Now got 2
Will pick up the one owner 1995 Disco 1 tonight. Will drive it and see what else I find that is wrong with it.
BIG problem is the PO installed a kill switch to disconnect the battery from the fuse box because it killed the battery. THINKS it is the alternator but I really do not think so. Will put a VOM on it and see where it draws down to.
Need to get the books on it and will probably buy a 2nd one that was flipped for spares and finishing pieces.
Thanks for the insight into this.
PS Just bought another one a 1994 SE Disco 1 for a parts car, bad transfer case in it but ALL the trim is good
This is the parts car could not pass up for $950.00

As a previous 928 owner and now also a Discovery owner, I must say you have the same weaknesses I do for cool cars. Post some pics of the others also.
Good luck and have fun redoing the Discovery.

Never owned a porsche but i went from a bmw 540i to a scout and then the 95 disco as of a week ago. Fell in love with the thing but **** just fails. Im the type thats crawling around on the floor every night of the week tinkering looking for a rhyme or a reason. Granted mine has 188,900 mi. Tonight for example finished up the fluid change on the diffs and looked over the brakes take it out for a spin and the brake pedal goes to the floor. Gonna be crawling around tomorrow night to figure that out but hell im in love.

The one I drove home as 188,514 on it. The Parts one has 67,234. guess which one I will fix up? I have no idea since the parts has NO title and I am getting it from a shop that has had it for 2 years and the owner just walked away.
This is the other things that I go nuts CRAWLING under
Hess & Eisenhardt XJS V12 and the other is the "e" type 1971 V12.
I am selling my TJ Jeep that was a "TOAD" and will use the Disco as the frog if it can be used.
