The Land Rover Discovery has escaped from the shadow of its Range Rover sibling to become a genuine modern classic. The Discovery was launched in 1989 with a view to becoming a key player in the market for stylish, off-road vehicles. The market was already dominated by a wealth of models from the existing leaders, and so Land Rover had a great challenge ahead.
However, twenty successful years on, this Land Rover Discovery Haynes Enthusiast Guide tells the story of how the various incarnations - three so far - came into being from Land Rover's unsteady post-war beginnings, through its inception as a last-ditch defence against the Japanese 4x4 invasion to its current incarnation as simply the 4x4 to be seen in. Listed are the many technical specifications, advice on what to buy (and what not to buy!) and where as well as how to accessorise your Discovery. There is also a useful section on modifying your Discovery with advice on everything from in-car entertainment to LPG conversions and suspension upgrades.
Land Rover Discovery Haynes Enthusiast Guide gives a real insight into what it's like to run a Discovery on a day-to-day basis. Despite its on-road reputation, the Discovery is extremely capable off-road, so there are details on how to prepare yourself and your Discovery for off-roading too.
With full coverage of the latest Discovery 3 range along with clear details and advice, the Land Rover Discovery Haynes Enthusiast Guide is the perfect companion for beginners and long-term enthusiasts alike, and makes a fine addition to the Haynes Enthusiast Guide series.
