Like to tinker and tow stuff this truck/suv is for you. We love our 2002 Disco II...Off Road Awesomeness in no way not meant to be a daily drive. We knew that going in and bought it last week. This week I took it to a Rover specialist who replaced the fan belt and front o2 sensors, 400$. He knew we had a coolant leak somewhere. Got home and I found the leak. The thermostat. No biggie. There was a new one left in the truck. I replaced it in an hour. Should you get one, read the manual. Learn how to drive it. Learn to put liquids into it (they leak), change filters, change plugs and wires, thermostats and hose. Keep it maintained. Change all of the plastic hoses with rubber hoses and so on. Change out all of the original parts with OEM parts. Don't take it to a dealer take it to a Rover geek and pay less.

I have owned My Disco for almost 5 years now, Have to say I still look forward to driving it every day. I have put this Rover to the test off road and it surpasses any other 4x4 I have owned. These vehicles are particular and one should know it before you own one. There are quirks that come with ALL Rovers. I have spent money on mine over the 5 years, nothing too major other than a $3k ABS module(most common)-3 Amigos. Land Rover now sells a repair kit for around $100. I have always maintained my Disco very extensively and expect to continue, they are great in the sense that you can have anything repaired on them. If considering, make sure to get 00-02 Models- more reliable. Still love it!

I don't know what all the chatter about Rover's subpar reliability is all about. This is my second Discovery - my wife totalled the first at about 70 MPH (all passengers walked away) making replacement a simple choice. This has been an incredibly reliable vehicle, on road and off. Sure, some services (particularly brakes and tires) aren't cheap, but it is the most solid vehicle I have ever driven and I am willing to pay for quality. Not a squeak or rattle in over 70K fairly hard miles. Mine has survived Hurricanes Katrina & Rita in addition to several hard Colorado winters without a whimper. Fuel economy is suboptimal, I agree - as soon as Rover addresses that, I will gladly buy another.

This is my first Rover (a 2002 Disco w/104k miles) but many years ago I was a BMC mechanic, so I'm not unused to the way the English build things. My Disco had an over heated engine when I gave the seller $1000 for it. I located a good short block, did the heads and Bingo!, I have a serious off road truck. Of course "bingo" didn't happen. The thing was down for 6 weeks as I worked and educated myself on the bloody thing. They things are about the most demanding of patience of any care I have ever busted a knuckle on.
A sound buy.

I bought this truck with great expectations based on the reputation of Land Rover. I loved the style and luxury/utility aspect as well as winter driving. Only 2 years old and the radiator needed to be replaced then the manifold gasket, then the head gasket now the engine. 78,000 and the engine needs replacement. I have babied this thing spending thousands per year on maintenance and repair. This is a horrible vehicle to own and should fall under the lemon law. Don't be a sucker for a marketing strategy.

This was my second Discovery, and I am wondering why I bought another one. These are amazing vehicles with too many problems that can arise. Once it got close to 80,000 miles we started having problems. Oil leaks from valve covers. Power steering fluid leaks. Exhaust manifold leaks. Warning lights on the dash. Land Rovers are fun to drive, but not fun to own. Only buy if you can afford the problems. The average Land Rover repair is around 2,000 dollars.

A great 4WD vehicle, no excuses or apologies accompany this truck. Plenty of power on tap, build quality and fit and finish are excellent. Full time AWD/4WD systems takes to all driving surfaces without user input. My SD model has all the needed accesories such as dual digital climate control, electric seats, windows, and remote locks standard. I did add a towing hitch, which is standard on the SE. Very solid feeling during driving and manuevering, not at all sloppy. Rear seats fold easily to expand cargo room.

Solid truck, and this is a true truck with a solid ladder frame. The Disco II is built like a tank, and basically durable. ACE stinks. Loud squeaking and whining noise from ACE has caused 5 trips to the shop so far. Land Rover Dallas is very customer focused and very kind, but unable to repair the problem. Buy the Disco II WITHOUT ACE (Active Cornering Enhancement). ACE is a maintenance nightmare! I would buy another one, but no ACE.

I could not get used to the ergonomics. After owning the vehicle for less than a month, I sold it at a $3,500 loss. I am 6-2" and weigh 189 lbs. My right hip ached while driving, due to the highly angled side seat bolsters. This creates pressure on the side of your hips. The steering wheel rubbed against my right thigh, causing pressure on my knee when I pressed the brake. Once I hit both the brake and gas simultaneously. Not good ergonomics.It was fun to drive, though and looked great. I remember Billy Crystal on Saturday Night Live playing Fernando Lamas saying: "I would rather to look good than to feel good."

