Exactly,best to wait for the updated model,like D4 after D3,a very good example.

As is D2a,the best D2 by far.

But thats at least 5 yrs away for the new Deefer.

Then in todays world,throw in hybrids,Ev's,so who knows when these newer vehicles will be sorted,that is bugless.

Looks like in oz they currently do 5 years plus 5 years servicing as special offers from time to time, march is looking like they are doing it for all models bar RRS & RRV.

Usually its 3+ extra 2 avail at cost.

I think they do 5 in some other country's already as standard.

100% Agree, real world people find problems testers never knew could exist, same with every car, imo all the major stuff will be sorted, like modern phones they release after hardware is tested and solid, they then keep updating the software after the real world finds all the minor glitches, I'm happy to be a real world tester, warranty and consumer guarantee covers me beyond warranty period so no loss.

Bugless will never exist imo with any car.

The highest recalled car brand of 2018 will surprise most.

Mercedes-Benz issued 33 recall notices in 2018, far more than any other car company.

The German maker’s passenger car arm was responsible for 29 of those.

No mate...doesn't surprise me at all . The 3 pointed star isn't the leader it was in the 80's. Want a reliable sedan go Honda or Mazda etc.

Cheers

JLR already has most of the essentials, such as engines, suspensions and drivetrains, in service in other vehicles, so that should reduce the bugs, you would think.

Agreed, I'm sure much of what they know is reliable from other vehicles will either be used or engineering brought across, its just any new tech they add that would need to be tested hence the around the world pilot testing atm

Can anyone figure out what's going on in this rear wishbone?
