hello from burton on trent

hello from burton on trent (the home of good beer!)

i ve been looking at this forum for a couple of weeks and have just joined today

i am intending to get either a disco or a p38 within the next few weeks but can't really decide which - having read lots of the posts on here i know what to look out for in both models - i am sure you guys (and gals) can help me.

i have looked at a few of each in the last week but not really seen a great one yet - looked at a nice 4.6 hse on monday but both front airbags looked quite perished & it took ages to go upto normal from access (about 2 minutes until the light stopped flashing so i thought it could also be the compressor)

i have always wanted a range rover and am now in the position to afford one but am a little put of by the stories of unreliability so i'm now leaning towards a disco.

my question is - i have a budget of 7/8k and want 4 x 4 for general use and occasionally towing a caravan - i would only do about 7 or 8,000 miles a year and would be happy to work on it myself - should i go for a p38 or a disco?

any advice from owners of both vehicles would be greatly appreciated

many thanks in advance

How do BB, post this down on the RR bit you might get more of a response. I'd go fer a Defender meself.
