More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Introduced in early in 1989 in the campaign to repel the Japanese 4x4 invasion, the Discovery opened up a whole new market for Land Rover, creating its own niche halfway between the traditional rough-and-ready Land Rover off-roader and the upmarket Range Rover cruiser. Its reputation as a rugged workhorse both on- and off-road had ensured that the Discovery has remained one of the world's best-selling 4x4 vehicles since its introduction. Designed to appeal to all Discovery owners and enthusiasts, this text explores how the car came about; how it became a success; how to go off-roading legally and safely; how to buy, maintain and modify a Discovery; and specifications for all models.

Good but .., 31 Dec 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: You and Your Land Rover Discovery: Buying, Enjoying, Maintaining, Modifying (You & Your) (Hardcover)
..the Modifications section is a bit weak, consequently a little disappointing for the off road enthusiast. Not surprisingly, geared primarily towards the U.K. owner of Series 1 vehicles.Good overview of the vehicle and what to expect.

A excellent history lesson on Land Rover and the Discovery, 23 Dec 2011
By Dodger - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: You and Your Land Rover Discovery: Buying, Enjoying, Maintaining, Modifying (You & Your) (Hardcover)
I bought this book because I wanted to learn more about my Land Rover Discovery. The book covers the Discovery from Concept to the Series 2 model. It is mainly targeted to the British market since it references the auto purchasing process in England as well as LPG conversions. I would say this book is more of a history lesson than a maintenance guide. It does however list known issues and common problems with the Discovery. If you are in the market for an older Discovery this book would be helpful for the inspection of a used Disco prior to purchase. The book is full color and hard backed, a very nice looking book for the coffee table. Plus now I have many more useless facts about my Discovery to bore my wife with!
Listmania!
