The video turned out great! Only the music at the beginning is very similar to the music from Tinto Brass films😅 thanks for the video, beautiful nature
A lot of people shit on discoverys and defenders but never owned one. People who I know get one never maintain it no oil changes etc and drive it til it dies then complain saying Land Rover are crap. If that was the case they would no longer be getting built. My dad uncles all have discos and defenders and I've just bought a disco and I've already got a defender and never have any of us had issues. My dads love off Land Rover passed down to me except the freelander which I don't like even though it was Europe's best seller at one point. It's got to be either a discovery or Defender. Great content worth a sub my friend thanks for sharing 👍
The Grand Cherokee 4.7L H.O V8 is definitely better on fuel as it is more powerful and the transmission has an additional gear. It is also a little more plush inside and the seating position is more relaxed than the upright discovery 2 seating.
I know I'm commenting very late on this video, but where did you get that rear bumper? It looks different to the factory bumper (I think)?!?! Or is it just some tape on the tail lights throwing me off?
If it is stock, as in standard, why is the front high, and why the steel bumper. My standard 2004 TD5 Landmark is standard, but not that high or with that bumper. This is modified , not stock, unless your specs are different .Great video all the same.
What's cool about Land Rovers is shown here. Still on the 18 inch Hurricane wheels with some modest A/T tires and pretty much just as it came off the showroom floor leaving the mall parking lot and going up the hill.
Land Rover had a video of an ACE equipped Disco doing high speed slaloms with a non-ACE equipped Range Rover on a trailer. It was one of the best demos of what it can do. You can have full sway bar disconnect or a sway bar the diameter of Arnold Schwarzenegger's thighs dependent upon your needs at the time.
Interesting to see the difference having ACE has on articulation, the same as disconnecting the sway bars would. I have basically the same setup - 2001 SE7 with 2 inch SLS lift. I connected the CDL by installing a lever from a D1.Getting close to 200k miles now.
I really enjoyed your video and I subscribed right after watching. I would have scribed for all the effort you put into it alone, never mind the excellent footage itself. I bought my 2001disco new. She has been a commitment. Anyone who's owned one for some time knows what I'm talking about. Yours is a beast compared to my everyday ride to my job sights. Thanks again for such excellent content. Oh Ya! Did I see you use "regular" fuel?
At 3 minutes 30 seconds I'm surprised the front driver tire didnt spin more at first before TC kicking in. Were you left foot braking before it lifted?? I know it takes atleast a little spin. In this clip it acted better than modern Rover TC. How???! Hahaha
Have you looked at the prices on D2's lately? It's crazy, they used to be thought of as unreliable, maligned and dirt cheap. I considered it a well kept secret how good they actually are. Wish I had picked up an extra one now but I've still got my 2001 and doubt I'll ever let it go.
Is that year Jeep full-time four-wheel drive and if so do the full-time have a locking transfer case to make it regular four-wheel drive kind of like the CDL on the Disco? I saw one for sale at an auction once saying full-time four-wheel drive and when I got inside I just saw high or low but I didn't see a way to lock it unless putting it into low electronically locks the transfer case and there is just no locked High like the Disco having locked and unlocked for high and low. Also does that jeep have traction control? I swear I saw a moment where it literally looks like it's fun and then grabbed unless it just happened to catch traction
Hello Ronald, thanks for watching. The Jeep has what is called “quadra drive II” which is a full time 4 wheel drive system featuring 3 viscous differentials. The front and rear differentials are a viscous limited slip, and the transfer case is operated with a viscous coupling in 4 high. I believe in 4 low it locks the centre coupling. It does not have traction control. It is a very capable and comparable system
@@VanIsleDisco QuadraDrive. QuadraDrive is entirely mechanical. Well, unless you count the hydraulic fluid. Yes, 4Lo locks the transfer case. QuadraDrive II is electronic, and was available in the following generations WK, WK2, and now WL.
Bro! Well done. The amount of back and forth work it takes to set up camera for this type of content when you are by yourself I think goes very under appreciated lol. Where did you film this? Looking like off Sylvester rd or possible stave lake area. That shot going through the water at 4:00 is awesome.
Thank you! It is a lot of running around and messing with the tripod, but totally worth it. This was filmed in the southern part of Nanaimo B.C in an area called “Extension” or cinnabar valley. I was a bit scared when the front end dipped low into the water. Definitely pushing the limits of wading here
Hello, nice vidéo, I have a Disco2 TD5 from 2002 with ACE. I just changed the front and rear cylinder of my ACE as well as the ACE filter. However, my ACE system goes into alarm and moves the vehicle in a roll before going off into a red alarm. Would you be so kind as to tell me how to adjust the cylinders after reassembling new cylinders, so that the ACE works again. Please use simple words because I'm French and I don't know all the technical words.
