poodle what is a proper 4x4? If Landrovers are that bad then, why the hell are they so popular? If they are that bad then they wouldn't hold their value and be well sort after would they?. Also have a massive backing and fan base.
Only reason they become money pits if they haven't been looked after, like everything else.
If you use cheap parts with these things, then yeah you will end up buying twice.
These things are full blown work horses like Darren says.
As for 99% that are not looked after, then I think you need to really look again. Yeah they rot bad if they haven't been looked after. My dads is 20+ years old and its still in good nick for its age. Also its never put a foot wrong at all compared to the Jeep they had. Which was a lot newer, and expensive to fix, parts are a bastard to get hold of.
So you work that out.
Matt what will you be doing with the disco1? I am toying with the idea of going defender, I am looking at 300s and TD5. But if anything does happen, it will be next year I think.
