    Yep they are all crap, brother in law has a brand new Ranger, V6 , had it 2 months, already logging faults, auto needs to be removed for repairs
    Nice car though, my Disco 4 , well maintained, 120,000km , 10 years old this year, not one break down or fault , sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
    Probably just mozzed myself big time….

    Indeed. Son just sold his 3.2 Ranger. 150k and the only fault was a dud thermostat at around 20k, known issue done under warranty. Apart from service items they never touched it. It towed a van, a boat, and came to Winter Wombat and went everywhere the Landies went with no issue.

    As Tombie says, you are entitled to your opinions. However, I have spent some time on the 'Cruiser and Patrol fora and would contend that you will find far more honesty about the shortcomings of owner's vehicles on this one than you ever will on those. We are all aware of LR's failings over the years. We don't try and pretend they don't exist in the way Toyota owners do.

    Wow.

    He's not wrong about running on, although I call it a runaway. The old GM diesels were famous for it. Bloody scary when they did it.

    I have found the same with many brands,including LR owners.

    Could give a couple of good examples,but i think we have had enough"Brand Bashing" for a few months...
