I have a different perspective. I've had four full-sized Range Rovers (including the super charged one I have now), two Discoverys, and two Defenders D-90. I had some issues with the 2004 Range Rover's automatic raising and lowering suspension, but they were resolved. All in all, I have nothing but very positive things to say about them. They are super tough and handle better in ice and snow than any other 4x4 I've experienced. If I were stuck with just one vehicle forever, it would be a rover.
Do you know why the Brits don't build computers?
They haven't figured out how to make them leak oil!
Actually, I looked at a Disco II a while back; good price, nice shape. The reason for the good price was the engine was making "some kind of noise", but "ran".
I did some research and apparently, RR bought the tooling for the V8 in those from Buick(?) back in the 60s, and kept using it until it was past worn out. Unfortunately, that didn't stop them from using it. The engines left the factory out of spec, with cylinder sleeve and oil pump failures common. RR wouldn't replace the engines under warranty, but would if you wanted to give them $10k.
I don't know about the Freelander, but RR doesn't have a great track record of reliability.

I have wanted on for a long time and then I drove one. A Supercharged HSE I think. Thought it was really nice but not enough room for me. I was really disappointed because I have wanted one for a long time but I wasn't going to pay that much for something I wouldn't be comfortable in on a long road trip
Buy a Range Rover if you have the money to fix it. Otherwise get a toyota.
If you get a rover, get a Defender.

I think range rovers are butt ugly. I personally wouldn't give two cents for one.
