A BUSY MONTH HAS THE DISCO EARNING ITS KEEP.

RETURNING from a 4000km return trip from Melbourne to Brisbane the previous month, the Disco’s duties were honed towards city and suburban life. By no means does that mean we took it easy on the big Brit; quite the opposite, actually. Instead, we borrowed a tow ball and hitch from a mate and the black Disco played tow rig to a single-tandem trailer, ferrying tonnes of junk to the local tip. With a 3500kg towing capacity, the Disco’s 177kW and 430Nm made mince-meat of the load.
In the March issue of 4X4 Australia, Matt mentioned the Disco’s non-existent low-speed throttle response: “Squeeze the pedal lightly and there’s nothing there,” he said. Slowly backing the trailer up to the ‘dump-site’ exaggerated this issue, as touching the pedal to slowly usher the rig back a few metres proved to be difficult. The aftermarket should sort out this calibration issue, though.
Boot space is ample, too, with more than 2400 liters behind the front seats and 1137 litres behind the second seats. We managed to store a pair of 2.7m lengths of timber within the vehicle, sliding them between the front seats.
