick up some stuff for the missus' business that had been forgotten by a shipping company. There and back in 24 hours, an effortless comfortable trip (in a pleasant valeted interior that smelled nice for a change!) And it carried a van-load's worth of stuff in the back. It brought back memories of how good it felt when I first bought the thing.
Ok so there's been the odd unpleasant bill, but nothing you wouldn't expect of a 12 year-old vehicle. On balance I can't think of many other vehicles as versatile, useable and comfortable.
Oh, and I checked the mpg brim to brim on the Dutch trip and it worked out exactly the same (equally ) as the trip computer! Maybe the V8s are more accurate than the diesels?
