Obviously everyone on here has or has had a Disco at some point. So what i would like to get out this thread is to know why you bought or traded for or how ever you got your Disco. And maybe how many youve owned over the yrs thanks!

 

I got mine because of the ride comfort it provides on city roads and its luxury inside and good looks on the outside while at the same time providing mean off road trail crushing features And it's different then most SUVs.

 

SWMBO wanted it. They were very trendy here at the time. It was her daily driver for 6 1/2 years. I shrugged and said yes ma'am, but told her at the time that if we bought it I might never sell it. So far I'm right. All the wrenching it's brought me has taken me back to my farm boy roots.

 

Each picture/video speaks for itself - Why I purchased my D2

EDIT: Cant upload pics - DUMB!

 

Started off with a 94 1/2 Disco 1 back in 05. Loved it. Leaked oil,rode terrible, always needed something. But it was something unique that my friends didnt have. Bought it for 2800, drove it a year sold it for 2800. Got my second one a few years later. A 96 SE7. Drove it til 211k miles and a blown head gasket. Had a 97 se7 i bought for parts needed some work but neer a driver. Went a few years had a Lexus,Volvo,Audi...but really missed the Rovers. Decided i wanted one. Did some looking and found a 03 with 66k. Im looking forward to wrenching it a little and having a unique off road wagon thatll get some looks on the trail

 

Why do people refer to the D1 as 1/2? Your the second member on this forum to refer to their Disco series 1 as a "Disco 1 1/2". Care to fill me in? And while we are on the subject.... I think it would be badass to have a Jurassic Park Edition Disco!!!!

Reasons why I purchased a D2? Started out as a cosmetic obsession. Absolutely loved how they redesigned the late 03-04 Disco. The new pocketed headlamps, the thicker roof rails, newly designed front bumper and front fog lights, new rear tail light design, Black Leather interior option etc. Than I learned about the new innovations added: Active cornering enhancement system, the re-introduction of the Differential locker, Hill descent control, automatic traction control, Self leveling suspension, the other improvements made to the handling, improved suspension, larger front windshield etc the list goes on. Worked my *** off and waited afew years until finally I found the right 2004 Discovery SE! My only complaint aside from typical mechanical issues is that my Disco does not have the ACE system "YET!".

 

Really? Where is it larger? Did they make the roof different in front for a taller windsheild? I never noticed it before.

 

I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

 

I got mine for all the reasons you all did...its great on gas...oh wait no...they are very reliable... not that either...cheap to maintain... hmmm wrong again...I got mine because even with all its faults its still a great truck/SUV. I feel safe with my girlfriend in it or driving it and feel safe with the baby in the back. I'll always have one in my driveway no matter what else I own.
