Amazing truck to own and drive. I love mine. They are fix trucks tho. Every month something will go! If you baby her she will baby you. If you beat on it, it will beat of you! Make sure you know a good shop NOT A DEALER! Stick with a Discovery 2 2000 or above. I have a 1999 and computers are a problem. Over all they are a good truck and will get you out of trouble when the roads are at there end. I WOULD TAKE A LAND ROVER OVER A HUMMER H1 ANYDAY! Just be careful with the buy make sure it has been maintained and had a good owner and you will be fine.
FIRST AND LAST LAND ROVER.
SAVE YOUR MONEY. This piece of british crap will cost you your life savings to keep on the road IT IS A GAS GUZZLING MONEY PIT WITH A CRAP ENGINE.

Discovery II
The truck performs off road as you would expect a Land Rover to do. It went up and over things easily that I had not been able to negotiate without difficulty in other vehicles. It's a lot of fun to drive. On the other hand, it's been in the shop 22 times for warranty repairs. I got one of the first Discovery II's off of the assembly line which was probably the problem.
Best 4X4Xfar
Best car I have ever owned. Best 4X4 offroad performance and confortable to drive to work and on trips with kids. No troubles at all. Check engine light goes off every 10-20K miles; just indicates the injectors need cleaning. Service is expensive at the dealer, but at a private garage no more expensive than any other car. Brake jobs are costly but last a long time. I would certainly buy another, but I can't bear to part with this one.
The dealer is the worst part
The car is a finnicky and unpredictable machine. It can be a real treat to drive. Gas mileage sucks, especially with the current gas prices. It costs me almost $50 to fill 'er up. Since I bought my LR two years ago, had some problems, like water leaks into the cabin, the power seat works intermittently, muffler rattled (dealer replaced it under warranty), and the darn CHECK ENGINE LIGHT goes off way too much (dealer has to reset the light).The biggest problem though is THE DEALERSHIP. They're pretty pushy about maintenance, and everything costs WAY TOO MUCH to fix. They wanted $600 just to change my spark plug wires! If you can do light auto work, do the jobs yourself to save a few bucks!
