It depends really what you want it for.  And which model you're going for, from what period.  Can you be a bit more specific?

a bit of green laning and mud would the 2.5 be ok with this

Well, yes, Discoveries are pretty good off road.  There are 2 different 2.5TDi engines - 200tdi (original model) or 300tdi (facelift model with updated interior and frontend).  300tdis are available for fairly reasonable money these days;  a stock one will be able to cope very admirably with a bit of laning, particularly with decent tyres, or you can start bolting bits on until you run out of money.

200tdi then.  Good truck.  With those mods you'll find it goes well.
