New member advise
Hello all, I'm a new member and this is my first post... I love the looks of the Discovery's and I'm thinking about buying a 2000-2004 and leaning toward the 04's. I have a CJ and take the family on some pretty decent off roading trips. I am looking for a good cross country vehicle that can also take us out on the town in style. I have seen some of the Disco's have some sort of locking dif but I have no idea how to tell if the ones i'm looking at have it or not.... Any advise is greatly appreciated.

2004! And Tom and I can agree that Epsom green is sexier than white. Sorry Chris!

Thanks for the advise, what kind of milage can I expect for around town and highway driving. I have heard 13mpg but don't really trust the source.

I get 12 city and 17-18 highway. If you're looking for mpg you probably don't want a Landrover.

Depends on how you drive. I might get around 270 on a full tank. That is with about 1/3 of the miles on hwy, and the rest in town. Which equates to somewhere around the 13 mpg range.

I Seafoamed last month and it really makes a noticable difference. I can't understand why my neighbors don't like it though.

That's acceptable for what it is and if you compair the Rover 13/18 to my old Cherokee or a new Wrangler it's rite there with them maybe 2mpg's off but much better styling in the Rover...
