I'm looking at getting a second hand Disco 4 for my new business (finance broking so travelling around to meet clients). Also, it's got heaps of room to put sailing kit in and occasionally, we plan to use it off road (doing a 2 week trip to Karijini and Warrora Station / Coral Bay in April).

All the reviews give it big wraps as far as its comfort and off road ability goes, but if you read a lot of forums, there seem to remain question marks over its reliability on mechanics and electrics. This seems to have been more of a problem in the UK and I can't find so much evidence here, however, as with all these things, there are those in the "don't ever buy one camp" and those in the "never had a problem camp".

The other issue of course is getting stuck with a broken down Disco out the back of Tom Price. Long way back to Perth from there ! A Prado is an option, but you get more in the Disco and the Prado is now ageing with older engines and technology.

Appreciate anyone's views on either owning or using a Discovery.

Thanks
