Welcome to the Forum. Having once been a Fleet Manager with a number of Discos I know what you mean about the reliability of RRs. The Disco wasn't a lot better. The BMW is so much better to drive.

much nicer to drive more responsive noise levels lower, build quality and materials feel much better , obviously not as good off road but i didnt buy it for that, just had so many probs with range great car but it got to the stage that every time we went out i was waiting for another warning light to come on,when it was running ok it was good just not reliable enough for me, looking forward to reading a lot more posts on here especially want to get the engine pre heater to work off a remote but first i really want a good indy i can trust,i do a lot myself but getting a bit old to be crawling under cars all the time,thanks to all for warm welcome!