I've had my '02 Discovery II for four years and have put 40k miles on it - now has 124K. Very comfortable and great to travel in. Safe and secure in any kind of road conditions. Have used it as a truck on the farm - had it in mud up to the hubs and never took it out of AWD high. Great styling and a tough vehicle. Only mechanical issues were cam sensor, thermostat, window motor (just took one from a rear window) and purge valve sensor - none of which were expensive to fix.

I had always wanted a Land Rover (I am an outdoor wannabe!). I still would like a Defender. This truck is all I expected. It looks good and is made with typical British workmanship, put together well with parts that always seem to be a bit inferior. I used to have a Jaguar and it was the same. My only big complaint is that the brake and accelerator are too close together. I am now used to it, but anyone who uses the car fresh could be in dangerous territory. My wife let her mother drive it a short distance. She hit the brake and accelerator at the same time (with the same foot) and ran over a mini-van and a handicapped sign! Fortunately, no one was injured. I love it!

If you want class and like to have a vehical that you can rely upon at anytime, anywhere, then the Discovery II is the car for you. It also stands out from the rest and is a real eye catcher, it is perhaps built in England, but by Scottis Engineers and designers. Go buy one, and think of us Scots, who made this dream happen !!

This vehicle has proved itself to be outstanding in battling our harsh Canadian winters. The Permanent 4WD, traction control, SLS, is by far the best system we have had on any of our prior 4WD vehicles. The vehicle is not top heavy, and the ACE system is amazing. Body roll is virtually non- existent. The cabin is airy, and the ergonomics are generally well placed and easy to use. The driver seating position and vision is excellent, and the rear stadium seating is a nice feature. Reliability has been outstanding (Our LR has almost 75K and hasn't skipped a beat). We like our 2000 Disco so much, I just bought a second 2002 SEII for my wife.
AWESOME truck!! I love my Disco II

I bought it my 02 Disco in 2006 and have now owned it for almost 5 years. A lot of people complain about the repair and fuel costs on this car, and they can be high. To own one, you really have to know how to work on it, or have a very trustworthy mechanic. Luckily, I have both! The car is unbelievable off-road -- just last month, I towed a 6000 lb trailer filled with construction materials through a quarter mile of Mississippi mud... no problem. This thing is a tank and unlike any other car on the road. I have had a few repairs, but mostly normal things (window regs, radiator, coil packs) - still need to fix "3-Amigos" ... all in all, I don't care about the cost, this thing is the best!

I have always wanted an LR. I have driven BMW, VOLVO, and domestic. I have not had this much fun and excitement about driving in a very long time. With some minor mods (ie) K&n air filter, you will see an increase in fuel efficiency. I swear!!! Also, I have become more outdoorsy and have developed a slight British accent, just kidding! I love this vehicle!!!

This is by far the best SUV that I have owned. I went from a 2000 Montero to the 2002 Disco and have had zero regret with my decision. The Discovery feels so much more solid which translates to it feeling safer as well. It is fun to drive on a regular basis and amazing to drive on off-road. The only other SUV I would buy over this is the Land Rover Range Rover.

I wanted a Land rover Discovery since I first was one but had to wait until I could buy it at the right price. Thanks to high gas prices my time arrived. Very nice ride for a truck. This is not a sissy SUV, but one that will go almost anywhere. Parts are a bit pricey, but if you show e-bay you can find deals and new and used items.

We've owned several cars both new and used and have never wanted to return one until now. The Discovery looks great (that's why we bought it) but drives terrible. The transmission is extremely clunky, it feels like it's going to fall to the ground. At 70mph an annoying whistle takes over your sanity. Dealer says "it's normal". Normal for who? Never had that problem with my Geo! It's very uncomfortable and is hard to get in and out of, especially in the back. Did I mention all the annoying noises? Never again! Only buy it if you're going to STAY offroad. It's a substandard 40k vehicle.

This was one of the nicest vehicles I have ever owned, but unfortunately, the maintenance is outrageous. After spending some serious cash fixing little things I returned to a North American truck. I miss it, but not the cost. Hopefully the LR3 will make up for the Disco.

Landrover replaced the engine twice in my SE within the 1st 28,000 miles. The oil pan dropped out on a separate occasion, the driver side door window dropped into the window well in DECEMBER (a chilly ride to the dealership to get it fixed). Landrover tells me there's nothing wrong with the car since they are able to repair the problems. Problem is, I dont like being in the dealer ship every couple of months. Very dissapointing. I will NEVER buy another one.

