ABS shuttle valves, plastic connectors for the auto leveling system so shocks always droop, gasket for the cooling block for the throttle butterfly so all your coolant will disappear.

Ooh and the seemingly large hole in the fuel tank that only appears when you're driving it. Pretty sure any loan application requires declaring ownership so they're aware of the huge out going expense.

There are a few common/well known faults with the Disco 2 (ABS being one of them), but considering that most of them a 15 years old know they hold up pretty well.
Great thing about Land Rovers is all that it's easy to know what to look out for as there are so many LR nutters and so many forums that it's easy to keep on top of things.
LRs are usually pretty easy to work on too and easy/cheap to get parts from the UK.

I've got a diesel Disco 1 also and that thing has been great, have used and abused it and it's kept going and going, only thing to have failed thus far in the alternator but that's something that will fail on all vehicles once it gets old enough.
