nothing wrong with a V8 if you have the money to run it....also the disco2 rots just as bad as the disco 1 the only thing with the 2 is more electrics to go wrong :y

with your problems getting into that one will be a problem as no side steps (£250 a set) and a 2 inch lift and so it may not get into a multi story

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Was thinking LPG  ;) So disco 1 will be the best option . What about the diesel , are they renown for reliability ? Seen a lot of high mileage ones  :)

you will always get a petrol with lower milage...as for LPG check the prices for V8...disco 300 tdi is the best out of the two no problems apart from rust and...check for timing belt change on a diesel as V8 is chain driven

Disco's are very prone to rot all over - areas particularly prone are the boot floor and the rear arches.  The sunroofs always leak (there are 2 of them) most of them will be sealed with sealant but still leak from the surround.

Have a look on Landyzone.co.uk and you will see a few of the common problems on there and there may be a buyers guide.

On that particular Disco in your link it looks like someone has modded it up to be a mud plugger so maybe view before you bid as it may have been battered round quarries and fields.  Wipers are not parked properly so could indicate electrical problems,

All that said - I have a 4.6 V8 Range Rover and love it to bits, bought it as a 3rd car but I always pick the keys up if popping into town, 12MPG is a bit frightening but that aside it's a great car.
