- Hey there, fellow off-road enthusiasts! Welcome back to our channel, where we bring you the latest and greatest in the world of Land Rovers. Today, we're in for a real treat as we pit five generations of the iconic
Discovery going up against each other on a hard trail, pushing the 4x4’s to their limits. So buckle up and join us as we venture off-road!
#automobile #4x4 #offroad #landrover #discovery1 #discovery2 #discovery3 #discovery4 #discovery5
LR4 / Discovery 4 is the best generation of the Discovery. Peak of its evolution. The D5 started a downturn towards a Crossover platform. I’ve owned 2 LR4’s and currently own one with the 5.0 Jaguar V8. It’s a beast. Cheers from the U.S.
Welcome to the channel! The D5 is almost like a Range Rover they’ve got so big now! D4 is a good vehicle it did really well on those trails we did !! 👍
Theyre good but the disco 1 and 2 are defo better. Easier to fix, better offroad more reliable. In the US you sadly got the bad buick V8. But over here they have the good 200TDI 300TDI and TD5. And ofcourse the good V8s. I like all but the disco 1 and 2 are the best IMO :)
This is about the tyres and driver skill really. Was quite evident when the guy in the Disco 5 tried to tackle that first corner. All the other drivers took it wider and he tried to cut the corner which was a bit of a fail but the car shows that they're still a great off roader. The Disco 4 was my favourite, looks great with the mods and takes everything in its stride... Great to see all the Discos together though, a bloody great video and thank you for posting this up. really interesting.
Cheers buddy it’s interesting to see as no one has done anything like this before on actual challenging trails so credit to the guys coming along to give it a go!
Off camera spicy lane is a hard trail go to fast and you’ll get damage so to see the big machines slowly crawl around and do it is amazing! The track is tight and narrow probably suited to jimnys! But the big boys proved you can still get up it!!
Tires is one thing, but Disco 5 has very poor turning radious, that is why it manages worse.
Yah it’s really long such a big heavy car! Didn’t guide have the height compared to the D4 I think??
D5 with all that unnecessary gear, struggled, becuase the thing is overweight
Veny interesting comparison, not only of the capabilities of the different vehicles, but the different driving styles needed to get the best out of them.
Yeah this was amazing to see the older disco can give it a bit more pace but modern tech doesn’t need it I know they don’t flex but that traction control really does work well!! Great day had by all..
Wow this is one of my faves! Smashing video, really great drivers from 1-5! amazing how the disco’s have changed. Well done x
Thanks wifey! Can we buy a series 3 now haha!
That conversion of the D2 using the bed of a PU Def is bloody beautiful. Well done.
He’s done an amazing job on that build credit to him!! And I think that’s one of the best looking D2’s going!!! 👌👌😎
Excellent video. Well done all the drivers
Cheers mark! Was a great day out everyone enjoyed and fair play to the guys with there vehicles not shy taking them
Up spicy hill as one false move of the line will get body damage for sure! Credit to all drivers! 👌👌😁
for myself, it's the D1's. All the electronics annoys me.
Solid axle, triple locked and plus two in the shocks. Unstoppable.
Probably why i own an auto, a manual and converted another into a camper ;)
This was a brilliant video mate. Complete Disco heritage lineup doing what it designed to do.
Different vehicles and drivers and different driving styles appropriate to the vehicle.
Cheers for sharing.
Cheers buddy! Yeah everyone was doing something different in ways they know that works to get the machines up spicy hill!
Honestly to see spicy hill on person it’s quite a fear challenge as it’s very tight narrow steep and huge rocks it’s not for the faint hearted but everyone took it there stride pretty well!! 👌
The D4 is a lot more modified than it looks. She's got full underbody guards, the rock sliders, and engine remap and a lift kit, she's covered in self healing film as well. I just didn't activate the lift kit for the day kept the suspension factory mode. That corner on spicy lane is a lot harder than it looks. And I had the car in the wrong Terrain response mode too the first time I tried to go up. Slippery mode works best there... for any future reference. Great video Ad, loved this one, was really cool to see the Grey Wolf from the outside doing her thing.
Mate it was an awesome days to have everyone come and really show what these cars can do (sensibly) was great look forward to more trips!! Interesting to see how the D4/D5 just take everything in its stride slowly but still does everything!!
@@ALL_4_WHEELS Yeah, I'm keen to do another for sure! I could see myself sneaking over to wales again in october or november perhaps for a sneaky bit of laning.
Well you know where to come and be with the best crew! Will it be the D2 or D4??
@@ALL_4_WHEELS probably the D2 next time. Want to try her on spicy lane see how she does with that axle twister
Mate that will be awesome do you fancy going down spicy then back up?? Will be some brown pants moments going down.!!!
Great video, really enjoyed seeing all of the Discovery’s together👍
Nice one! Thankyou glad you enjoyed it we all had great fun on such a technical trail! We are the first to have all 5 discos together and driven how they should be! Enjoy the channel! 👌
At last!,a bunch of disco's I can appreciate, 😊😊😊
Cheers bud which one was your favourite??😁
Nice way to spend your birthday Ad, 🎉 interesting video ( as always) xx
Another great video mate. Brilliant to see all 5 of the Disco's doing their thing and great to see how each deals with the challenging sections.
Got to say though, the D2 probably made it look the hardest 😂
Cheers ad yeah interesting to see the older discos need little bit more pace,while the 4/5 just sit back and let the computers work out what to do! Yet they all still completed the trails with out failing or winching!! 😁
I really enjoyed this. With all the miserable things in the world lately and plastered all over CZcams this channel your co tent is so refreshing.10/10 loved every minute of it. Thank you for sharing. As a fellow brit I love land rovers people always slag them off yet they've never owned one. My dad has 2 defenders my uncle has a d2 and d4 my buying my own soon just deciding on which disco. People underestimate their capabilities they are way more capable. Look at the jungle expeditions many discos. Again thank you boss 👍🏴🏴🏴👍
Hey buddy thankyou this means alot really appreciate that comment! Takes alot of work to plan these trips and film them
And put it all together!! Enjoy the videos!! 😎👍
Brilliant video Adam., and very happy belated birthday wishes to buddy 👍
Cheers bud thankyou so much!! 🍻🍻
Kudos to the Disco 5 driver. I'd be bricking it taking something that expensive up a lane like that! Looks good too,
Yes full credit to paul! He’s designed all the underbody protection and all bar work and everything else that’s on the D5! He’s not a shy driver too I’ve seen his Devon videos and those lanes can get pretty nasty down that way!
But what an epic line up D1-D5 was so good to watch and spicy lane is really steep super tight and narrow! Great effort by everyone!! 🔥🔥
It's a good job that the d5 spent money on extra stickers. Fair play to him though. That's obviously not an off road car. Can't go wrong with a D2 with CDL and decent tyres. The peak of land rover.
Certainly good too see how they’ve developed and how big they’ve got over 30 years!! That D5 is so big and wide and he’s not shy to use it full credit to him!
Yes I actually have to agree with you it was the peak of land rovers 👍
I remember watching carwows video on that Disco 5 at tixover. The owner said it weighs over 3 tonne so no surprise it struggled. And that disco 2 is triple locked so will basically go anywhere 😂
D4 for me... Great machine
Was a great looking D4 I loved the body magnets on it to protect it from scratches great day and a fantastic off-road test against the discos! 😎👌👌
Excellent video and channel thanks 🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it and welcome to the channel! Which was your favourite Discovery??👍
Apart from the desire to have a tent on the roof(?), off roading in tight spaces becomes a real problem!
Good advert overall for LR Disco’s
Cheers buddy,that D5 was packing a load of weight!! 3.1 tonnes I think!
Was a great day out and good to see 5 generations together on a challenging tight hill climb!! 👌👌👌
Great video - had a D1, D2, D2, D2, D4, D4 only the D1 ever went off road, wish I had the time to do some more - much too worried about scratching my car - hopefully I'll get over it. Wonderfully viewing though - keep the great work and if you break them you can hop over and see how Christian and Vera fix them.
Gotta love the land rovers haha!! It was so good to have all 5 generations out no winches allowed just see how the drivers and the technology of the vehicles sort it all out!! 👌
Really enjoyed this one mate! Great comparison video. I'm on team D1 myself, good driver.👍
Cheers Tom! Was such a good day! Looking forward to our trip soon!!fancy going up
Spicy lane after strata and elan valley??
@@ALL_4_WHEELS love to mate! I'm in, looks challenging.
@thomaswebster4103 do you fancy going down it then up?? It’s a right mission going down! Plenty of wheel lifts on those corners!!
Fair play to the guy bringing tens of thousands of pounds of a d5 out on the lanes.
Full credit to Paul hes build on the D5 is crazy everything you see on that is he’s own design! And he’s not shy to use it! He’s been on some mega lanes in Devon! I think
We nailed and made a cracker of a video!! 😜👍👍
@@ALL_4_WHEELS not his own design, Devon 4x4 did nearly all of that, in other videos he even said "i dont knot how it works but they did awesome job"
Well I’m not sure but for me it was great to have all 5 discos and all just get out there see what there vehicles could do! I think the D3 did really well very unusual to see one on springs though??🤔🤔
Great to see them all out. I’d like to see that D 5 without all the roof add ons as it would be even better I’d say
@kieranyoung9348 some weight on that D5!!
I think it weighed in at 3.1 tonnes the owner said! It was all kitted out inside with fridges and things!!
Really interesting to see how they perform, obviously I’m biased towards the d1 but all very capable vehicles
Haha thanks was a great day out! Nice to have all 5 discovery’s and half a D2 haha some good wheel lifts too! 👌
@@ALL_4_WHEELS yeah I was surprised on the first section the older ones did better. Knew the new ones would be decent on cross axles
Wow all the disco's together,what a brilliant video well done.
Hey Alan thanks mate! It was an awesome day and to get 5 discovery’s out with us was incredible!! Which was your favourite disco??..👍
@@ALL_4_WHEELS Hi I have a sorted disco 2 so I am bit biased,but still impressed with a stock D3
@AlanPhilpot-kg2jo the D3 was pretty good boy different seeing on on springs instead of the usual air suspension! 👍👌👌
Yes I forgot the D3 was on coils ,The D4 was also impressive.Not many green lanes here in Essex ,but can't complain I have a pay and play day monthly ,ten minutes drive away with Rochford & District 4x4 club
@AlanPhilpot-kg2jo you’ll have to come to wales and join us for an epic adventure!!!
Great video! Really interesting to see how they all performed. Has to the the D5 for me, not that I’m biased! 😂
Haha thanks for watching!!was a really good trip and finally a full disco generation battle!!
Great video mate. I have to say I’m biased because I owned a D2. And look at the video, they can even shed weight and disrobe when they need to. Awesome 👍😂❤
Haha well we had half a discovery D2! Haha next time we need a Full D2! 😁🤣🤣🤣
I own a 2008 Discovery 3 SE V8 with air suspension and terrain response, with that said I would never go to coil springs, the purpose of the Disco 3 is to have the air suspension in my opinion and I'm not a fan of diesel engines made by Ford. Have 101K miles on it, and with it's sometimes pain in the butt gremlins, I love the truck!
Cheers 🍻 🇺🇸
Hey great to have fans from American! Hope you enjoy the channel!!
A D3 should be left as it is but o think
He had problems with the airbags so converted it to springs gained a lot of height from doing that and the D3 did pretty well???..👍
My boss has a discover 3 and theyve installed an SRT v10 it spunds incredible only god knows where he managed to obtain that engine. It took him almost 2 years in his spare time to instal is . 🏴🍻🇺🇸
It’s all about tyres, highly recommend CST Mud kings 17”
Cant choose between em Jlr should keep a rugged off roader in each madel they now make .great video and happy birthday Adam 👍🏴💯
Hey Justin,that was a great video indeed! My favourite was the D3 just seemed so much better and bit of underdog as not many people give the D3 credit! Mostly down to reliability 😂 but hell it did everything well!!
The d4/d5 very smart motors fair play for the lads bringing them
Out and not being shy using them!! 👌
@ALL_4_WHEELS
Yea lots of money in d4 and d5 your passion shines through Adam .you should do a video on your background you no your stuff would be interesting to find out .Great line up of vehicles and an awesome for those involved 👏 👍
Cheers! I might do I’ll put something in the next video..
I did actually have plans to do a podcast type video but not sure how that would work…..
@ALL_4_WHEELS
Go.for it Adam 👍
@@ALL_4_WHEELS Would be fairly easy to do, get some local lads together, could also do something over zoom or something too, record it and stick it online. Maybe just a nice 10 - 15 minute vid
Everyone done great but I’m well impressed with the D5 as they are considered a bit of a pavement princess but there it is killing it. Nice one.
Hey buddy! Yeah the D5 did amazing such a big vehicle and to take it on one of the toughest and tightest trails he did amazing to get the D5 up there!! And no winching!!! 👌👌
Fantastic video Ad keep them coming
Cheers Ian! Glad you enjoyed it! We had so much fun and were the first to film a full generation of discos!! This channel is really awesome great bunch of guys just doing what we love doing!!!
Nice one lads! What is the exhaust setup on the d1? With or without cat? With q or 2 mufflers? Cheers
Not sure but I will ask the owner! 👍👍😎
Well done what a great video
Cheers buddy! A good proper set of discovery’s battling it out no winches allowed I think they all did very well! Great bunch of lads and cars!!
Also people saying if they had a d5 its to expensive to take out etc cmon its what it's built for. Its like buying a crate of beer and just looking at it and not drinking it 😂
Haha yeah spot on there! If you’ve got it use it! That’s my motto!!
Btw, little suggestion here. Would be cool if you did some trialling through canes. Bit of a change up from green lanes. Dont have to but it would be cool
There is a few videos on here doing that you’ll see them
If you scroll through only two trial videos but I’m sure you will love them!
Wow! Happy little boys playing in the mud like rough tough guys😂 interesting that they all have guides😂😂😂
😁🤣🤣 haha unfortunately this all we have here in the uk we’re very limited on the trails as they get Boggy and over used they get closed or if the too extreme they get closed by the authorities so yeah very limited to the “FUN” we can have but we make the best of what we’ve got!
Enjoy the channel! 👌👌
The Disco 5 driver made the car look bad
I think it’s just the size of the car on that tiny narrow track?? 🤔🤔
The D5 is deffinitely a candidate for diff locks
Traction control and difflocks really paid off for the D5! She’s a heavy machine!!
@@ALL_4_WHEELSWell over GVM, if he took off a lot of those bolt on extras, it would he sailed up that…
@marktalbot4wd a lot of accessories on that D5!! Very top heavy!
This has the be the Disco Mat Watson reviewed when it crapped on that Torueg.
Yeah that the one!! 👌
It is not "propper," if the tires are on such different levels grip whise. But over all, very nice video showing what even stock LR 3,4, and 5 can do :) Love the red monster by the way :)
Cheers buddy it was great to have 5 generations of disco out on a tough trail no one else has filmed that kind of thing so was really good to get the guys together 👌👌
Im curious as how the bonnet on the D2 opens with the raised air intake..... lol
Actually that’s a good question I don’t know how it opens either haha!! 🤔🤣🤣
Happy Birthday!🎉
Appreciate that thankyou! What a day awesome day out with the lads!! 👌👌
Does anyone know what the creaking noise is on the disco 4 ? Ball joint possibly ?
I didn’t hear anything..what time in the vid did you hear that??
16:44-16:50
Bash plates underneath scraping on the rocks! 👌👌
D5 is way overloaded with stuff that you simply don’t need. It’s way too top heavy and god knows what that thing must weight, it has to be over GVM.
It’s styled like a overlander,I think if I remember he said it weights in at 3.1 tonnes!!
It's got to be the 1...Good driving is better than electronic anyday😊😊
Yeah d1,d2 gotta give it bit more power and speed and D3,4,5 just crawl around Land Rover has changed so much over the 30 years of development
Still pretty good to watch how the modern machines electronics try to figure out what to do…
Need to get the isuzu rodeo down there 🤔😉
Hey jack how you doing buddy!! Yes definitely need you and the rodeo giving it a go down and back up!! It’s a really good going down giving mega wheel lifts haha!
the biggest difference was in drivng styles...unfortunately. Also comparing light empty D1 and D2 against to that stupidly overweight D5... and his driving - all gear but no idea
I guess the D2 was cheating as only half a disco haha!! My idea behind the video to show how they’ve changed so much over 30years they got bigger heavier and smoother loosing the shape of the original..
Was a great day had by all! We was going to try going down but may have been a different story with how top heavy and the weight of the 3,4,5..but still good to watch I hope you agree??😁😁
I still want to do Dunlop hill
Hi rob how you doing,September time we will go and do Dunlop hill if you fancy it..I can’t remember what you’re driving..we’re pretty busy in august but if you hold off till September we will take you out..are you Swansea or Cardiff way if i remember??
@@ALL_4_WHEELS Hi, I’d love to join you at some point with my D3……unfortunately, I buggered my ankle a few weeks ago, tearing all the ligaments, and ye s it’s the right one, so can’t drive an automatic. Hopefully if it settles down by then and I’ve been given the all clear to drive, I’m in
@robgreenhill1426 sorry to hear that rob hope you make a good recovery soon!! You know where we are get in contact when your ready to go!! 👍
@@ALL_4_WHEELS thanks, much appreciated
Does the D2 have diff lock?
I’m
Not sure I’m
Guessing it has but I’ll find out…👌👌
So the D5 “all the gear, no idea”
To be fair that’s the biggest vehicle that’s done that trail he’s also carrying a lot of weight I think he did amazing! Not once did he give up or get the winch out!! 👌👌
@@richardsquires1785 to be fair, tens of thousands of pounds on a car with a number plate worth more than my D3! You got to take your hat off to this guy for off roading it.
@GarethT-zg6ox full credit to Paul and also Mike in the D4 great cars! Big price tags and they wasn’t shy to give it a try!!
I think everyone did really well each car and driver very different in many ways! 👌👌👍👍
Cracking vid Ad was a great run out 👌
@ANTUR4x4 cheers Andy thanks for helping getting some excellent footage! 👌👌 was a fantastic day👍
D5 making a right hash over it .
He struggled on that first corner but that’s just to shear size of the D5! And weighing in at 3.1tonne
It’s some corner that first one!! 👌👌👌
Anyone know which one has the most power out of the five. Just curious. You'll know Adam. 👌😁👍
Haha I’m thinking the D2??🤫🤐👌👌
As much as I want to like the D5, I hate it’s design. It doesn’t look anything like a Disco. :(
It’s amazing to see how big it really is compared to the D1 really big machine!!
I was excited to watch this video and keen to see the D3 comparison until you uttered the words 'this has been converted to springs'.... Just stopped it at that comment.
Aww hope fast forwarded that bit to watch the rest of the action??😜
Bang on
Nice one! 👌 which was your favourite??..
@@ALL_4_WHEELS hi has to be the d2 but really heavy off road work the d1and d2s are the best the3/4/5 just reley to much much on electrics to work well for long periods with out proper maintenance .
I think the Pinacle would be a d2 Td5 automatic larger torque converter front and rear e lockers . Factory fitted. Ace so antiroll bars disconnect when in low range .2 inch lift kit 235/850 tyers. A set of maxi drive 49% low range reduction gears would give fantastic low speed control and climbing ability. And a mile marker hydraulic which just to pull the Toyotas out . Great video
Very gooda!
Cheers buddy that was a pretty epic and special video great drive by everyone! Which was your favourite disco??
no big chris with his range rover ???I thought
He sold that off earlier this year he’s got a SVR now..but said he will be back out with us one day! This was a disco only event! 👌👌
D3❤❤❤
😎👍👍
Happy birthday
Cheers buddy!! What a way to spend a birthday! Was an amazing trip good to get all the Discovery’s together!! 👌👌
Has to be the d2... And not just because that's what I drive 😅
Haha good choice! I loved the pick up version admittedly it’s ony Half a discovery but what a conversion great build!!
Disco 4 South Africa
😎👍👍
That D5 has way too much weight up top
Very very heavy car but it’s kitted out for overlanding 3.1 tonnes some big heavy disco that!!
d1 foe the win tho skinny tyre lift and there u go
D1 perfect straight from the box!! But good to see all the others together! 👌
The landrover name died in 2001 ..... RIP
Shame things changed but hey we had a great time filming and enjoying the trails hope you enjoyed this vid too! 👌
The cars no one except hill billies asked for..
The cars no one thought to see together haha!
The cars nobody would expect to all finish spicy lane without a break down.. but here we are 😊
I was going to ask the lads if they all wanted to pop the bonnets up just for fun! (Typical disco thing haha) but really really great day out!
@@ALL_4_WHEELS 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Great video! Shame someone was recording in 720p which made it look like it was filmed in 1999.
I was filming in 4k 30fps
which footage looked bad?
I was using CapCut to edit the video hopefully it didn’t compress the video too much I then saved it in 4k..
I’m still learning with use of editing the videos on different software..
@@ALL_4_WHEELS the secondary camera on each section. You can "torrent" adobe premier pro to edit content. Its a really great program once you get used to it. One of the cameras/phones was 720p, no way it was even 1080p. So even when you create your video and render it as a 4K video, each time it cuts to the lower resolution, even though its rendered in 4K, the quality is going to be really poor in comparison to the video recorded in 4K. So much content is viewed on 4K tvs in living rooms, so the high resolution really helps your videos stand out, especially over time.
The D5 driver is put near clueless, is he a beginner?
I’m
Not sure how much off-road experience he had,but was good to see all 5 discovery’s out together even though maybe the D5 lstruggled it still managed to do such a tight track suitable for a Jimny or vitara the D5 is such a huge machine! 🤣👌👌
The bloke in the D5 doesn't know how to drive it - and he has that much shit bolted on it's a wonder it didn't end up on its roof.
And the "spotter" giving him instructions hasn't got a clue.
There was a lot of weight on the D5! 3.1tonnes altogether! I think the trails was just to tight and steep for the big discovery??
Need to get the isuzu rodeo down there 🤔😉
Hi jack how are you mate?
Yes you’re more than welcome to join us! I think you should have ago going down spicy lane and back up what do you think??😁👌👌
Yea good mate thanks what about yourself ?I'll definitely take it up/down show ya how it's done 🤣I'm just waiting for you to host a pick up day down there 😉
@jacklongland9654 haha I’m really behind on all my events the classic event hasn’t happened yet normally in April but I’ll try and do a pick up truck event if not just come and meet us and we’ll take you to it!
@@ALL_4_WHEELS I'll see you beginning off Oct then when it's a bit wetter 💪😁😁😁
