Great Truck, but there are some quirks

Be ready to replaced the head gasket if you plan on buying any Discovery! The manufacturer seal is bad and they always leak. Expect to pay 1200-2000 or have the dealership do it as condition of the sale. The radiator hoses are also prone to failure...not a big deal but Land Rover will charge you $600 to replace them. Other than that its a beautiful vehicle. I love the height, I love the style and love the way it makes me feel British or on safari in Africa. And lets face it that the reason you're looking at one in the first place...you like the image!
The Ultimate in Off Road

I list this vehicle as my all time favorite of the cars I've owned. I never considered myself as an off-road enthusiast until I purchased a Discover. Rock solid off road and even more safe on the highway. Rock solid in heavy rain at 70 mph. Highly recommended as a must own vehicle.

I absolutely love my Disco 2...in the way that an abused spouse loves their partner. It leaks water, the a/c stinks, sucks fuel like nothing I have ever seen, non-vital parts and sensors are constantly having to be fixed, replaced or reset, and now the plastic snap on bits are falling off (bumper covers and roof trim). All of this, and I never want to get rid of it! It will go absolutely anywhere and it looks great! You just have to know what is going on with the vehicle at all times, and get to know an honest L/R mechanic....and get a 'repair you Rover' savings account. Honestly, it has never not started or left me stranded. It's mostly the sensors that fail for me, not the parts.
Good car

I've owned this car for three years and have had almost no problems whatsoever. For an SUV the ride is fairly good. I still like the styling-- very cool. Only problems are gas mileage and height-- very difficult to get a little person in and out. I will admit that once you climb into the car (literally), the view from up there is great!
Don't walk ... run away from it!

There are very good reasons why this car has depreciated as much as it has. It's designed badly and is unreliable. Seriously, this car has been nothing but a headache to own for the past four years that I've had it. I couldn't be happier to have parted with it. Put just 20,000 miles in four years, and the list of things I had to fix and replace in that time is as long as my, well, you know.
