The 04 is, by far, the best of the Disco line, I however are still driving my 99 and wouldn't/won't part with it. If you are a little mechanical, don't mind getting your hands dirty and know where to buy parts, you will be in great shape. Wait till you see how an 04 performs off road!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! _____________________________ Mike Retired service manager.

Get what you want, but make sure you can check service records!  Any vehicle will have problems if it was not properly cared for! _____________________________ 2001 Range Rover 4.6 SE - Coil Sprung 2000 Chevy Blazer 4x4 4.3L V6 - The Beast (in reply to Disco Mike) Post #: 3
