    but the new jeep grand cherokee is a Fiat funded, German designed when Daimler owned Jeep and now American built and using very similar technology to the Discovery and now like the Discovery has air bag adjustable suspension and is independent suspension front and rear

    Issue is going to build quality in terms of prices seems cheaper than the Discovery 4 and better fuel economy from the new 3.6 petrol motor in the Jeep

    All l now need is a job to pay me enough to take the foolish decision to spend the dollars on a depreciating assets with high maintenance and repair costs compared to investing the money in shares

    Sorry, seemed to have taken things off thread, but....

    The point being.....

    There is a lot of "very similar technology" happening, so it made me think. I have no idea who owned the designs of LR Command Shift, air suspension, etc, etc, etc, but when a company changes ownership so often where does the technology lie. In other words, can Ford or BMW release a vehicle using LR'ish engineering due to the fact that they owned the brand at one point?

    How does that work?

    Wow.....I panicked when I started having 'issues' with my D4,,,,once the pulse stopped racing, I remembered the most significant being a suspension failure, which was OK 90+% of the time....the rest were nif naff annoying things probably not anything more than some clumbsy bugger needing a kick in the butt for breaking things on assembly....things that would look OK on inspection.

    17 weeks?.......I had to do without mine for a just over a week when I was getting some self induced breakage fixed.....it was pretty bad......

    Cheers.
