Thread: My mechanic says DiscoII's untill 2002 were a problem

yes, you usually only hear about the bad ones.
but, a mate of mine in the workshop of a landy dealership did tell us when we were after a d2, not to get anything before 2003. this was mainly because all of the common problems associated wit the early ones, had been sorted in the later models.
of course, in true land rover style, as soon as they'd got the thing reliable and working properly, they dump it and bring out a new model. the d3.
now we wait to see what new f^%$#-ups they have in store.
i don't know specifics, but there has been some common problems already with the rr vogues and sports. i know one was a small part within the aircompressor for the suspension. firstly, rather than go with the proven unit of the D2's, they sourced a new compressor, then went looking for someone who could make it cheaper. one of the parts in it that was replaced with a cheaper part, is failing repeatedly.

Hi, Got a d2 2000 with 125K v8 on lpg and have had a few minor things but no major mechanical problems, just like any car, but it has always got me home no matter what. Got no real complaints
