you gotta be careful out there,
Christmas Eve afternoon, I went to fill up "just in case" On the way home with wife and dog, travelling around 45/50 in a 60 zone with relatively dry road, a gentleman in a small citroen type hatchback, all the family on board, decided to pull out in front of me.......I couldnt stop .... locked up one wheel...caerns braking I managed to steer around him...into on-coming traffic (fortunately enough room for three lanes @ that point). If I had hit him his family would have been wiped out in on blow...... The prat just drove off as if nothing had happened...... What have I told you about Thinking Erroll??
An unfair test too as the Disco is a 20yr old design and the Renault about 5 yrs old and benefitting in the design improvements in that time.
However for the disco also read Fronty which is a similar age design. So if some clown in a Renault Espace has a go at you, head for the off road option Mike
Don't knock the discovery.
I was involved in a crash as a passanger in a disco, I was asleep in the passanger seat and the driver decided to fall asleep at the wheel and ploughed into the back of a NFT distribution truck at around 80mph. The inpact sliced the roof off from the front to the back. Peeled off like and orange skin. All I got was glass in my ear, a bruised pelvis, and few cracked ribs and dirty brown stains in my pants. When the police arrived I was giving a statement when the sergent insisted how lucky I was and if it had been any other vehicle, speaking with 20 years service, they would of been picking my head up from the carrage way. So if it was'nt for a 1997 Landrover Disco I would'nt be here now.
You think the fronteras bad, check out the chinesse fronteras they're called landwinds, and watch them crumble.
Also another thing to think about is when you scrap bumper and fit a winch bumper or some thing solid like that your removing you crumple zone and its the chassis rails that will get stuffed backward into the cab.
I think with the big smashes there are a million other factors that dictade the outcome
The biggest one being luck But I know and feel that for the avereage shunt, then the Frontera offers good honest protection Tiddles (ex recovery truck driver) What happens, happens. What doesn't happen is not meant to

My neighbour used to own a Disco and was hit head on by a people carrier, the people carrier actually ended up underneath the Disco. Both cars were written off
Owner of 'Maisey Daisey' aka Frontera LWB 2.2DTLi! Model year 2000.
Watch this, slow motion car crashes but the films not been slowed down
