maybe returning, but first new question
for those of you who remember me, hello, for those who dont, i had a 95 disco, went from some minor repairs to wtf in about 2 years, am mechanically inclined and did most of the work on my truck, then just constant grind of,"cant open rear hatch", to,"gurgling when i start up", well have the car of my dreams,02 x-type jaguar sport, and am blessed with a few extra dollars, approx,$4k, what rover product would you buy for a second vehicle, and why, then maybe my decision will be easier. Thanks, Bill

Read through this.
But for $4,000 you will be looking at '98-'99 DI's in good shape or '99-'01 DII's in not so good shape.
As far as Range Rovers go, you will be looking at late '90's in not good shape.

You can not go wrong with a Disco I,, Locking transfer case no, 3 amigos
The biggest thing is use dielectric grease on all the electric plugs.
It will most likely need a little work ,, drive and make sure that the transfer case
works,,,,,,,,,have fun.

I would go for a 99/2000 D2. You can still lock the x-fer case like a D1, but you get all of the goodies. That said, you may have to contend with the 3 amigo's at some point. I love my 97, but I am working furiously to drop a 4.6 in a 2000. I drove it for a couple of weeks and was thinking of buying it, and he popped a radiator hose in traffic and didn't shut it off. I got it for $2K instead of $6K. Anyway, point is, I liked the D2's ride. Took it on a few light trails and it handled just fine. Kinda like the traction control too. He always smoked me in the snow. Main drawback of the D2 is the 3 amigo's and the extended trunk for offroad. In town, I like the extra cargo...
