I have a Land Rover Disco Series II, that isn't going grab enough attention to hijack anything. lol

...and i have to say my X5 is better in the snow that my disco 2 hands down. exact same snow tires, exact same size....

I too have a Land Rover--2004 Discovery SII-- 82k miles on it and am thinking seriously of trading its title for some cash to look for a 2001/02 X5 4.4.

This is my 2nd LR and though I love/hate them, I am getting worn out with the 'life signs' of the truck: oil leaks, etc... I do my own maintenance and work on it, but just getting tired of fix one leak, issue then another appears.

I was curious markwoodlief if you did buy the x5 4.4 and what your experience has been since owning it.

I'm looking at a one owner; maintenance documented 2001 x5 4.4 w/ the sport and towing package (<--the package combo is rare from what I am told) Mileage is in the 120k range.

I also own a 2000 Z3 (152k miles) and that has been one of THE best cars I have ever owned....easy to work on and very reliable.

Again, not meaning to disrupt by bringing up an old thread, but your's {markwoodlief} was the closest 'researched thread' to what I am currently experiencing and may want to change too.

Others comments are certainly welcome.

Thanks to all in advance,
-Mike

I went through of rough patch of stuff that needed to be fixed but now the truck has been really solid besides having to replace the water pump stuff last year.

78Kmi and kicking!
