discovery series 3

[motorhead]

here you go - looks good

[piledriver]

all these lights looks like a spider!!!!

[ozexige]

Pile is right 'head' it does look like a spider and it has the 'burble of an American V8' - check out the history of the Rover V8 engine. But this 4WD has the heritage of the Discovery which in its original English form was the biggest P.O.S. EVER built.

not thus far

I don't have to hear from Rover to know this thing will still have a low HP 30 y.o. (in its original form) V8 - if it had anything like a new BMW bent 8 we would have all heard about it.

those specs are for the final version of the series 2 not the series 3

Sorry 'maniac, but it's still the original Chevy V8 bored out to 4.6L like the Range Rover. They need to stick a BMW engine in it - any BMW engine!
217 hp from a 4.6L V8 - shit - what a piss poor effort. The Jeep Overland (4.7L V8) puts out 195 kw or 260 hp.

maybe the 231HP 3.0 inline 6 - should do the job well
