Land Rover-A junkyard dream

I bought this truck with great expectations based on the reputation of Land Rover. I loved the style and luxury/utility aspect as well as winter driving. Only 2 years old and the radiator needed to be replaced then the manifold gasket, then the head gasket now the engine. 78,000 and the engine needs replacement. I have babied this thing spending thousands per year on maintenance and repair. This is a horrible vehicle to own and should fall under the lemon law. Don't be a sucker for a marketing strategy.
Nifty SUV, But Too Uncomfortable for Me

I could not get used to the ergonomics. After owning the vehicle for less than a month, I sold it at a $3,500 loss. I am 6-2" and weigh 189 lbs. My right hip ached while driving, due to the highly angled side seat bolsters. This creates pressure on the side of your hips. The steering wheel rubbed against my right thigh, causing pressure on my knee when I pressed the brake. Once I hit both the brake and gas simultaneously. Not good ergonomics.It was fun to drive, though and looked great. I remember Billy Crystal on Saturday Night Live playing Fernando Lamas saying: "I would rather to look good than to feel good."

If you want class and like to have a vehical that you can rely upon at anytime, anywhere, then the Discovery II is the car for you. It also stands out from the rest and is a real eye catcher, it is perhaps built in England, but by Scottis Engineers and designers. Go buy one, and think of us Scots, who made this dream happen !! Cheers...
It is what it is!

I had always wanted a Land Rover (I am an outdoor wannabe!). I still would like a Defender. This truck is all I expected. It looks good and is made with typical British workmanship, put together well with parts that always seem to be a bit inferior. I used to have a Jaguar and it was the same. My only big complaint is that the brake and accelerator are too close together. I am now used to it, but anyone who uses the car fresh could be in dangerous territory. My wife let her mother drive it a short distance. She hit the brake and accelerator at the same time (with the same foot) and ran over a mini-van and a handicapped sign! Fortunately, no one was injured. I love it!

This was my second Discovery, and I am wondering why I bought another one. These are amazing vehicles with too many problems that can arise. Once it got close to 80,000 miles we started having problems. Oil leaks from valve covers. Power steering fluid leaks. Exhaust manifold leaks. Warning lights on the dash. Land Rovers are fun to drive, but not fun to own. Only buy if you can afford the problems. The average Land Rover repair is around 2,000 dollars.
