In the past two years I have owned a 2002 TD5 and a 2002 2.7cd grand cherokee, discos not very refined slow always needed something doing to it, the GC is faster by a country mile more economical 35mpg at 60mph no probs, uses the merc 2.7 engine is an auto with all the toys. Disco feels steadier on the road but I fitted an uprated anti roll bar from usa which made a big difference to the grand cherokee. havnt needed to do anything to the GC yet nice to drive bit ponderous at speed but then so are most jeeps. The disco is bigger and the air suspension was a bonus but only if its working. Both vehicles have their fare share of issues and parts are easily available for both really comes down to personal preference, having said that I wont be going back to a landrover too much hassle.
