Don't blame you, why have what is basically a 10 year old design engine when you can wait a couple of months to get a more modern future proof engine.

Its still a brilliant tow car, Ive had it 8 1/2 years and 101000 miles now, on 134000 total, heading to south west France next month, really love this Disco but do hanker after something more powerful / modern. Did you have the 2.7 v6 or the 3.6 v8?

The D2 for me was one of the best Land Rover ever produced, I loved mine but unfortunately for me it was also the worst towing vehicle I've ever had if it wasn't for that reason I would still have mine today.

Never heard a D2 described as a poor towing vehicle, mine is superb. What was the problem? |

Always fighting to keep it in a straight line,it was very unstable on the motorway anything and everything would cause it to wobble about, It got to a point where I wouldn't tow on the motorway.we changed everything on it with no joy,different caravans,tyres,wheels, loading the van differently nothing worked then on one trip we had a very bad experience when I nearly lost it so it had to go.If you Google D2 poor towing you will be surprised by some of the stories on there. |

Mine was a remapped manual, but was slow off the mark, as you had to go to second more or less as soon as you were moving, so pulling out at a junction, you was having to change gear half way across, long legged gear changes, would be doing 60 but had to wait till you dropped down to 40 before you could drop a cog, it was a plodder, wouldn't want to go back to one for towing. Was shocked at the difference between a D2 and a FL2 for towing, chalk and cheese. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior |
