Land Rover Discovery for towing, yay or nay?

I have a td5 millienium addition and I absolutely love it :D Unfortunately it will I think be up for sale this year due to hubby building a 3.5t horsebox .

We have also had a 300tdi series, basically the 300 series is alot less bulky and lighter than the td5, the 300 was fab for towing also, both have been great, we just wanted an upgrade as it would be the main car we wanted something that looked slightly better, and the td5 is definitely lot more luxurious ie full leather, heated seats and all the extras .

Our 300 series pulled out a navara that was stuck in a muddy field .....I kid you not, it was stuck in thick mud and would not budge, our 300 didn't even track the field and pulled out the navara with not a hint of bother ;) .

Both are great for towing and wouldn't tow with anything else . :)

I shall go have a peek at landyzone....

I have been discussing what to get with friend at the yard and she suggested a discovery (she has a freelander) but I wanted to check because they never seem to be mentioned here! Clearly people are uber happy with them and I think getting one would be perfect for me. Means I'm going to have to take my trailer test but hey ho, then I've got it for life hehe.

Now to keep my eyes peeled for one...
 
up until recently I would have said yes to a disco for towing.... But, having now towed with the Fourtrak, I'd now say no to the disco, its not nearly as stable or powerful as the fourtrak, and much more inclined to rust to bits. Problem is they aren't making the fourtrak any more.
