Disco Climbing CHALLENGE | Top Gear - Part 1 

For those of you wondering, that exact Land Rover being filmed is still going strong and according to MOT data its doing about 12k miles a year!

3:30 "Is a bit like trying to move the Moon out of orbit using the motor from a food blender" This is the reason why Jeremy later used a v8 engine to power a food blender

"It doesn't go over bumps, it flattens them." I'm dying.

I love how the old top gear reviews car we can buy. Lol

I started laughing when he randomly appeared with a child. The kid looked a little puzzled as well

"carrying a harry" - hahahhahahahha

I noticed that "Running Up That Hill" background music, BBC. You're not subtle XD

The funniest part isn’t in the video - he did successfully drive to the top of the mountain. The only glitch was he flew home from there in a helicopter leaving the car up there to be driven back down. Only he forgot to leave the keys with the car and flew off with them in his pocket!

How does it climb the mountains if it flattens bumps?

The disco 3 and 4 are hands down the best cars Land Rover has ever made. Theres a reason why they are STILL being used for any offroad filming being done. The suspension is honestly next level. The power is perfect for off-roading too, the gearbox (even the auto), can actually handle low-range. The only car I'd consider better (as an SUV), is the Volvo XC90, which is honestly just perfect.

The beauty of this part of the UK is not apreciated enough!

Running up that hill hahahaha

I remember when my dad used to have a 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE when I was 10 years old. Because my dad had the HSE specification it was pretty much loaded to the gills with all the bells and whistles, including but not limited to, tri-zone climate control, heated front & rear seats (which were upholstered in a really nice cream leather!), rear audio controls, you name it! It also had a DVD player as well, which I don’t think was fitted from the factory as it was actually a third-party Rosen unit, but it was a nice bonus. Plus, its air suspension meant it was a very comfortable and relaxing car to travel in too...

When Jeremy went to go get the kid, I thought my phone broke

Love that “Running up that hill” is sampled in the background. It literally runs up that hill... that humongous hill!

Wow, looking forward to the next part :)

S4 Stranger Things fans when they hear the opening piano riff: 👁️👄👁️

Music selection par excellence!!

The earlier 'new' top gear was much more down to earth than the later ones, actually reviewing every day cars to average people instead of overpriced pretentious supercars

Great episode, cant wait for the second part.

"that green bit there"

Remember watching this 13 years ago, and i said to myself when i grow up im gonna get one of these

cant wait for part 2

I remember watching this episode on TV - this was 17 years ago???

Great item from Top Gear when the Disco 3 came out. Only just noticed that he got the back radio controls very wrong! The controls are for the headphones. A very useful tool.

I love the humour of these guys ! the intro music choice is witty on many levels :)

Placebo-Running up that Hill Lovely and well chosen😍

I LOVE TOP GEAR,every single episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No one on earth does a car review like Jeremy. Love it.. "trying to move the moon out of orbit by using the motor from a food blender" Classic Clarkson..

Good song as usual in the program. Placebo - Running Up That Hill

Can't wait for 2nd part :>

this was the first top gear I watched!

I don't think the seats are that hard to move. I own the 4.4L v8. The gas mileage isn't great but it's not that awful. The power from that motor is great. I love driving the Rover. Hard to beat that comfort

"it's a handsome looking brute", even today, I don't think a better statement has ever been said about a Land Rover XD

Nice shots of the mountain at the end.

Clarkson and his work are stellar. I love that spiffy spoof when they play the music from Where Eagles Dare when he says he’s going to take that Landrover Discovery up that mountain in Scotland….

The old one was beautiful, and then they turned it into a bread van.

We've got the v8 petrol one it's fine 🤘🏼🤘🏼

seen it! Great episode

“First of all, it’s a handsome looking brute” Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode with the Kramer portrait, when the old lady says “He is a loathsome, offensive brute, yet I cannot look away!” LOL.

This is by far the most practical and best designed Land Rover family ever made and I am still driving the Disco 3 everyday since it was launched in 2004. The 2017 model is just not Man enough!

This car is actually looking like the new Defender

0:20 song is Running Up That Hill by Placebo

omg i wanna part 2

This looks like a predecessor to the current defender

Don't agree with Jezza that the cars performance isn't good. I put my foot down on my TDV6 SE and it powers forward big time.

