You & Your Land Rover Discovery: Buying, Enjoying, Maintaining, Modifying (You and Your) [Hardcover]

Dave Pollard (Author)

Book Description

Series: You and Your | Publication Date: June 12, 2003

Introduced in 1989 in the campaign to repel the Japanese 4x4 invasion, the Discovery opened up a whole new market for Land Rover, creating its own niche halfway between the traditional rough and ready Land Rover off-roader and the upmarket Range Rover cruiser. Its reputation as a rugged workhorse both on and off-road has ensured that the Discovery has remained one of the worlds best-selling 4x4s since its introduction.

This all-color book - part of Haynes best-selling You & Your series that includes the well-received Land Rover Ninety, One Ten & Defender - will fascinate all Discovery owners and enthusiasts.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but .., December 31, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: You & Your Land Rover Discovery: Buying, Enjoying, Maintaining, Modifying (You and Your) (Hardcover)

..the Modifications section is a bit weak, consequently a little disappointing for the off road enthusiast. Not surprisingly, geared primarily towards the U.K. owner of Series 1 vehicles.

Good overview of the vehicle and what to expect.

This review is from: You & Your Land Rover Discovery: Buying, Enjoying, Maintaining, Modifying (You and Your) (Hardcover)

I bought this book because I wanted to learn more about my Land Rover Discovery. The book covers the Discovery from Concept to the Series 2 model. It is mainly targeted to the British market since it references the auto purchasing process in England as well as LPG conversions. I would say this book is more of a history lesson than a maintenance guide. It does however list known issues and common problems with the Discovery. If you are in the market for an older Discovery this book would be helpful for the inspection of a used Disco prior to purchase. The book is full color and hard backed, a very nice looking book for the coffee table. Plus now I have many more useless facts about my Discovery to bore my wife with!
