I'm in the market for a used Land Rover, and I've narrowed it down to a late model Range Rover classic (94-95), early model P38A Range Rover (96-97), or a series 1 Discovery. Is any one of those generally less problem-prone than the others?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian

Well, I think they are much the same really.. the Disco 1 and Range Rover Classic both have the same engine, same drive train, and basically very similar chassis design. The P38 though has slightly better axles I understand, though if it has the air bag suspension, this can be a problem, (also fitted to some classic rangies as well)

Go for A 95 LWB ( long wheel base ) last year of production, most of the bugs worked out. Second, Disco I. Third P38A ( only if you are independently wealthy ).

Thanks for the input guys. I'm definately on the lookout for a 95 Range Rover Country LWB. I love the oldschool look.
