You know you want one otherwise you wouldn't be here  :) Go for it - it's the best vehicle I have ever owned  :) :) :) yes there are some downsides like fuel so if you have a long commute to work it's not ideal - but for a weekend leisure and off road vehicle it ticks all the boxes for me :) :) :)

I've had mine for a few weeks now, bought a 1998 2.8TD LWB with the wider track (won't tell you what I paid for it, you might be sick  :-X ).  So far so good.  Was plenty comfortable on the 4 hour slog down the M6 after picking it up, ride/handling etc is a bit agricultural but mainly because my other car is a sporty Italian so it's never going to compare well on that front.  Fuel is about what I'd expect from a engine this size pulling a truck this size, no idea on mpg, I try not to think about it.
It's a quite fun to drive though once you get used to it, great looking down on Discovery drivers (which I used to do anyway but not because I sat higher :D) and looking forward to some really nasty weather so I can go about my business with no worries.
