Interesting one.
Debating the same thing myself, though without an offer on the table.
Personally I would be looking for a newer Disco3. The large 4x4 market isn't exactly flush with punters at ... |

2800 miles, 3 months old.
Slotted into 4th gear, lifted off the clutch and no drive. Like being in neutral. Clutch back in, into third no problem then went back into 4th.
This has happened twice ... |

CFB - Interested in your clutch problem, did the dealer fix it i.e. was it a binding handbrake?