I love this programme, Awesome Job guys !

wow, nice one. can someone tell which season and episode is this clip from ?? please! i missed it.... thanks!

Why would anyone laugh at the "folding second row seats"? They go on most two-door ,3 row SUVs, and most MPVs ! :(

Stick a reliable Japanese engine in it and you have perfection.

''Doesnt go over bumps...It flattens them'' Lol Clarkson is so funny :)

A Ray Mears inspired film here. Plus that little Harry looked a lovely lad. Clarkson held him as if he was his own. Like that bit!

Land rovers - yes they have bad build quality, they are meant to be utilitarian vehicles, not luxury, besides over 70% of them are still on the road now - how many car makers can claim that 70% of their vehicles are still on the road even the ones from the late 1940s.

song at 2:50 ?

Look at the skies :) ! Magnificent!

I got the same one an still like new badass truck! Is amazing!

I'm sorry to say that a certain member of the household bought a 2007 model of one of these and...well...he could've bought a loaded VW Golf for the money spent on repairs by now.

its old but brilliant 0:60

This episode is great.

The music in top gear always hits!

Gosh i love the way jeremy reviews cars.

I remember a road trip of around 900km on a really hot summer day through germany - I saw THREE of those rovers broken down on the autobahn throughout the day.

ive been trying to find this forever! it was so hard to find because bbc taking all of topgear off. please put part 2 up

Putting this Jaguar engine into such a heavy vehicle is like, "trying to move the moon out of orbit using a motor from a food blender". I think I might have injured myself laughing so hard. 3:15

these episodes are actually like 2 years old.

I hate what land rover has done to the discovery. the one in this video is the good one but the new one on their website doesnt look like you would go out in the bush with it but rather drive to your fancy evenings like a pretty boy

0:18 placebo running up that hill.

seriously, wheres part 2? although i remember watching the whole episode some years back, but i would still like to watch it all over again!

what the hell is that song

And then Top Gear used these for the main camera cars...

You get to see it next week.

1:29 The 1999 Dodge Durango had a feature something like this but in addition to the 3rd row seats there was actually room in the rear for things when they were up, and the fold and tumble (that's the technical term) middle seats did all that with the flick of one lever. Pretty clever for a Yank Tank, as the Brits like to call our large American vehicles...

2019 anyone

back when LR used to make hardy cars not the current ones softened for females

LOVE THE SONG! Placebo - Running Up That Hill

BBC when you make part 2 dont edit out all the good stuff!

> Having badly trained children

Jeremy does realize its entirely possible to put a child down, right?

Love the Gladiator music, hehe

love the gladiator sound track

anyone gettin annoyed at audi?

$27000 Pounds = $34000 USD in 2017 and $34000 in the year 2003 is worth $45183.78 in 2017

Top Gear ftw!!!!! puttin all these great clips on the internet. You know how it goes tho.... I smoke the strong, you smoke the wrong.

Awesomely nice reply, man!

the best off-road vehicle......in the world :)

How comes every youtube video turns into some kind of international flame war in the comments? Why can't people just watch the videos?

what do we need? PART TWO!! when do we need it? NOW!!

Its the Placebo Cover of Running up that hill... gr8 challenge btw!

should buy the Volvo xc 90 instead

Thats great, thankyou for letting me know.

I didn't know that actually! That is why I pointed out the early ones. I do think that first Discovery is good base material to modify. The Series I (1950's) was a nightmare with big front axle (CV?) ball joints and leather gaskets to keep the oil in and water out! Mine had no heater and blankets and ear muffs were kept onboard. My girlfriend must have been a saint. I trusted Land Rover but had no other option at the time.

Hey! Kate Bush tune in the background! Also, I like how Clarkson actually is less... zealous than he is with many cars. He does properly point out the good bits and the bad bits.

got a 2005 a week ago and i love it

i want part 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it doesn't go over bumps, it just flatens them

@pandomoix the song is 'running up that hill' by placebo feat. kate bush

For those who did not know, the song that was playing at the beginning was Kate bush’s running up the hill

Song is "Running up that hill" - Placebo

Top Gear ROCKS

What season is that?
