Discovery 1 vs Discovery 2 4x4 Battle - V8 vs TD5 

Are you able to tell me what size exhaust is on the v8 one & is it the standed 3.9 Thanks

Sawpit gully Australia near rockmount?

@@izaacbanks3337 Appin

can u send disco 1's mods ????

Stephen Mewett it’s 2.5inches I believe

🍻

D Lopez You have summed it up perfectly 👌 Thanks for taking the time to drop us a comment 👍

LROR Land Rovers Off Road. My pleasure. Thank you for the time it takes to edit all the video takes. Great videos

D Lopez agreed.

Taha Zeus Driver experience and skill has a lot to do with it.

I think that, even if the Disco 2 driver has less experience than the other one, the way he drives that car is not only a question of experience. It seems a question of 'experience with a disco 2 and tbe way to use its traction control when not having central diff lock and no lockers in the axles'. The disco one with the lockers is a lot smoother. With the disco 2 you have to wait until the ecu manages the hdc/abs/tc system to help you to go forward. And that is agressive 'per se'. Maybe the deiver could be smoother in this sense waiting for the machine to work. And maybe he could choose some different lines. But in my opinion he's doing ok and he will improve with lockers. Cheers

Taha Zeus Taha Zeus the traction control system requires more revs and wheel spin for the abs sensors to pick up a difference in wheel speed. So it’s a lot easier to take it more gentle with the discovery 1. You can see at about 5.55 where the disco 2 is just spinning it’s wheels then suddenly it moves.

Taha Zeus what the exhaust size on the 3.9 size

Very true

Both lovely in their own way 👍

@@lror I'm not feeling the love for my TD5 at the moment...

Sounds like a Humvee

Thanks buddy 👍

Glad your enjoying the videos, thank you for following us and taking the time to comment. The clutch has not been changed in over 4 years of ownership if your referring to the D1.

+Aussie Four Wheelers (Hemi4WD) 👍

Yep the v8 is just so much fun.

creepy crawler Thanks mate 👍

FoxLR 1602 music to the ears 👌

LROR Land Rovers Off Road what did you do to get this epic sound ? 😉

Yes, but the sound of a diesel SIPPING it's fuel is even better :)

Rover Lord Cheers mate, glad you liked it. The D1 is doing well but maybe new shocks soonish for a little bit more stretchy stretchy. It was wet and slippery after the couple of weeks of rain we've had and gave us a sprinkle or 2 on the day.

+Nick Jovanovic Thanks brother, the td5 did great.

gullf1sk Just love it too much. When success over an obstacle occurs a "yeah" is sure to follow 😂😂

That may be an idea to try next time. Keep in mind the D1 has a lot more mods than the D2.

That economy compared is hard to go past 👍

@@lror Yep, almost double but I just get goosebumps when a V8 in low gear growls through my village .

@@Silentaudits7 haha that was the only thing that made filling up at the servo kind of okay 😂

bahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Glen Davis 😂😂😂

+TriXDah Driving with traction control sometimes means a little more throttle to get it to work.

Fair enough :)

andy d Haha yeah, i feel the same.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to drop us a comment 👍 Yes that was a good drive with a bump at the right moment.

Yes you are correct. Thank you for dropping us a comment.

V8 in my experience was trash. It has the aluminum block that's bad for tearing up head gaskets

@@chrisstroud60 Land Rover. Turning owners into mechanics for 75 years.

Definitely the D2 driver was in his early days offroading and will get better over time. The tyres although more aggressive on the d1 are worn compared to the fresh set of grapplers on the d2. Thanks for watching 👍

Thank you, if you are on facebook you can look up the lror page for a lot of info, link in the channel bio above. Otherwise just private message me through youtube and im happy to help.

Both are manual and TC on the D2 is working. Its just that TC is reactive and needs some amount of wheel spin before it does its thing.

D1 is running 35x12.5 tyres on beadlocks. Diffs were 4.43 and tbh i cant remember if the 49% tc reduction gears were in at that time or not. If i had to guess i think they weren't in at that time.

*Electrics sorted now.

axe well 👍

Phil D Cooke tell that to a big long isolated trip

They are standard pre update D1 headlights with some black tape for the frown 😉😁

@@lror haha it’s so sick, I wanna do it now lol

Thats it, simple and easily reversible

I believe he has now located it on the fire wall in the engine bay behind the abs module. I think he has used a different size bottle.

+Jake Ingleby Thanks mate 👍 long live your 300 😂

Bro no way drop the transfer case low low ratios and youll have same or more power

Most definitely, down to about 18 psi but depends on the tyre too , Grabbers could go as low as 15 , they would suck their way up a rock face !!

It is injected. I dont think it would be difficult to do but is there a real improvement/benefit as the 14cux has its limitations.

XenatR Thanks man 👍 if your asking about the D1 they are Maxxis Creepy Crawlers and running 8psi on beadlocks.

