Blade boy: take bluemax's advice - these are not vehicles for everyman. One of the best reasons to own a Disco, in my opinion as it keep it largely as a toy. By that I mean, don't use it for commuting/shopping - it uses too much fuel anyway. Use it more for what it was designed for and you'll be happy.
If you must have one, find an example that is almost rustfree and super low mileage (we still have many around the Vancouver area although the supply is decreasing) Get one with the newer ignition system. Check that the dashboard isn't delaminating. Have the cylinder heads been off(decoke); if so, who did the work? As has been stated, get records and the original owner's manual.
Expect to put plenty of money into the vehicle for the first few years even if you do most of the work yourself.
Do a really serious soul search before you buy and best of luck if you do take the plunge.
