Discovery 4 vs Malaysian jungle

We drop a travel writer and novice off-roader into the heart of a tropical rainforest in Malaysia, equipped only with a Land Rover Discovery 4, a camp bed, and a pair of trusty jungle boots. Thankfully the Rainforest Challenge is there to help.

[@rulthariuz]

As someone who used to work on Land Rover, there was rarely any problems with electronics. Most problems that we encountered were caused by people who didn't know what they were doing modifying the vehicle outside of the design parameters.

[@peanuts2105]

Such a brilliant car, country and people

[@SuomiFinlandPerkelee]

I've had a Disco 3 for 5 years by now and would swap it for nothing else but a Disco 4. It takes you wherever you need to go with comfort. On hunting trips I often drive for over 1000 km on asphalt and the rest 10-50 km off-road, and sure you could do the same with a series 3 but you wouldn't enjoy it as much. I've never had any issues with the electronics but I do agree it's impossible to fix a discovery on the road.

[@malang73]

Its a $80000 vehicle. If you don't mind deep scratches on the skin, it's yours. Make sure all electronics still function in 7 years and beyond.

[@davidhall3747]

It's Engineered to be the best All Terrain/ All Climate SUV in the 🌎, hence- why I own the LR 4.

[@pdonneky]

I'm a Discovery 3 Owner, id not want to be without my LR3 when its time to bug out, My LR3has taken me and my family all the way from England to Turkey 2500 miles each way and never missed a beat, we went through the Alps & Bulkan areas too, non stop area of old war torn areas, even refugees would not attempt to stop us or face getting smashed out the way or crushed by a 3 ton LR3 if they laid in the road, only non LR owners write untrue BS about them !

[@khmerempiretourarts2571]

That's great adventure, love nature and your trip

[@MidNightRyder1000]

Love Land Rover but I miss when they offered and fitted the Discovery with full on brush guard grills instead of this sort of eye-liner they slap on the lights :/

[@Blitz4000]

I rather take the Defender if going through the tropical jungle. The LR4 is less hardcore but still off-road worthy though.

[@dave111ish]

yuupp i know!! but my question is the land rover is better than the range rover?? in terms of quality!

[@vinniecent07]

Which is better, a toothbrush or a keyboard?

[@DanieleGardellin]

For all of us try a youtube search for Camel trophy videos.... Hahaha jeep, toyota, hahahaha ....rookies and beginners

[@bambanarni]

Daniele Gardellin camel trophy was Land Rover only from 1981 to 1998

[@Skypilot617]

Still don't think you'd want to risk 40k of luxury vehicle in such extreme off-road conditions - classic Defender would be much better!

[@matthewalford2762]

Toyota is epic in the jungle along with Jeep.

I mean yeah, when the land rover overheats and blows a head gasket how else are they gonna get out?

Tour also in eastern Indonesia, precisely in the province of North Maluku with sofifi urban village route to the east Halmahera buli .. thanks. Hopefully realized. Ami .. successful land Rover sport

[@patilsagar177]

I loved lend rover

[@martinmohr3538]

Too bad about the wheels/tyres on the modern range/discos. I wouldn't want to hit too many rocks with low profile tyres... The silver truck cab landy looks like a series 3 with Defender parts added. The cab is also extended.

[@chrismad1344]

I owned one LR4 let me tell you something is a badass well made SUV. Is like a tank 4x4 all terrain amazing machine!

[@JonDingle]

That's a fiar comment. However, as someone that has owned 46 Land Rover products over the last 25yrs from Series 2's, 3's, Lightweights, 90's, Td5 Defender's, Discovery Td5, 200, 300 & a 2003 Range Rover V8 Vogue I can alos speak of experience based upon ownership. Running these vehicles can be expensive & in some cases a matter of life or death. Electronics are fine, but should not be relied upon beyond a 3yr old motor for trustworthy service. Give me mechanical systems everyday of the week.

[@sdh653]

Thanks to the universe that will give it to me soon

[@mwaszm]

there's so much weed in that forest LoL

[@JonDingle]

I can see where your coming from but, in the event a sensor of some kind or another fails or as on the 2005 Discovery my brother owns you have to tell the computer that you have changed the rear brake pads otherwise the electronic handbrake doesn't work & other braking issues occur as a result. Electrickery only belongs on the domestic front!

[@infiniteuniverse1757]

It's a rainforest, there's no real environment called the "jungle".

[@JonDingle]

Great motor, costs a lot of money, has all the off road technology & should then be superior to any other off-roader. Yet at 2:50, we see an old Series 3 trundling along in support. It hasn't got airbag suspension, coils spring suspension, Terrain Response or any other fancy electronic tricks to rely on just good old Land Rover values! I know which one I would rather be in, the Series 3. Why? Because it doesn't rely on computer's & if it breaks down you can repair it!