Ebay

Real killer on fuel 30lt/100km

iVlog That would be a cool video. Maybe one day we could make that happen. Glad we were able to get you to like at least one aspect of Land Rover.

LROR Land Rovers Off Road If I'm honest I've always liked the design of land rovers (exception of the RR). But what's always put me off is reliability. All great stuff and it's awesome to see them being used and cared for!

👍👍

+connor hesketh Yes it has a 2" lift and running 33" tyres.

Graham Smith I believe its a terrafirma unit

Swedish Holmberg yes they have centre diff lock.

WANAGON T4 for liFE Yes both are stock manual transmission. The D1 is twin locked while the D2 has centre diff lock and traction control.

Izaac Banks no its actually Sawpit Gully in Appin NSW, thanks for watching 👍

Yeah the 2 colours it came in are called zemmat and moritz. Also came with the roof rack and Rossignol edition skis, different front bumper than standard D1's, wheel arches/flares and from memory 2 front spot lamps but i could be mistaken about that.

This one has the jump seats in the back making it a 7 seater although im not sure if all Rossi's were like this.

@@lror yes,brochure states the 7seat,AC & automatic were optional but show std front bumper...i guess they decided to install the bullbar at the last minute.

+Andy McLellen The D2 did great too considering.

+Raymond Logister Thanks 👍 Yep agreed lockers offer way more control than waiting on traction control to do its thing.

Typically how much would it cost to fit lockers front and rear?? Im currently building a D1 3 door V8 and hadnt really considered lockers until late.

Ashcroft lockers front and rear with the heavy duty axels front and rear and compressor and instal, everything complete. Cost in the netherlands €4000,-- Maybe in Australie cheaper?

Lockers are about $1200 each give or take a couple of hundred depending which one you went for. Then there's setup cost if your not doing it yourself and that's about $400-$500 each. You definitely want hd axles if your upsizing tyres and they are about $1400 front and rear. Again add fitment cost if your not doing it yourself. Then if your planning on doing the harder trails constantly Ashcroft cv's are a good idea. They'll set you back about $1400 local but a lot cheaper if you get them direct from the UK.

Wow didnt realize how pricey they get. Might be something much later on down the track then, thanks for the info though fellas!

Wheels are 16" and tyres are 33s.

@@lror who owns the setup , I wanna set up my D2 like that

Flat dog flexy flares. Thanks for watching.

Simon Its a d2a so it has cdl and doesnt disengage traction control when locked.

LROR Land Rovers Off Road depends on the year and model. Some of these didn't have cdl fitted and some just didn't have the linkage so relied purely on the traction control As for the traction control disabling, yes it does. Again, depending on model year. But you will usually see it when the ignition is switched off and on again when diff lock is engaged.

Also, I'm guessing the D1 has front and rear diff lockers?

Yes they go great and the simplicity is well suited for offroad, however you may need to upgrade a fair amount of gear if your planning on tackling the hard stuff.

LROR Land Rovers Off Road yeah that's the problem, they could be a bit of a money pit :/

As with any make they all have their limits on stock components. Maintenance before mods is a golden rule.

Ethan Crisp Maybe you need to get your hearing checked. The 2door definitely doesn't sound like a diesel.

I'm saying both of them have that low rumble that sounds like a diesel truck and the rev is really low and powerful. More so than a stock Landover that barely sounds like anything

Td5 is great on fuel but the d1 v8 was not so good at around 30l per 100km. Did sound great though.

Ya ya td5 is a lot faster 😎

Karim Alameddine Thats a great idea, maybe one day we could do that.

LROR Land Rovers Off Road also would be nice to have your opinion on the discovery 5 and what you expect from it if you haven't driven it :-)

+Jason Dalton Maxxis Creepy Crawlers.

LROR Land Rovers Off Road What size?

Teddy Sapp 35x12.5

Justin Davis 35inch Creepy Crawlers.

Phil Cooke v8 💪

1968lr Well spotted man 👍

and the d 1 looks like its got bigger grip on its boots , a same tyre and same tyre pressure rule would have been a teller !

Yes different make and size.

D1 💪👊

Koito rob best of both worlds, very clever 👌

Cause the D1 has front rear air lockers

D2 has cdl but no diff lockers so had to wait for traction controll to kick in while the d1 was twin locked so definitely had the advantage.

Thanks Phil 🍻

phill downes i never knew a 200 series is an engine. I do know of a 200tdi engine though. Its also common to refer to a series 1 disco pre update (pre 94) as a 200 series while a post update D1 as a 300 series. Thank you for commenting and watching our video 👍

Going off the headlamps, wings, radiator grille, headlamp surrounds and front indicators it's a 200 series...

Nah both rigs are manual.

It sure is, that's why it has a big bum 😜

It's actually Appin but we go to Mt Walker often and always keen to meet and wheel with good people.
