The discovery didn’t get anti roll bars until 1994, which is a real shame. Without them, the Discovery feels wallowy and disconcerting if you try and rush it through bends and even roundabouts. Generally, though, the ride quality is good the Range Rover pedigree shows through. Effective disc brakes on all four wheels are reassuring and, although it can feel vague, the steering is nicely weighted. The TDI pulls well it feels like a rocket after the Series III’s trusty 2.25 but you need to keep the turbo on song to make decent progress. This is a big heavy car, and it feels it.
Brilliant family vehicle, still dead basic and easy to fix, very capable off road chaws miles relatively effortlessly and will do 30mpg. A lot have rocketship mileage fine for the generally sturdy engine, not so for the rest.
