Vee_Que Man Ryan you just love ignoring the core point and being aggressive against the point for the sake of it. Hilarious. I said close to stock, my v8 Calais is close to stock, I know if I put a cam and tune in it that it would become an even bigger fuel user without any gain as a daily and probably start fucking up. No thanks, need to carry my wife and three kids around.
I misread at the start of it it seems. Having lifted a disco, without doing the radius arms, it ruins the ride and handling and worsens tyre wear.
Hmm maybe. What if it was important to you to have a cammed V8 as your daily? I have a friend who has that exact requirement. I also have another friend who's requirement of a daily is JDM turbo so he gets around in an Evo that has a tune and other mods.
Clearly your requirement is reliable to move the kids around so you have landed on stock, no mods should equal reliable. That's fine too.
Your assessment of what should be the correct daily is not my assessment, or AJ's assessment or anyone else's but your own. There is no core point other than "Alex likes stock and reliable so everyone else should to" in a thread about "AJ's Discovery" that point shouldn't really be taking any precedence because it isn't "Alex's Discovery which he uses to move around his family". You're free to make a thread about your Calais where you can tout the merits of keeping it stock but this is a forum where the majority of people like to tinker and modify so you're kinda missing the point and should be posting on Whirlpool instead if you hate modding so much.
