Land Rover Discovery 3 TDV6
Land Rover Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Disco fever has hit and I thought I鈥檇 join the party by road testing Land Rover鈥檚 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE. I spend a lot of time on the road and see plenty of Discovery 3s (or D3s as they鈥檙e also known) and I鈥檝e always wondered why. After spending a week with Land Rover鈥檚 popular model, it became quite clear why it鈥檚 such a popular vehicle with the punters. The boxy design gets straight to the point, there are no swanky lines or curves to interrupt the vehicle鈥檚 main purpose - climbing big hills and trekking through muddy tracks. The Discovery 3 is very driveable. Although it weighs around 2.3-tonnes, the car feels quite agile and somewhat nimble. The turbo-diesel V6 gels nicely with the vehicle. Putting out 140kW and 440Nm of torque, the V6 oiler sends power through a 6-speed automatic gearbox, which is constantly in the right gear for optimal acceleration. Fuel consumption sits at a friendly 10.4-litres/100km, which is pretty good for a heavy 4WD like the D3. Land Rover Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Off-road is where the D3 is most at home.

This was epitomised by the limited edition 50th Anniversary Defender 90 from 1998 which was equipped with automatic transmission, air conditioning, roll-over protection cage and powered by the Range Rover 4.0-litre V8 engine. The Defender name was adopted in 1990 as a measure to distinguish the utility Land Rover model from the Discovery and Range Rover, which were moving rapidly up-market 鈥?especially in the US. Production of what is now referred to as the Defender began in 1983 as the Land Rover 110, a simple name which refers to the 110 inch (2794 mm) length of the wheelbase. The Land Rover 90, with 93 in (2362 mm) wheelbase, and Land Rover 127, with 127 in (3226 mm) wheelbase, soon followed. Defenders use coil springs on all four wheels, whereas Series vehicles had leaf springs. This gave a more comfortable ride when the vehicle was lightly laden and improved axle articulation to some degree.
The Land Rover LR4 (2011 model) has a connector for a USB memory stick. We planned on using one of the 16 GB sticks we ordered online to store some of our iTunes music library or mp3鈥檚. My husband loaded on some of his music in the form of mp3鈥檚 by dragging and dropping them into the USB stick mounted to his Mac. And most memory sticks sold are already FAT32 formatted. The mp3 songs placed in the Root Directory did not appear on the Land Rover display. He proceeded to make several folders with varying number of mp3鈥檚 in each folder. He found that he could organize the mp3鈥檚 in nested folders by Genre, Artist, Album, Songs - the Land Rover was able to access the files in the nested folders. The Land Rover display allows you to browse in each nested folder. So arranging in nested folders gives a little more organization in helping to find and play groups of songs. Suggestion: If you wish to make playlists - you could create a folder called for example: My Playlists. When the mp3 files are copied from a Mac to the USB memory stick additional files show up in the folders one for each mp3 song file and these additional files do not play on the Land Rover audio player.
