Be careful with that one. I had a 1994 Disco and you couldn't keep that thing running. The aluminum V8 runs way too hot to keep it running long. The high heat makes all the seals expand and contract and leak like a seive. The Lucas electronics are a nightmare too. I really like the layout of the inside, I just couldn't keep it running. If you can figure out how to get a SB Ford in it, then you got something. The ZF tranny is solid and the suspension is flexy. Just needs a heart transplant.
