Landrover Discovery 2.7 Td V6 and Swift

Leslie Pearce reviewed on 15 May 2021 a Landrover Discovery 2.7 Td V6 (190 PS/140 Kw, Year: 2004 - 2009) with a Swift Elegance Grande 850 of n.a. kg.

Towed an swift elegance grande 850 with a 2009 discovery 3 at 1750kgs (no payload)
Stuck at 60mph all the way because it was brand new and I was in no rush and it was just really comfortable and rock steady
Pushed it to 70 to see how it was handling and to pass a couple of trucks obviously limited to 60mph and it was all fine, no issues at all and rock steady. Now bear in mind I’m a class 1 driver, but even taking that aside this was a very stable combination helped by the sheer weight of the discovery. I feel that any relatively sensible driver could handle this really easily and overall was as the tow match says, a really good match

Steve reviewed on 06 August 2020 a Landrover Discovery 2.7 Td V6 aut. (190 PS/140 Kw, Year: 2004 - 2009) with a Elddis Affinity 540 of 1480 kg.

Disco will go anywhere you want and towing the van is great. Fell high up and in command of the van. I have the Auto box and woudlnt want a manual. Never struggles changing gear.
Car is 15 years old now but the air suspension makes for a great ride despite its bulk.
Obviously car would be great for a more heavy van and the newer versions are even better.
Would recommend a Disco!

Landrover Discovery Td5 aut. and Abbey

John reviewed on 21 January 2017 a Landrover Discovery Td5 aut. (139 PS/102 Kw, Year: 1999 - 2004) with a Abbey Spectrum 535 TA of 1690 kg.

I've towed with the following.
Discovery 3.9 auto
Discovery 3.9 manual
Discovery td5
Caravan was twin axle Swift at about 1870 kgs loaded.
Without a doubt all the land rovers were useless as tow cars, the V8s lacked torque and derv lacked power all were unreliable and very expensive to service and repair.
I now use a Ssangyong 270 ex. For towing it's very stable economical and totally reliable. Its Mercedes mechanicals are exceptional..Keep landrovers I'll never have another.

I have a Landrover Discovery TD5 Auto towinga Abbey Spectrum twin axle, and have been towing for 28 years-stability wise fantastic easily the best i have towed with, although power is left wanting at times (why they didnt put a 3litre diesel in i will never know) a good solid reliable combination though (so far) and wont be changing in the near future.

James reviewed on 07 September 2015 a Landrover Discovery 3.0 SDV6 (256 PS/188 Kw, Year: 2013 - 2016) with a Sprite Major 6 TD of 1459 kg.

Fuel costs aside, it's true what you've heard. There's few, bar none, that can compete with this land tug. The 255ps 3.0 TDV6 ne is epic in all situations we've ever had to come across. Ours is a 2012 Disco and we pull a Sprite Major 6 TD so it's 50 (something %). If fuel costs don't worry you too much and you can afford to run one I strongly suggest you go and try one out. EPIC!

Had the Discovery 3 now for 18 months and am very happy with it. Pulls our Bailey Senator Carolina without any problems. Been to Ireland, UK & France, you can see why the Land Rover has been Best Tow Car of the year so long. Average 23MPG on our last trip to Cornwall (1180 miles). Lots of power and precision with high driving position making this the perfect car to tow with, plus you have loads of room in the car to carry extra gear.

Towing this caravan with the Disco is effortless. The tow is smooth and confidence inspiring. Due to the weight of the Disco you are always in control. As long as I have wheel grip, it has pulled up all hills , no matter how steep. An excellent combination.

We towed our caravan to ~Monte Carlo and this car is amazing. Too often i forgot easily that I was towing a large twin axle and you really need to keep your eye on the speedometer.
I love the tow assist feature of the Land Rover which is great for reversing and for anti-snaking.

Chris Kearns reviewed on 26 April 2015 a Landrover Discovery 2.7 Td V6 aut. (190 PS/140 Kw, Year: 2004 - 2009) with a Bailey Unicorn Valencia of 1497 kg.

Towing a Bailey Unicorn S2 Valencia. My Disco is an auto and I wouldn't go back to manual ever. It is without doubt the best tow car I have ever had. But I think some of the claimed mpg figures in some reviews are very optimistic and certainly not my experience. Mine is in top condition with full LR service history but round the doorsI average around 23 mpg and towing around 21 mpg. The only time I get it above 30 mpg is solo at a steady 60mph. Bear inmind its kerbweight is pushing 2.7 tons and it has the aerodynamics of a brick. How anyone gets anything like 38 mpg out of one beats me. Also servicing and repairs are expensive, even using independent LR specialists. So it is a brilliant car, but buy one with your eyes open and don;t expect it to be cheap to run!

What can I say? It does everything it says on the tin!! Disco IV with 8 speed auto. Previously had a BMW 5 series GT which never felt comfortable when we towed to Cornwall last year. This year and a different story. The Disco pulled like a dream. Great car pulling a great caravan the Bailey Unicorn Barcelona twin axle. Looking forward to France next year. It's the perfect combination and 22 mpg not bad for a combo weighting in at nearly 4.5 tons.

