Just curious folks, any benefits vs going with one vs the other when looking at an 00 or an 04?

Have not explored the RR in the detail that I have the Disco.. Similar issues? More or less reliable?

The plan for the vehicle is to be used as a weekend/camping/ light off road duty..

Thanks and Merry Xmas!!

 

I have heard the early L322 Range Rovers were known for transmission issues. The P38 Range Rovers are known for electrical gremlins and EAS problems. I would suggest the Disco.

 

I pondered that same imponderable myself... A 99 P38 or a 03 Disco II.

I am picking up my 03 Disco tomorrow.

I just don't like to the looks of the P38, so I would go for a Disco II or a 95 Range Rover.

 

I have owned both. The RR will have more issues. However since I sold mine I miss the looks. The discount own is now hideous and I want it back.
One thing I did notice is gearing was better for highway and it showed. I easily got 16-18mpg. 18mpg often

 

How could you not like.

 

That's a nice looking rig.. Both models have the same engine .. Correct?? What about the drive shaft issue? Is it the same as with a stock Disco?

 

Same engine but the RR was offered with the 4.6. I know it's just a feel but I felt the 99 RR 4.6 was just plain better than the 03-04 disco. I know it's somewhat stupid to say. The truck had 200,000 GREAT ACCELERATION and smooth idle. Never needed headgaskets.

As far as the driveshaft I did change the u joints in my 99. I DON'T remember seeing a double Cardan. So I would say it had the DI style.

When I did my u joints in my DII. That's something ill never forget.

 

What about the supercharged range rovers? Started in 06 right?

I was thinking the supercharged could tow better than the disco...then again probably be better off with a F250 at half the cost...just love how the range looks...

 

Also....don't see much activity on the range rover forums section...any problem i have with the disco I can find 100 other people that had the same issue and set by set instructions how to fix it...the range seems like your on your own....
