Flat-bedded once.. the key gave up ! Otherwise with the combination of weekly fluid/belt checks and a rudimentary understanding of mechanics, access to a great forum and a top notch mechanic mine just rolls on...5 years and still my best car

D2's are no more unreliable than any other make of car. There are just twice as many features in them which mean there are twice as many things to go wrong. I'm sure a toynota with SLS, ACE, ICE, TC, ABS, TSP, Electric everything, 3 zone air conditioning, and all the rest of the great gadgets that make a D2 a D2 would spend just as much time in the workshop, maybe more.
The only options available in a toyota in the years that D2's were in production were air conditioning, and a membership to the 'my toyota is unbreakable' club!
Just bought a 2001 V8 and couldn't be happier. Yes it has a few small issues but I feel that I have got a lot of car for not a lot of money. My previous car was a 92 Pajero and the Disco feels much more solid and is much smoother to drive.
well wasa, i really guess i am too in exprience with these machines to say was there a warning , have spoken qualified experts on landys, non quali experts and qualified non landy mechanics, all say the same but different ! just be sure to have fluids changed and noises /vibrations thoroughly checked, i didnt! if there are leaks its not good either, check quality of atf when changing it and ensure the mech or you follw the correct procedure for refill, there is a way to do it right and a way to do it wrong so i have been told! did my mech do it wrong? who knows, but a forum on here somewhere suggests that new trans is likely to occur from 250k onwaards , but there are always exceptions, good luck and i hope i havent worried you!Quote:
