While this philosophy seems to work OK with American vehicles, it does not work too well with Discos. The Range Rover made vehicles are expensive new, and expensive to repair if you use the dealer, and many things are just not done to keep them up, then a lot of things go wrong at once. But...consider this, most Disco I trucks now have on average over 120k miles on them, many have 150k or more, and are still running, and can be made to run well, and can still have plenty of life left in them, if you do the repair to bring them up to snuff. I think that is a pretty good track record.

i think your right on with this.. my previous owner was literally a millionaire and had kept the disco in great shape, using good oil, and 93 octane gasoline, as well as performing all the regular maintenance. I have had very few problems.. so far, the battery has gone bad, and water was leaking from the visor.. i have nearly 53k miles and the ignition wires are failing.. that is the only Main problem i have had so far...
