Xr1200 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Think I've finally given in to spending every weekend under my l322 range rover, seen a disco 4 need some reassurance to go buy it all the horror stories can't be true lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuddster Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 150k car at work has had a very hard life and been given a new engine at circa £7000. much much better than the D2 and the D3's. still a lovely drive matched with proper 4x4 ability. would I buy one over my rather agricultural 2004 landcruiser? No, because work isnt paying the bills. tread carefully. f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 You don't want to be buying a Land Rover outside the warranty period ,unless you are clever with a sack of spanners . I speak from experience I have had two of them . Would never buy another . There are many cars out there that are just as capable off road and much more reliable . My son in law has recently bought a brand new Range Rover and he has said that it will be sold before it runs out of warranty .

NickP Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Great cars, just can have a couple of niggles but that's LR for you, LR do extended warranty and if you are buying approved used then you should get 12 month cover anyway If you are interested ask questions on disco4.co.uk owners forum, plenty of advice good and bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie092 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 My friend who owns a garage had one in 2 weeks ago. Driver said it was playing up.... 39 faults when he plugged it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike737 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Pay no attention to the 'naysayers'. Get what you want. I've had LRs since 1983, from Series III, through classic Rangies, Freelander and Disco2. Loved them all, just look after them. I wouldn't have anything else - unless I win the lottery... Electonically recorded faults aren't necessarily anything serious... I've had several new Transits since starting my own business, and one of them had over 300 faults listed on one occasion... Mike.

Xr1200 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Put a deposit on one today got 2 year warranty and two years free servicing, I've looked around at landcruisers etc but none of them appeal to me I'm hooked on land rovers unfortunately I think ha ha. Think ill give it two years and see what happens its only got 39k on do its not killed with mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie092 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 yeah he did say that there where a dozen or so silly ones on there but however you look at it, unless you are reasonably competent or have a friend in the business they aint gonna be cheap to run. Saying that I would buy one tomorrow if I could justify it. we got the new freelander instead. Great car but smaller than it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
