2004 Disco - Pros & Cons
ok guys, I have a 1995 disco which i'm fond of but don't like the distributor type ignition. Would rather have a newer model with coil packs and CPS due to better handling of moisture and such...less chance timing will be obscured as its pretty enclosed and ecu isn't in engine bay. there are other likes and dislikes as well but.....
I'm considering buying a 2004 as it has the CDL(i wouldn't own a landy without the CDL). What are the pros and cons on the 2004 model??? Are they all air ride suspension(not a pro)???? Any cons i should know about before I consider taking this further????????????

Expeditions West state "2004 Discovery has CDL as factory option"????

What models, SE, SE7...etc... have this "factory option" already installed or are all 2004's capable of installing the linkage? As I stated before I won't own a disco without the CDL.

I do not see any cons to the 04. Some have started a rumor about oil pump failures, but I don't think they were any more prevalent than earlier years. My 97 had a failure at 50K, and I think it happed, but there were just so many trucks people didn't really notice. After the 03 scare, people notice every single one.

I agree with you Cam, but there are a few that are on here saying the 04's have pump failures. They are all people with 03's that have blown and no reports from people with 04's that I have heard. Just a lot of people with no 1st hand knowledge posting about things they don't know about. I just wanted to clear it up becasue people keep posting it.
Kinda like people posting that removing the dowels is a fix. Still haven't heard about it working. Just people randomly posting what they have heard...

Fun fact: The 2003 Engine was never even installed on 2004 Discos, so any issue would be completely unrelated..
