Spike I think the best thing to say on gas mileage is disco's are VERY independent with gas mileage. I would say 10 to 20mpg is a safe estimate for almost all discos!!!! I get about 13 and honestly don't see a difference if it is city or highway (although the city speed limits are all 45 out here and I drive about 60 on them)

 

around 15 is ok we have an avalanche it gets 13mpg, as far as workin on it i have military vehicles and from what i saw this is setup like an army truck, gi axles full float, and parking brake on trans

 

Yes Rover Chris I think you are right, MPG is all relative.*

Your results may vary, check local listings.

 

Common problems on Disco's is everything not working.. in all seriousness

 

ok s0o I guess it comes down to I can do the work how pricy are the parts? and can i get em at pep boys or similar or only at the rover dealer?

 

We recommend Atlantic British, online ordering

Tom .. I bought mine a year ago for 2500 ...I got 1500+and still need another 1500 to
get the suspension and tires........ If you buy it be prepared to marry the damn thing cuz your gonna spend the bucks,,,,,,,,,,,,Very cool ride .....Im keeping mine till I die

 

I agree I have never had to put as much into any vehicle I have ever owned, however it is by far the best! It always needs something and I must say if I couldn't do all the work myself it may not be the right truck for my budget but as long as all I am paying for is A LOT of fuel and parts I enjoy having her take me where I need to go.

 

Parts for Rovers are as expensive as Toyota or Nissan parts. I bought my truck last September for 1K$ CDN, as a project. I spent 1500$ CDN on it, still need to spend some money on it. But in the long run I have a good running Disco with very low miles for 3K$ CDN. Which is definitely not bad. X2 on keeping the truck until I die! It also pi$$es off my brother that my stock truck is as good off-road as his modified YJ..... hahahahaha

 

well i usualy keep em for a long time and my truck is just not to practicle for daily driving all the time though I realy love it, here is a pic of my 2001 dodge diesel 4x4 dualy with a diesel welder i was moving for a friend, suppose i need to make some time to go test drive this disco to make shure I like how it drives, rides, handles and like how the interior is set up since i am picky which is why i keep em so long, i find what i like and stick with it
