Landrover Ignores Safety Issue

published

My 2014 Discovery rotary gear selector locked itself in Drive resulting in an embarrassing tilt tray ride to the dealer who estimated 2000 dollars to investigate ($357) and replace the module (880).

A quick internet search reveals this is a common fault both here and overseas and may have caused crush injuries in the US.

I wrote to LR UK and LR Aus but was fobbed off saying they could not respond to mine ir other 3rd party diagnosis!

Beware...don't take your car with a rotary controller anywhere dangerous eg on a beach at low tide cause it may well lock up in D or P afterwhich you are stuffed!



LR is worse than dealing with Centrelink!!

Purchased in October 2021 for $40,000.00.

the best car ever

published

i use my land rover as a work car and weekend warrior and the best of road car i have ever had better the my 200 series land cruiser and better than me mates y62 Nissan patrol i use it very day it is a beast it has done 73000 and not problems at all

the cool thing is it is very luxury and a very good of roadier that is some think the 200 series and patrol can not match it for plus the airbags make it a better off roadier and give it better ground cleanse so the car goes up and down and the terrain select system is wicked

just by one

FYI
i have put 28 inch A/T on it
me mate patrol has 30 inch A/T on it
my old 200 have 28 inch A/T as well

Magnificent car

published

The best car I have ever owned, by miles. The auto transmission is smooth as silk and the fact that it locks into top gear (8th) and stays there, makes it beautiful for touring, unlike the Toyota 4wd’s that chop and change gears.
The 600nm of torque make towing a breeze, and the fuel economy is amazing.
On top of that, the interior noise is almost non existent.

A superb car.

Fault with EPB

published

The EPB or electronic Park Brake is not a serviceable part but after 4 years the motor or actuator that controls the hand brake seized making the vehicle immobile and the part needed to be replaced at a cost of $1590 plus minimum 4 hours labour so over $2000 to repair a park brake

Discovery 4

published

I bought a 2011 Discovery 4 in 2015 with 55000klm on it . It now has 150000klm now and has proven to be a great 4wd. It’s towed a caravan around most of OZ easily and is a very comfortable economical everyday car. People we speak to with Discovery 3or 4s all are also very happy with them. Ours has the 2.7 ford diesel I changed all the trans and diff oils at 100000 The disco is a very good vehicle.

Fuel Gauge never worked since new and Land Rover won’t fix it

published

Fuel gauge never worked from new, when parked on mild slope! Say they will fix it every service and haven’t. Now say it’s normal to not work if parked on a mild slope!!! Avoid Land Rover!!!!! If you have a problem, they will not fix it even though it’s a $70000 car.

Great SUV and Family Car

published

This is a great versatile family SUV. Has all the luxury trimmings you would need. Driving performance is great - very low noise especially for a diesel.

7 seater flexibility can fit the extended family - very spacious inside. High riding height ensures great visibility for the driver and passengers all around.

Dislikes - as an older model - misses out on some of the latest gadgetry - ie. blindspot monitoring etc.

Nothing but the BEST

published

Owned a 2008 Freelander 2 which took me around the country including Cape York. I liked it so much I bought a 2012 Disco 4. Disco is quiet at any speed, very comfortable, spacious and practical, ride very well, smooth easy power at all speeds. Tried Victoria high country with ease. Love the unique exterior design and Discovery 2017 is not for me.

Great car

published

One of the best decisions ever made. Road comfort is worth it with its air suspension. Bought a dealer demo for 70k. It replaces prado for its money spent. Once a year service or 26k kms service. Prado or any other cars needed two or three services at this mileage. Cost 700$ for service and is a dreAm to ride.now I prefers long trips. Can occupy 7 adults comfortable

amazing, amazing amazing

published

i have a discovery and i can't say it is not bad one bit. i have had no faults with it. it drives very smoothly and very quiet, compared to most cars. It is very capable going offroad (considering it won 4x4 of the year like 4 times). it is also a very sexy looking car and love it very much. we've been very impressed and i will surely get another one.

We have a 2014 disco which has done 120,000ks. It has everything on it that we want and we love the car...our question is do we sell now and try to find a later model with low ks before its done too many more ks, or keep it forever. Trying to work out the best thing to do economically (newly retired)

Hi Paul, no not this particular problem, our was a fault with the starter key . Our car would start at all. It would lock and unlock itself for no apparent reason. They totally stripped our car and had to test everything single wire in the car. After many weeks they found the problem, but couldn’t order the part as it wasn’t on their parts list. So instead of calling England to order part they took it out of another new disco. Can’t really understand their logic, but 9 weeks later we have our car back and thankfully it hasn’t missed a beat,YET. Maybe a call to fair trading or consumer protection. Good luck
