Default Future Disco owner.... I think

Hi, I have been thinking of picking up a Discovery for a trail cruiser, camping vehicle. However after reading this and another forum I have to ask, are these thing really this unreliable? I know that people don't post to say how well everything is going so I am not totally put off.
I was looking at a couple of 2001-2002 D2's but after reading some more I am wondering if a D1 wouldn't be a better choice.
I guess I am curious what are the pro's and con's of each?

thanks,

Go to https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...section-32402/

in there you will find link to what to look for when buying a Disco (1 or 2) and comparison of the two. There are 620 differences. D1 has much simpler electronics.

Download free tech manual for both below, it is called the RAVE.

Also, if you use www.statewidelist.com, you can search all of craigslist for a whole state, for "Rover", your price boundaries, dealer, personal, or both; and the output is grouped by city. Also handy for finding a scam, as they frequently list in multiple cities. But it will give you a "range" of prices on Range Rovers and Land Rovers.
