Hi All,
Here has been my Land Rover Discovery Series II experience so far...
The good lady wife has horses - so she wanted something that can tow. Many people said "Buy a Prado or a Land Cruiser" - but she wanted something smaller, with a better towing capacity.
After much hunting around (and test drives) we settled on a 2000 Land Rover Discovery Td5 Manual - with 120,000km on the clock.
Some people said: "Don't buy Land Rovers - they are RUBBISH"
Most people said: "120,000 for a diesel is NOTHING."
I bought the car. It drives well, tows great (only tow about once every 6 months anyway). Since I've had it - it has always been serviced every 10,000km.
Everything went well - until approximately 250,000km.
- New Head
- New Radiator
- New Clutch
- New Starter Motor (x2)
- New Fuel Pump
- New Battery
- New Windscreen
- New Radio
$7,000 later - and I thought that all of my problems had gone.
Last week - the fuel pump went again. I can't wait to get rid of it now - and start restoring my 61 Series II!
And yes - the servicing repair work has been done at 2 different "land rover specialists"...