[@dantesonofsparda4740]

I want that car but I don't have a lots some money to yourselfers can you waiting a moment

[@m92singh]

such bad and cheesy acting

[@Nerd537]

Oh i have in heres malaysia

[@JonDingle]

Hi, Sorry about that. It appears in the background at 2:49 and goes out of shot before a brief view again @ 2:50 & then it can be seen again @ 3:03. I can just make out the windscreen hinges which identifies it as a Series 3 & to be true anorak it also has a Deluxe bonnet!

[@ekowrichex]

No thought landrover is very capable off-road, the problems with it is tha fact that they are unreliable and when it breaks down in nowhere , it cannot be easily fixed. Broke down in a remote mining town in africa and had to stay there for three days and got fixed after getting mechanics from the main city thatb was 200km away and a bill of 2100us dollars. Believe me get a japanese suv, it breaks it can be fixed cheaply, and most mechanics can work on them.

[@Notoriouszyanga]

Visit Nepal "Land of Gurkhas. The Ultimate off road We'll see how landrover Survives

[@saphalagrawal7574]

Nepali here

[@a2dds]

I disagree with "there are less moving parts" the electronic systems are an addition to the already present essential mechanical systems. All that has changed is a computer using a list of preset arrangements for additional electronic devises on parts of the vehicle. For example the springs, the height can be controlled which is an additional move part and electronic system. If that is damaged in the field your expedition is over. With traditional springs you can be up and running in a few hours

[@muddyl200]

@Lillie1986 i didn't say it was rover, i said it was a rover company like vauxhall and opel are a gm company and Ferrari is a fiat company

[@nikos-giorgos]

2:31 Yeah, like that's ever gonna happen...

[@allyabdallah1342]

νικος γιώργος mnjk

[@jskelton1994]

Google IP67, very waterpoof is your answer! Every part of the disco electrical system is waterproofed to near IP67...

[@rulthariuz]

I honestly used to share your view on electronic systems, and whilst they do require more specialist knowledge to repair, they also have several distinct advantages over Mechanical systems. Firstly there are less moving parts to maintain, allowing a more efficient and effective control of vehicle systems in all operating conditions. The reason a lot of repairs are "expensive" on vehicles with electronic systems comes down to one thing: Training... Misdiagnosis is the #1 cause of expensive repair

[@Guenounovitch]

a classic range rover makes it better haha, that car is for "smart people" who likes nature but drive here one week per year. Before TATA land rover was amazing, i'll never forget my V8 vogue !

[@muddyl200]

@Lillie1986 Land Rover Was A rover company, i think it was split when ford bought it or before that when bmw bought them, but it was a car made and built by rover

[@santamon12]

Who is this guy? He's such a show off

[@ATRCyclesLtd]

It is far from a stock Series 3 mind, king cab, coil sprung with ARB lockers front and rear with a nice PTO sat up front. Serious bit of kit!

[@a2dds]

My thoughts exactly! Its just another thing to go wrong. The defender 90, slightly newer then the series 3 but still pretty much the same vehicle, has been classed as the worlds best off roader, I think its simplicity and the fact that it is reliant on nuts and bolts rather then electrics and buttons has helped to give it that title :)

[@pickthegreek1268]

Awesome. A rooftop tent would’ve topped it off. I love mine on my Disco 4!

[@victormanuelsasa1079]

Land Rover is the ultimate all-terrain

[@Antares_451]

My STOCK 3rd generation 4runner wouldn't have any problems either @ 1/3 the cost.

the river is from the show gap year (the setting even hotel)

[@jzy0104]

save your time going to the garage to have it repaired..buy a land cruiser

[@SwellChan]

how does one get this world class land rover treatment? lucky bugger...

[@juliansmith1965]

3 series at 2.50? I didn't see one. Rear wheel drive - lovely cars but a nightmare off road or in snow/

[@MrEricoucou]

@DingleZilla TRUE! like the old land cruiser are better then the new ones!

[@chrishosking27]

That is not proper off roading . my nan could do that in her Honda jazz

[@bwpospolyta]

That would actually be a cool vacation! They should maybe team up and hotel with range river and these guides and take people out on these trips!

Personally, I wouldn't pick a Land Rover as my expedition vehicle. Even though it might not break down, the unreliability would just haunt me. Sorry, LR.

[@YamUzu250]

Couldn't agree more ekowrichex and dominodancing on the general unreliability of the Land Rovers, whilst the Defender is still OK (up to a point)! "The Undisputed King of Offroad" Toyota Landcruiser (from 60 series, 70 series and the LC200 series twin e-VNT V8) are far more reliable, durable and capable for the long haul....

[@MrTLsnow]

Sometimes I feel that they are not addressing this issue.

[@jackfuller8960]

YamUzu250 This reliability issue is nothing more than an old stereotype. The disco 4 is a very reliable car, with brilliant off-road capability, whilst simultaneously being extremely comfortable. The land cruiser is
