Brilliant motors ( owned a few ) , but I'd always ensure they had warranty, very expensive to repair.................I'd still have another one tomorrow!

Yep, especially the Disco 3's - I was never more pleased when Tesco started their warranty programme, covered almost everything but they removed the warranties after about 18 months

Disco 4's are a lot more reliable

Yep, they're certainly up there.

Prefer my Defender (with a Twist and ever so comfy Recaro seats) but it does have a Disco gearbox fitted!

Cracking Defender, would love another but since my wife came on the scene thats a no no she prefers creature comforts.

Lol, as for the underwear, if its as durable and comfy as a Disco it'll do...actually durable and Disco in the same sentence might be pushing it
