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.
Think twice
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.
Great Vehical To Drive
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!
Disco II
Solid truck, and this is a true truck with a solid ladder frame. The Disco II is built like a tank, and basically durable. ACE stinks. Loud squeaking and whining noise from ACE has caused 5 trips to the shop so far. Land Rover Dallas is very customer focused and very kind, but unable to repair the problem. Buy the Disco II WITHOUT ACE (Active Cornering Enhancement). ACE is a maintenance nightmare! I would buy another one, but no ACE.
