England 2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Stornoway Grey

Hi

I have bought my HSE in April last year I have covered 23k miles apart from squeeky EPB no problems at all!!

I have owned Merc's BM's etc all had problems. The Disco, in my opinion, is a fabulous car, I love driving it!! Very Happy

No I don't think they'll be changing the car completely for the next few years - check out this thread about the D3 model life:

one more question

does the air suspension make much difference on road while cornering or going on bad asphalt comparing to the model without the air suspension ?

has anyone driven both of them ?
thanks

Have not driven the coil sprung version, but the air suspension does have a big impact on stability from what I've read (and I've read A LOT). It also gives you the option of raising the car when offroad.

does it lower itself even more if you are above 120 km/h ?

Not 120km/h, but something over 100mph. Can't remember the exact speed. It then drops after a certain time below 80something mph. I have found (on the continent) that the lowering significantly improves high speed stability, unless the car is fully laden and the bridge joint is not a good one Rolling Eyes when the passengers can be prone to waking Wink

It's all in the manual somewhere, so you can look forward to bedtime reading.

Most I've done is 180km/h (and the V8 still had plenty of "go" left)... but it seems stupid in retrospect. The D3 is happiest below 140km/h.
