Hi all, new here. Considering the purchase of a 2008 D3 G4 edition primarily for use on longer overland trips. I have previously owned Disco 2s and 3s (all petrol LHD) and am happy with the vehicle in terms of comfort and performance off road. I was not looking for a G4 version however I have found one that looks like the hard work has been done already. First planned trip is going through Morocco and down into Western Sahara/Mauritania in March next year for 3 weeks and second is a month exploring northern Spain in the summer.
I would be looking at a few additions such as a long range fuel tank (replaces spare wheel) and a conversion to a rear mounted tyre carrier and would probably remove the third row seats to reduce weight and increase storage. Would probably change the roof rack to accommodate a tent as well however I would also be interested in keeping "the look" as I enjoy the heritage of the vehicles.
I know I would be my vehicle and I can do what I want, but just wanted to test opinions and views as to how a modified version would be seen by the club in general. It seems that a lot of G4 editions have been built back close to the specification by owners, and looking at auto trader, the three for sale are all different in the final fit and finish.
The possible purchase I am looking at already has the majority of the mechanical upgrades and routine changes that need to be made already so saves considerable time and effort and whilst costing more than buying standard and upgrading, does negate the need to hunt around for a vehicle with the rear diff lock which is itself a challenge.