With our two year anniversary coming up soon, it was time for a review. Absolutely love the Disco, wouldn't trade it for anything else. Yes it has had some minor problems, AC hose, leaky T-case, U-joints, brake check engine lights and a stuck T-case. None too serious but the stuck t-case was a pain, but I was able to repair myself. Replacement parts are usually dealer only, which are heavy on the wallet but I'll survive. Mileage is approx. 14 mpg in the AZ heat with a 3' lift and 265/75 16's. Everyone talks about reliability, but almost all trucks are the same. They give back to you as much as you give them. Rover On
My Disco is a great truck

I've owned and driven 4x4's for 20 years all over this country and Mexico, and my Discovery is GREAT. It's a 2002 LR Disco 2. I have a 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser which I bought new (and I still love) and the Rover is actually better off- road the Cruiser. I'll never sell either of them. I know some people have had difficulty with LR but my experience is nothing but positive. Hope this helps.

To call Land Rover a SUV is not giving justice to these trucks! I always wanted one and took the plunge just recently on a 02 all black with new tires, this is going to be my winter vehicle and I’m driving it back and forth to work 30 miles each way, I knew going in these are a gamble and read all the horror stories but I never drove anything like it, sturdy smooth powerful and luxurious all on the most capable 4 wheel system on earth, fun to drive in every situation, all I can suggest is buy one that someone else just did all the maintenance on it if possible and don’t pick over this vehicle just drive it and be amazed.

We test drove the Mercedes ML, BMW X5, Acura MDX and Lexus RX before driving the Disco. Once we test drove it, my wife wanted only that! Great car, excellent reliability and great off roading. Prior car was a Grand Cherokee Limited that was a nightmare. We made a huge step up without spending much more. Owned it now for 2 years and no problems at all. Just wish I could drive it more!

This vehicle is said to be a go anywhere vehicle. Lately it has been a go to the service department. Three times in the last 6 months. Bring back the Defender the discovery has too many bells and whistles therefore more components to break.

I just traded in my Grand Cherokee for the Discovery. If you want a "wannabe" SUV, get a Jeep (Do not believe their ads-Jeep version of 4X4 means that the wheel with least/no traction gets all the power and spins while others stay put---calling Discovery to the rescue) or a Ford. If you want a real SUV that performs well in the City but can take you places where others are afraid to go, Discovery is a must have. Unique looks are an added bonus.

This is the 2nd LR I have owned. I am a used car dealer and I drive every type of suv and car out there and this is still the best. This truck has awsome offroad cap. The engine is builitproof (30yr old gm design)If you don't need an suv please don't buy one. Trucks like the rav4 crv pointless. If it snows you can get a car with traction control and do just fine and save alot of fuel and money or get over yourself and get a minivan or a wagon if you need the space. But if you love the great outdoors and need a real Truck you must get a land rover of any type or year the best 4x4xfar!

The Land Rover makes one thing only- SUV's. Unlike other SUV's, it is built with the frame, body, and suspension that makes you feel like you are in a sturdy machine. It does not drive like a boat, but instead has a suspension that hugs the road tightly. Every few months the Land Rover company sponsers off road events, that let owners really go out and learn what off road driving is about. So, for those who plan to drive in the city, stick with the normal, generic SUV's. But, if you want an SUV that will truly go anywhere, anytime, then the Land Rover is for you.

Great off road capabilities. Better transmission than the first series. Don't buy if you want a truck with car-like performance. Buy if you want off-roading and being up high. Love the openness. Dealership is the best I've ever worked with.

The interior design is great for a couple of adults (front seats) and a couple of pre-teen kids (rear seat). If you have to put a child seat in a rear facing or reclined position in the back, you have to move the front passenger seat forward and any adult will be VERY uncomfortable. If you need to fold the rear seats to use the vehicles cargo capacity, you will have to move BOTH front seats forward. Unless you are really tiny, you will NOT fit in the driver's seat... so much for "cargo capacity" The service is the worst we experienced (and we owned many vehicles ranging fron economy to luxury class). We service our's at Land Rover Encino and thanks to them we wish we didn't have this car

i researched and i i realized that the best year for the discovery was 2002, so i bought a 2002 with only 78.000 miles ( i paid ofcourse extra money for the low miles $ 9000.- for the truck.....) this was in 2011, after 4 months of using the truck and being actually happy, one day a bunch off lights turned on! so i took it to the dealership ( and also my trusted mechanic), so here it goes!!!::: ito repair the truck the cost was $ 11.250.- YES, YOU READ WRITE , ELEVEN THOUSANDS DOLLARS AND SOME CHANGE!!!!!, to make the history short, i lost the truck ( i couldnt paid for the repair and i didnt passed inspecion ( ofcourse) and i also have a REPO ON MY CREDIT REPORT, so i m just trying to help

this is definately a head turner and quite possibly the best looking vehicle of all the suv's. That's where it ends the interior space is not friendly for even the smallest of people. All the instruments are so ergonomically poor, you have to be a contortionist just to reach the door handle. the car has no power to speak of and whines more than a school girl when you start it up. I think its the a.c. but can't be sure. The only thing i know for sure is that the english should stick to tea and crumpets and leave the car building to japan and germany.

