IMO disco is the easy option, plenty bits, cheap and cheerful, but if you can afford to splash out a bit more, the LC is the one.

We have two 80 series TLC's, one has had 5 years of considerable abuse and I did have to change the starter contacts on it, a few other things I induced by poor spanner work, the other TLC has given us 4 years of tarmac driving and needed a front exhaust pipe. These are 94 & 93 models so no spring chickens. I've lost track of what's gone wrong with my friends LR's in that time.

The TD's are not too bad, mine's still giving about 20mpg with a lot of extra wieght, my wifes does about 26mpg. The 24 valve's are reputed to do even better.

For about £300 you can get a decent 2"-2.5" lift which gives you space for for 35" rubber and decent clearance. How much will it cost to put axle lockers on a Disco and lift it?

I don't find it expensive even when I do have to buy parts, shop around a bit rather than relying on the main dealer and you can get sensible prices.
