Hi all, I have followed with interest the Disco3 debate and the merits of
the car
For good or bad. It seems that a good old Toyota LC with High/Low gears and
a
locking diff can perform just as well, if fitted with decent tires.
Untill recently I drove a LC120 AWD manual with centre diff lock a cracking
car
That took me anywhere I wanted to go, unfortunately for economic reasons we
had to part
Company.
An all new LC150 is now being released for 2010 in the UK, It will be
similar to the
Out going LC120 with 3ltr diesel engine, slightly improved interior and body
tweaks.
However the trans system is going to be a drive by pictures arrangement that
seems
to be very like the Disco3/4 setup, is this the way forward? Or are the big
4X4 car makers
storing up reliability problems for the future, with the increasing use of
electronic Gizmos.
At between 30 and 45 grand for the new LC it could be expensive to find out.
