ive just bought a 1996 300 tdi 3dr disco with 12 months mot, and the usual rusty boot floor i payed £1500 for it and it will cost about 150 for the new floor and have it fitted, there's a lot of discos around the £2000 so shop around and you'll fid a good one
Had my 94 V8 ES auto for 6 months (and 6000 miles) now. Cost £1600 with 12 months tax/MOT off ebay. In good condition (warped dash, cruise and front sunroof don't work, but who cares 
). Has a bit of rust on the rear floor, but not terminal yet. It is completely reliable after a new battery (£96). Had a dodgy gasket fixing for £50. Recent full service for £180. I bought it for a bit of weekend fun, but now drive it every day and my wife has inherited the XC90. Fuel consumption scary with a V8 auto ... 15 mpg !!!
Buy one .... these are more than just a means of transport ... they become part of the family.

This will answer your question, it is usually a dry joint on the ECU that controls the electric windows, look at the link below and click each image to enlarge, and you will see where to find it and how to repair. Simply quick solder jobbie.
Fixing non functional rear windows
so it wont be something simple like a fuse ?

No not normally, mine did this one day worked, another stopped, hit a pot hole and worked again, this is a very common fault on a Disco. If the rear windows freeze up and you try and move then the board takes the strain and usually melts a soldered joint before the fuse, BLOODY landrovers, lol

I am thinking about getting this guys to deal with my dashboard curl from Baermach, priced at £49. What do you think, expensive? can I get it cheaper? easy to fit?

DASHBOARD REPAIR KIT
Does your Discovery suffer from the dreaded “Dashboard Curl” – a common
problem with earlier Discos – then this is the simple answer. A neat plastic
trim, supplied as a 2 part kit with self tapping screws, to give the dashboard
edge a better-than-original finish.

If that includes changing the gearbox oil (manual g/box, can't remember what box you have) checking both axle levels etc and includes all filters and fluids that sounds very reasonable to me.
