I am eyeing on getting an older Land Rover as a hunting rig since I sold my truck and got an SUV. I see the Land Rover discovery cheap.
Anyone know if they are prone to break down? Hard to work on? Money pit?

Trucks are for men
SUVs are for women
Most people will say they are money pits but I work on mine myself and it is the opposite to me. I actually use it off road too.
I’ve had a few and probably wouldn’t buy another.
We’ve got a defender 90 that we use as a hunting rig. It’s is unstoppable!

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.
Isuzu Trooper. I see them on MP all the time with 200,000+ miles.
The British makke them, so they are junk. Kinda like Jaguars
I’ve owned most models and used them (and still do) for a hunting rig. Any Disco that you find cheap is likely cheap for a reason. It’s probably rusted, has what they call the three amigos lit up, sagged out headliner, leaking sunroof, etc.
Plenty of them in excellent condition, but they are not going to be real cheap.
If you are settled on a Discovery, I would only look at and consider a Discovery 1, but that is just personal opinion. They generally have less issues (motor related head gasket). The Disco 1 with a 3.9 is a pretty simple platform based on a Buick motor and is a pretty reliable truck overall. Just remember, you are buying a 25+ year old truck.

I sold my jeeps to buy land rovers…KRT had the Jeeps in the shop all the time. From my LR4 to the old discovery…not a minutes problem and much more room. Just my .02
The only thing to buy with Land in the name ends in Cruiser.
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

I haven’t read the replies…
There are aspects of LRs that are great; they generally do not outweigh the aspects that suck. They all (at least the late 90’s and newer ones) get to a point and start having various issues. The electronics and sensors and wiring harness will start acting up, and from that point forward, you’ll need some that REALLY and truly KNOWS LRs to stay on top of what actual problems or bad sensor the warning lights are trying to alert you to and what sensors the bad sensor is causing to falsely alarm and why those little sensors are causing your truck to run like crap…or not run at all. You’ll need to learn to live with the check engine light being on, and when something goes wrong…which will happen frequently, the parts might take a while to get and will be more expensive than they should be. Labor for something that takes 15 minutes to do to just about any other vehicle may run 6-8 hours on a Rover, because the twisted minds of the British Auto engineers looked for any and every way to complicate the simplest issues with their engineering. Good luck.
