Nigella the Discovery2 is past her best and is to be pensioned off at Easter.

I am not a Kia Sorento person (that's certainly where the smart money goes) so am looking to buy another luxury 4x4. The current short list is: Audi Q7, Range Rover TDV6/V8 (not sport), Discovery 4 TD, Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes ML or GL. All diesels....

This is not just a weekend tow-car, but a luxury hold-all, skip-wagon, business taxi, etc. It will have to do roughly 15/20K miles a year with 5K miles a year towing around europe.

I've run a Disco TD5 for the last 3 years, a Disco 300TDi for the 3 years before and a RangeRover V8 in the distance past.

What are your experiences of the above with regards to reliability in particular?
