I am running a nissan x trail at present and a friend is getting rid of his Lr disco td5 and i have first shout on it, i have used it before and like the drive but what is worrying me is the running costs,what mpg should i expect towing a 1300kg van also does it fall into the higher road tax bracket,my heart is saying buy it but head is over ruling my decision what say you? ta Andrew.

Hi,
I hada Series 2 LR Discovery with the TD5b engine. It was an excellent towcar, but at 3 yaers old it had to go as I could not bear the thought of owning it without the support of the LR warranty. In 4 yaers my Sorento has not had a thing go wrong.
Cheers

The higher road tax only applies to new vehicles or those registered ithink from April 2006 so if older than this it will be exempt
23rd March 2006 (to be precise) was the registration date appicable for the over 225 g/km CO2 band.
