Yellow Bear Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 We have 2 and will concur with the above. We had one niggle on one car (corrected under warranty) that they suspect was a faulty (manufacturing) EGR valve which showed at 5K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Have a 2014 driven by my other half like she stole it..... seems to stand up to it well. Economy is good (better when she isn’t driving) only issue other than servicing is we had a rear calliper seize last year that was a few hundred pounds to sort. But then 6 months later it was recalled due to the callipers and they replaced the other and refunded what we had spent replacing the one we did. Really that was very appreciated!

ferguson_tom Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Dont bother with the hybrid unless its a company car. Generally though its a good motor, if a bit boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk dumpling Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Delivered three of the hybrids yesterday. Whilst they appear to be well put together and are very quick and smooth to drive in each of the three I got a dull pain in my hip - thought it was arthritis or similar but then I drove a new Transit and an awful R/capture and no pain. Got into my Mini Cooper S at end of day and also no pain. Very strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 My Son in Law has had the Hybrid model for 2 years (Company vehicle). He tows a large caravan with it and is currently in South of France. No problems with the vehicle BUT he is thankful he has a Company fuel card !

norfolk dumpling Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 None of our Hybrids are charged by hirers so they are running on the small petrol engine for 95% of the time and thus very thirsty. Especially the big BMWs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) I've got the hybrid, after decades of various Land Rover products. In many ways I miss the Disco 2 it replaced, but on the whole I am pleased with it. The Disco had about an inch more ground clearance, I have scraped the PHEV a few times caught out by that. The Disco had a better driving position to my liking but the PHEV is much easier and quieter so it's a bit of a win some lose some situation. I do charge it but not every day. However even if I do longer journies with no charge I get way better fuel economy than the Disco. I've never towed with it so cannot pass comment.
