So stop waving it about. I'm trying to disperse it. However, the diesel Disco is much more common than the diesel versions of the other vehicles mentioned. 4x4s of the Disco's size do tend to be diseasel, yes - because the petrol versions are so damn thirsty (18mpg official for the Disco vs 27 for the TD and 36 for the diesel S-class Jag) So Parkers is wrong when it says the diesel disco is 25-34 (the previous model being 30-40). This is the smoke of which we spake. [Although from what I'm hearing, the new Disco seems to have somewhat crossed the line from "family man's Land Rover" to "poor man's Range Rover", to its detriment.] However, I think you'll find that a good proportion of most "normal" cars are diseasels now, too. 32.5% of all cars sold in the UK during 2004, and 40% of Mondeos. That's good news then (apart from asthma suffers, apparently). -- Roland Perry |

Is that the model my Parkers says is "1998 on" ? -- Roland Perry |