handling of this was good, Traction was excellent, Power was poor, Service from the MFG was unresponsive. Make sure that if you are towing that the Dealer hooks up a wiring harness. If you get any check engine lights make sure you get the codes and find out what they are. The Factory made me come back 6 times to replace the intake manifold, and over a month to fix the CD player. Every time you get in and start the unit you are reminded of the terrible placement of the ignition Key. Just could not wait to pay $80.00 dollars US for a pair of wiper Blades, the Dealer comment was that they are good wiper blades! I dont mind paying more for quality, but this is an insult

I would rate it as an excellent vehicle with some faults. The Disco provides a very comfortable, smooth, stable ride. It corners well and I did not find any major quality issues with it as far as materials, paint, assembly. I rate the overall driving experience of the Disco above the Ford Bronco, Ford Explorer, Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Toyota Tundra.

For those who is considering buying this cehicle, or those who have purchased/leased this vehicle and complaining about difficulty getting into the rear seats - GET A CLUE!!! THIS CAR IS THE EPITOME OF A "SPORTS UTILITY VEHICLE". A simple suggestion to you all; Take this car to your nearest dirt road / construction site / ANYWHERE off the road, and GO!!!!!!!!!! After you COME OUT of the nowhere land with the now-there-is-a-path behind you, then you'd UNDERSTAND. (No, I am NOT a hunt-and-kill outdoorsy type either). GET IT???

Went from a suburban to the discovery, love it for scooting about town. Bought it used and am scared of the 60,000 mile well-baby check up cost at the dealer. Otherwise love it and won't let my husband take it off- roading just yet, still my baby, but have no fear about it's 4x4ing capabiities.

Look out!! I succumbed to the "allure" of a DII and received one with only seven cylinders. Not only that but the dealer tried to deny it had a problem. They did finally "fess up" but then had to threatened by my attorney to rerturn my $5,000 down payment. A new vehicle was offered but I try to only be bitten once by the same DOG. I am fifty and have had many vehicles but never an experiece like this one.

First of all, I feel futurebeachbum review hit it on the nose. This is a great truck. I got it on 9/2000. The truck just has presents. It demands attention even from the big higher end SUVs. The power is just fine. Its an SUV why would you want 500 horses? I do have some complaits. If you are 6'4 like myself, you will not like the leg room. I must admit long rides can be unconfortable. The cup holders suck. Everything else is just fine.

Just took delivery of a SE model, Westminster edition with the Harman Kardon audio/navigation system(way cool), added brush bar, Hella 3000 driving lights & rear ladder. Did a lot of research and it came down to this. This vehicle has character...in spades! There are SUV's that are more sophisticated, more powerful, better riding, better ergonomically, and get better gas mileage. But most of them are extremely boring with an identity crisis, is it a car, a mini van, or an off road vehicle? The Discovery is unique in it's design and character. Yes it's quirky in some ways, but that's part of the charm. It's also solid, fun to drive and knows exactly what it is...a Land Rover.

I have owned three different types of SUVs over the past 4 years and I can honestly say that no one comes close to Land Rover. From the appearance to the sold feel, this is vehicle turns heads. I purchased my wife this vehicle with some hesitation since I was happy with my Isuzu Trooper. From the moment I took it off the lot I could tell that I was driving the "leader" in SUVs. Since I live in Colorado the winters are harsh however, my Disco has performed like a champ in both deep snow and ice. I really feel a sense of security owning this vehicle and feel safe that my wife has a very capable vehicle.
LR Disco ll is the best in it's class!

This new sexy SUV is invigorating to drive. The off-road capabilities are end-less, yet on the road or hopping around town it rides like a luxury car. The comfort level is amazing! When I drive, I feel like I am flying in first- class. It is a great road-car. When my family drives to Vermont every year, the car is greta to have in the snow. The looks of the Disco ll are spectacular. This review can go on and on about how good the Land Rover Discover Series 2.
Great Car

My third year and I must say I love it. I do, however believe it is a car that I would only lease with free scheduled maintenences. I could not imagine the expense and upkeep if I owned one. Fun to drive. Kids love it, too. I feel like I could drive right up a mountain. My mother hates trying to get in and out of it. Basically it is a rugged luxury toy with a cute high top tennis shoe body. Given all the above, I am still off to lease my second one!
No fun

This is definitely a vehicle that you would want to use off road. And, if you have any adults over 5'8" tall or 180 pounds, you can forget them getting into the back seat with any ease.
