    Early disco 3 or late 2

    I am sure this has been asked before but I thought t was worth a specific. I will be looking to spend 10 ish k on a discovery. I want lowish mileage and reliability as I do a fair few miles, towing and also going to the Alps. I know the disco 3 s meant to be a much nicer car, but I did like...
