Well I owned a 2001 Disco for 6 years. I put 145,000 trouble free miles on it and still miss it. I guess I got lucky I had no leaks no electrical gremlins and the 01 is the best in my opinion because it still had the ear on the transfer case to lock the center diff. Go to discoweb.org and read up about them. The solid front axle is a huge bonus imho like I said I loved mine and still miss it.
