A love/hate relationship
I absolutely loved my Discovery at first (purchased new in '99) - it's a joy to drive, looks great, and can go anywhere. Too bad it requires service every 2-3 months and breaks down frequently. I've been stranded 4 times - towed to the dealership 3 times, the 4th time it couldn't be towed because I was in the middle of a desert and I had to fix it myself. Last year, the paint started peeling and the dealership blamed me! It had been repainted before being sold to me, but I was unable to prove it. Be careful...
Money Pit!!
I bought this vehicle over a year ago and thought I would be purchasing a "solid,reliable vehicle." Boy, wish I would have researched more!This suv has cost me more than $ 4000 since I bought it! Water pump replaced after 2 weeks of ownership, always leaks, radiator, oils leaks, constant rattles, engine light goes on, total nightmare and expense to repair!! Looks beautiful on the outside, always wondering what will happen next!!

Always a breakdown waiting to happen.
I loved this vehicle when I first bought it. After about 30,000 miles, I had to have both sunroofs fixed twice, the power steering pump was replaced 3 times, the engine leaked oil, the radiator leaked water, it was just a total mess. Everytime it rained, the headliner got wet. Turned out that the top of the truck had to get re- welded. I would definitely not recommend this truck. You are always left wondering what is going to break next, the abs light started flickering on and off, the check engine, and engine oil lights would come on and off. A total nightmare, thank god I have sold it and now it is somebody elses problem.
1999 Disco II
Great vehicle. No complaints. Understand what you're buying and you'll be happy with your purchase. The vehicle is complex, and designed for serious offroad use. If you want to buy a vehicle that will run 100k miles and never visit the shop, buy a Honda. If you want a vehicle that will run 100k and visit the shop once a year, buy a Land Rover, then take comfort in the fact that you can go places no passenger car, and 98% of all other SUV's, could never go.\ "SUV owners feel free. Land Rover owners ARE free."
Not bad AWD
I've enjoyed the car only dealer cost are high
