RRS & Disco 4

Been told a 2010 RRS is practically the same as a 2011 Disco 4 with respect to mechanics and electrics, is this right?

Thanks

Hence why there's loads of off-roading bits for Discos but not so many for RRS's. Some have said that due to shorter length, an RRS is better suited to off-road than a Disco - but try telling that to a Disco owner Rolling with laughter

They're actually remarkably similar in size. The big difference is in the wheelbase which is 5 inches longer in the Disco, but the Disco is less than 2 inches overall longer than the RRS. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Most farmers don't "off road" though, in the sense of needing the ultimate ability of the vehicle. Most just need a 4x4 that can have crap thrown in the back and drive across fields/along tracks. The 90 was great for that. Where bigger loads are required, the Japanese pickups are a much better bet than a 110 would be. Hence the 90 was the farmer's choice over the 110. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