Landrover Discovery Td5 aut. and Bessacarr

Peter Sniadowski reviewed on 07 July 2014 a Landrover Discovery Td5 aut. (139 PS/102 Kw, Year: 1999 - 2004) with a Bessacarr Cameo 645 of 1769 kg.

I have towed my Bessacarr with the Discovery for three years now. Overall I`m very pleased with the performance. The Disco was not designed for speed but it pulls extremely well. Acceleration is `leisurely` but once up to speed on the flat (52 m.p.h. to attain 4th gear) it`ll tow all day at the legal 60. When I can I use cruise control and this seems to make some difference to fuel consumption, for the better, around 8-10% as a guestimate.
Motorway inclines have to be approached with some degree of preparedness,depending on the severity of the slope, i.e. shifting manually into 3rd prevents the gearbox from `hunting` for the appropriate gear.

My td5 was an absolute dog to drive... Veering all over the road tracking lorry ruts etc. bit of a white knuckle rid at times even slowing right down on motorways...
Changed my tyres from crappy Goodyear wranglers to avon rangers. Amazing difference on handling.
Anyone with a td5 steering all over the place, get ur tyres changed. Apparently the wall of the tyre deteriates causing the sloppy handling

Landrover Discovery Td5 and Caravan

Neil reviewed on 31 July 2013 a Landrover Discovery Td5 (139 PS/102 Kw, Year: 1999 - 2004) with a Caravan of 3500 kg.

Not really a tower of caravans but a little more 'commercial' - a Blue Line twin axle box trailer plated for 3500kg in which we carry 'various items to shows and festivals such as Glastonbury.

In 'standard' form the car is pretty weak as a tow horse - my old Landcruiser Amazon would eat it for breakfast.

I had it chipped, added a VGT turbo and large intercooler and it will haul 2500kg up and down the motorway all day - but pulling out of a junction is flat out dangerous - even in its tuned state the car struggles to get moving - the TD5 power is simply all in the wrong place - high rpm starts will destroy a clutch in no time at all. the self levelling and air suspension results in a disconnect between driver and trailer that I find disconcerting - I like to 'feel' what it is doing, the Disco will wander off line and you need to be real gentle and cautious how you get it back on track - dangerous.

But it has hauled 2500kg at 60mph for 400 miles while returning 32mpg ... but I was cream crackered by the end of the journey.

Would I use one for towing again - not a chance - the vehicle is now up for sale.

I have owned my disco 3 HSE for 4 years now and have towed all over Europe as well as Britain with my swift conquerer (twin axel) and I cannot fault the car, I had the car re-mapped about 3 years ago for the extra torque, but to be honest I didn't need to, it's just a beast of a tow car !!!!!

Brutal power and precision with high driving position being perfect. Air/auto level suspension also excellent for coupling and cruise. Will be getting a D4 later this year to sample the extra 25% torque. Awesome and made in England!

I have towed with a variety of Land Rovers and other large engine saloons various sized caravans although this is about the biggest and heaviest. The TD5 is by far the best vehicle I have ever used for towing. On the motorway using cruise control the complete rig moves along at a steady 56-60MPH without stress excitement or unwelcome surprises. The availability of low ratio gears makes the concern of climbing steep windy hills thing of the past, although top speed is a little limited. An excellent towing and towed vehicle

Barry Gough reviewed on 22 February 2010 a Landrover Discovery Td5 aut. (139 PS/102 Kw, Year: 1999 - 2004) with a Bailey Pegasus 624 of 1638 kg.

I have been towing for over 25 years and my 2002 Discovery TD5 auto is the best tow car I have had. With the new Bailey Pegasus behind I found it an ideal combination. I can also vouch for the effectiveness of the Traction Control Unit which was also fitted to my previous Bailey Wyoming which I swapped for the Pegasus as a tyre deflated on the first trip out in the Wyoming (not a puncture - just lost pressure) and I didn't realise it until I had a wobble that was immediately stabilised. Wheel changed and no problems but fitter could find nothing wrong with tyre/wheel/valve which never lost pressure again after being reinflated?

Can honestly say I have never experienced anything other than safety and comfort when towing with the Disco. I also have a Dixon Bate Shocklink fitted which helps ease the stresses on twin axle "A" frames. This makes for a very smooth tow and have used the Shocklink on three 4 x 4's now having had it adjusted to give a level tow with each van. I highly recommend the Shocklink also!

having not towed any sort of trailer for some 20 years, the wife suggested we get a caravan, so i bought a discovery 2 td5 auto. the truth is i don,t know the caravan is there and often forget i am actually towing it, a little dodgy sometimes i know but no problems so far. I can identify the bits about changing down too much when in cruise control other than that an excellent choice of tow vehicle.

The Discovery III HSE Automatic pulls our Swift Conqueror 645 TA with ease. We took it to Italy via Austria on various routes last year. No drama, even on steep hairpin bends. We get 19-22mpg towing in UK and got 24mpg on uncrowded Austrian motorways at around 55mph. Best car we have ever towed with including V8 Range Rovers and older Discoveries.

