I bought a one owner 97 discovery in the fall of 2001. So far we had to replace the left intake manifold (had a crack) and the power steering box. Both of these were existing problems it seems -since the ticking noise i heard was the crack in the manifold and not a lifter -and the power steering was leaking slightly but i thought it was just a hose. I love this vehicle and want to keep it for a while but i've heard that the discovery II has a much better mech record. This one had 75000 when we purchased it and now has 93000- I am wondering if it would be better to keep this one for 50000 miles or dump it now and get a dis II with low miles and keep it for several more miles. Anyhow you guys seem to be experts on the disco so any help would be greatly appreciated. I also have a d90 '94 with a lot of miles but can't compare the two at all since they are such different vehicles -both awesome though! Thanks fb |

Keep your 97. Sounds like all the bugs are worked out already. |
