Group: Forum Member Posts: 3, Visits: 62	Firstly,Hello.I think I should introduce myself. My name is Marc.I'm no stranger to Landys,currently owning 2 90's a 110 overlander and a Series 1.& Previously having owned a 2003 D2 Disco. I was wondering if any of you knowledgeable peeps could give me a little guidance. I'm looking for a D2 Td5.I don't want an original challenge vehicle.So first question.How do I know a genuine one from a look a like? I have found this one http://www.autotrader.co.uk/used-cars/land-rover/discovery/used-land-rover-discovery-2-5-td5-g4-7-seat-5dr-caldicot-fpa-201303265949364 I phoned the dealer,but he was a bit vague about its origin or origionality. I would be grateful for any help on this. Regards Marc.

For standard ones, there are good guides in French in Univers Land Magazine or in English in LRO Magazine. As for look-alike, there are a couple of nice ones heres, based on Limited Edition G4 ones.

However bear in mind you may get a real one for look-alike money if you are lucky Anyway, this LHD Td5 is a Limited Edition one that was outfitted to look like a G4, this is NOT a genuine event vehicle. G4D2 specialists will tell you more. A bientôt ;) PS: where about are you in France? l=Oo\________/oO=l & l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l SDV8 L405 RR, TRëK Range Rover P48 & L322 Range Rover "BT52 CNE"

There are quite a few G4 LE (Limited Editions) available and they come in 4 colours, Yellow, Black, Silver and of course Tangiers Orange Good luck in your search.

Make sure you get you Disco before the summer for the French G4OC tour in south of France! l=Oo\________/oO=l & l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l SDV8 L405 RR, TRëK Range Rover P48 & L322 Range Rover "BT52 CNE"

Group: Forum Member Posts: 3, Visits: 62	I will not be buying this particular D2. The dealer said.He had no idea of the genuine mileage as the speedo had been changed from a Kmh one to a mph one 2000 miles ago.No service history. He said it was not an event vehicle but was a factory special edition..Hmmmm. I'll keep looking. Any ideas where to look?I have scoured Ebay & Autotrader.Plus all the French sites.With no luck.:-(
