Staying in a Discovery
The Mrs. and I beloved 16 year old D3 (assembled July 2004 ) is showing its age but we love it and can’t think of driving anything else. So, we’re upgrading to a 2016 D4 Landmark in Waitomo. Delivery is scheduled for tomorrow. We’re keeping the D3 for now but will eventually have to part ways. We evaluated the D5 and other makes, but we kept coming back to the D4 as the proper choice to carry the torch. Can’t wait 16 D4 Landmark
05 D3 HSE V8
THE original D4 spotter

Good luck! Just been through this process myself. Decided to part with my 2006 V8 and get into the latest 2016 LR4 I could find. They're overlapping whilst I sell the V8 and whilst I love the interior of the LR4, I have to say that the V8 is soooooooooo much smoother (if slower, admittedly). I'll miss that engine a lot.PAGODA

Much the same here but a D2 forced to change by my wife, can't get a car like the discovery so D4 for me and my D2 is with my son

2016 D4 Landmark in Waitomo grey is the best car ever 👍
But I am a tad biased 🤣
I’m sure you will love it 😍

Funny, I've done the same. I went round the houses looking at other cars and came back to the D4 via the D5 and new Defender.

Sold - D4 HSE (Known as Gerty)

Still original injectors and turbo
