National Lampoons European Vacation - Disco on tour

Hi there

Just got home from a trip from Kent to Germany, Austria, Italy and back through France - 2,800 miles in 16 days. The Disco went like a dream, it was loaded up with 4 big adults and stacked to the roof with luggage. The torque was unbelievable, it just wanted to keep on going, getting up to 115 mph on the autobahn, which is pretty healthy.

Didn't see many Disco 3's and had plenty of admiring glances as we travelled around.

With the much cheaper fuel, I filled up with Total Excellium Deisel and it seemed to increase the performance of the car, I have noticed that it is more sluggish with standard fuels.

My only gripe with the car now at 4 months old with 12,000 miles on the clock is the constant squeaks and rattles. The passenger door lining was taken off and padded out, but now its back together with squeaks at the back of the car. I have no idea what it might be, but with the Harman Karden stereo pumped up they just disappear!

Seriously, these noises are getting tedious and will hassle the garage to have a good look around when it goes in for the service. Never had these problems with my previous Range Rover, but then it had a much noisier engine.
