    Is the DII navigation system worth looking for an HSE? Without a full screen, I don't see how it would be very useful but of course I've never used it so don't know.

    D2 Brakes

    It seems like I have read before that the D2 rotors cannot be turned and have to be totally replaced each time. Is this the same on all years?

    Slipping liner - how long?

    Is a slipped liner something that can be driven with as long as you don't mind the noise or is there a point where it renders the engine inoperable? Is the knocking really loud or is it just more of an annoyance?

    03 with "loud Lifters"

    There has been an 03 for sale for quite some time. It's advertised as a mechanics special because it has "loud lifters" according to the add. The rover seems to be in good condition otherwise. Is it a bad idea to even consider something such as this with the intention of getting it very cheap...

    What is it about Rovers?

    What is it about rovers that attracts us to them? It's not reliability and it's not economical. The PITA factor is huge when compared to my land cruiser which just runs and runs and is capable off road with it's locking diffs. But still, I'm ready to trade my land cruiser for a DII. So what...

    03 or 04

    Currently looking for an 03 or 04 Disco and have found pricing all over the place. The Edmunds TMV pricing is by far the least expensive and NADA is more but still way below dealer asking price (I'm talking $3k or more). Of course Kelly is way up there. In searching for a disco, How should I...