Peter M reviewed on 01 October 2009 a Landrover Discovery Td5 aut. (139 PS/102 Kw, Year: 1999 - 2004) with a Sterling Eccles Jewel of 1484 kg.

I have owned several Discoveries but this is my first Td5 Auto. I have also towed for many years and I'm a professional HGV driver, so I understand the needs of a tow driver. This vehicle ticks all the boxes. Plenty of power on start up, good torque when overtaking and climbing hills. The only downside is when using cruise control in hilly areas, the vehicle tends to drop gears too quickly and then holds them for too long. If you override the cruise control under these circumstances you get a much better and more economical ride. ten out of ten!

(which takes the stress out of towing for both the driver and the car, as the electronics keep it in the right gear all the time.) or maybe i drive to quickly. either way as a towcar the tdv6 is fab.

Just a great tow vehicle, doesn't struggle at all. Get the ECU remapped and fit a descent air filter and this transforms the vehicle. Fuel figures with the van on the back at a steady 60 are nearly the same as driving solo at 80 ish! best function is the low range for reversing / maneuvering. Traction system is superb for pulling the stuck Jap 4X4 out of the mud when their operators can't engage diff lock mode etc. The seats are as comfy as you favorite sofa! I have traveled 600 miles per day without any back / leg problems there are not many cars I can say the same about.

Got a 2004 Landmark with egr removed and decat done as well. I tow with a performance chip and have no power issues at all. The car has rear air suspension so suffers virtually no pitching at all, and there are six of us plus gear. I get quite a bit of lateral movement with the unit so will be interested to see how it is with a full polybush kit fitted. hopefully it will remove the wandering that the disco suffers from. My previous caravan was an avondale 6400 twin axle and it towed that effortlessly as well. Don't know about mpg but it has to be better than my toyota granvia which returns about 18 mpg( i don't exceed speed limits but i don't take long to get to them). I bought this car because of its towing capabilities and as of yet am not disappointed. oh by the way the car has 110k miles on it.

Towing with my disco 111 Td auto was a little daunting to begin with! It was sluggish to pull off & appeared to lose power on any type of hill. Maintaining speeds over 55mph was tiresome & at times frustrating. However,with exerience comes solutions! GIVE IT SOME GAS!.once I stopped trying to drive it 'environmentaly' and let it have its head,she behaved much better with no appreciable loss of mpg. Still not convinced that auto's make good towing cars,I haveto say that the surefootedness of my disco is very reassuring.

We tow an Elldis Super Sirrocco with an Auto Disco and the performance is superb, 70 mph up hill and down, the only way to slow it down is using the cruise control at 65 mph and the fuel return is 24.9 mpg. Passing is relaxed and with no movement passing even the largest artic.

Landrover Discovery Td5 and Elddis

Brian reviewed on 25 July 2007 a Landrover Discovery Td5 (139 PS/102 Kw, Year: 1999 - 2004) with a Elddis Odyssey 534 of 1560 kg.

The Landrover pulls this van without any effort and a constant 60 mph can be achieved on the motorway in 5th gear, and still plenty of power to maintain speed on hills.

Landrover Discovery Td5 aut. and Coachman

George Filer reviewed on 22 June 2007 a Landrover Discovery Td5 aut. (139 PS/102 Kw, Year: 1999 - 2004) with a Coachman Pastiche 460/2 of 1430 kg.

The vehicle inproves on the road with the van on the back and tows this van with little effort.
Having a tyre delaminate on the motorway the weight of the vehicle enabled us to control the side movements that would have caused an accident. In the event the only way we knew the tyre had gone was a car behind flashing and a sight lightening of the steering.
Th vehicle in auto form returns about 22/23mpg against a norm of 26/27mpg

Landrover Discovery Td5 and Compass

Des Crow reviewed on 18 March 2007 a Landrover Discovery Td5 (139 PS/102 Kw, Year: 1999 - 2004) with a Compass Rallye 634 of 1830 kg.

I wouldn't choose any other vehicle to tow my caravan. It has given me outstanding performance for the last 4 years, and it doesnt consume lots of fuel, I keep my speed down and dont have an expensive journey.

Landrover Discovery Td5 and Bessacarr

Nick reviewed on 12 March 2007 a Landrover Discovery Td5 (139 PS/102 Kw, Year: 1999 - 2004) with a Bessacarr Cameo 635 of 1725 kg.

I have towed with the Discovery since buying it in 2004. It is a facelifted GS 5 and since purchase I have uprated the intercooler, fitted a power ECU upgrade and added an ITG air filter. This makes a massive difference to the standard car - especially towing, a 1900kg laden caravan. The bessacarr has good road manners and the shockers make a big difference. It tows much better than our previous twin axle, a 2002 Elddis Sirocco.

I am hoping to change the car next year as it apporaches 70,000miles and will be looking at a Discovery 3 as it's replacement, though after the TD5 it will have a lot to live upto.
