And why?
A brief history. I'm an American living in Spain and for the past few months I have been searching the used market for a 4x4. I started wanting a Landcruiser, perhaps an 80 series but I addded Patrols to my list of consideration. Then one day I found a listing for a 2000 model diesel Disco II. The more I read about them, the more I became interested. But being a "Yank", we have this built-in suspicion of British motor cars. So I joined a US based Disco II forum. They were very helpful but no one could speak to the reliability of the diesel (not sold there). So here I am to go straight to the source and get some opinions on this truck. What should one expect who has no mechanical skills when purchasing a 20 y.o. Disco with 200,000 km's? Obviously it's all relative to how well it has been maintained but I'm hoping to get some feedback. FYI, I'm in southern Spain if location has any bearing.
