Reliable Truck-Great Dealership
I have my Disco II for 3 1/2 years now and have put 35000 miles on it. I have driven it on 2500 mile marathon business trips and taken it offroad many times. It has proven to be the most reliable vehicle I have owned. The Disco has only had minor issues to be fixed such as trim pieces and the CD changer. But the dealership fixed them fast and free without arguement. Other Land Rover owners I have met all seem to sing the same tune. Years ago I drove a vintage 70's Range Rover through the rainforests in Costa Rica, that trip convinced me that Land Rover makes the ultimate SUV's!
There and back again, Safety First!
Bought this car new and have put the majority of the miles on it in adverse weather conditions, in the Teton, Sawtooth and Wind River Mountains. It has always taken my family and I along with all of our kit AnyWhere that we wanted to go. Often past the marks where other trucks had stopped to turn around. Eventually I passed it onto my son and he flipped it upside down in to a 6' drop with three passengers. No injuries. The integrated roll bar protected the cab from collapse with only minor structural damage. This is a fantastic rig if you need to know that you will push the limits and return unscathed...

Steer Clear of this Vehicle
Overall, this purchase was the worst decision of my life. Bought this car for ecological work and needed towing capacity. After 3 years, I have never used this vehicle for it's intended purpose. Before I drove it home the first time the water pump went out. The second time the drive shaft fell off. Apparently, this is 'common' on LR. Everything has unusual engineering making repairs both extensive and extremely expensive. Tires are even outrageous. Though I validated this vehicle had a newer engine in it, virtually everything else has fallen apart. HORRIBLE mileage. Only put about 10K miles on it due to issues. Drove my Ford Explorer about 40K / yr for work...
Nightmare
My wife and I could write a best selling book on the horror "stories" we have had with this vehicle. (We will spare you) This is not a reliable vehicle. We have never taken this vehicle "off road" or in the snow, which is what it is supposed to be used for. From the electrical system, power train, brakes, rotors, ABS, etc. we have had nothing but problems. We have spent over $10,000 in the past 2 years on this vehicle in repairs and it is still broken. (ABS sensors, etc) We are going to buy a new car this week and we will never buy anything Land Rover or Range Rover ever again. We do not drive our cars "hard" either. 100% suburban environment, no snow, no hills, no bumps, etc. Lemon!
overrated
Plagued with defects and problems. Has needed new thermostat, fuel pump, front and rear brakes and rotors, headgaskets, etc. Extremely expensive to repair, parts availability has been problemmatic, repairs take a LONG time. Once the warrranty is over, you pay through the nose. Do not keep past warranty if you are foolish enough to want one.
