Welcome to the forum...

First the 98 Disco will only pull 5500lbs on the highway and that is with trailer brakes.

Not sure what you plan to tow, but I will say that it will be a joy to drive in the snow as long as it has good tires. A 98 Disco with that mileage at the auction should be around $1000 - $1500 tops... Doesn't matter what it looks like.

When working with GEMS vehicles. Never try to locate a misfire by pulling plug leads off - pull the injector connector instead. Otherwise you can blow up the ECU.

Secondly never swap ECUs between vehicles to test them, because both vehicles and ECUs may stop working, and you'll have to have them all reset by a franchised LR dealer (ouch!).
