Default Convince me to keep my Disco...

I can't seem to stay ahead of the maintenance (and fuel) costs of my Disco II. I love it in many ways, but I'm weakening in my resolve.

It's actually running great right now, and its performance and appearance has actually improved since my small front-end collision.

I'm more interested in on road/off road comparisons, technical differences, etc. I'm tempted by the FJ's reliability, better mileage, lower maintenance costs with still decent off road abilities.

Argh! Can't get these posts to work! Trying to split between multiple posts, unsuccessfully.

How many miles on it? So is your maintenance up to date now? I there anything you still need to do in the near future? How many miles a week do you put on it?

Three windshield wipers? Really? Have you been to a Toy forum?

Did you delete all your old files, history, cookies, etc... in the internet options? I think it said that should help.

Deleted cookies, etc. Hope that helps. Although my post was garbled, I'm obviously looking at the new Toyota FJs...

I love my Disco...No need to go into the LR heritage and good looksI'm sold on that. I am interested in on road/off road comparisons, technical differences, etc. I'm tempted by the FJ's reliability, better mileage, lower maintenance costs with still decent off road abilities.
