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.

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

Best 4WD available

published

The smoothest car I have driven. Air suspension is very good.
Very economical. Driving around in Sydney traffic I can regularly achieve better than 10 litre / 100 KM.
Opted for Tech Pack and rear air conditioning. Worthwhile taking.
The only improvement I would seek is better maps in the navigation system.
The best car I have driven. Every passenger has been impressed with the quality.
Dealership provided outstanding customer service.

Purchased in April 2021 for $87,000.00.

Owned the Discovery 4 for 5 years. Loved it.
Traded for a new Discovery, Review to follow.

Excellent vehicle, very impressed.

published

Bought our Discovery new in September 2015, so far we've done 20k in it, mainly around town but we've also taken it on longer trips and on some fire trails. I did the Land rover off road course which was offered free, I knew I would be impressed with its capability and I was. The only slight critisism is the infotainment system, very slow. I tend to use my iphone as a GPS instead of the built in system. The Meridian sound system is fantastic as is the DAB radio. Very comfortable car for carrying children in. A bit thirsty around town, but that could be due to my driving style, surprisingly quick if you put your foot down.

New to Land Rover

published

Just took delivery of a 2014 Discovery and so far the wife and I love it. We'll never take it off road we have no desire to do so. people who don't 4WD are allowed to buy them!
Mid year update 11k in and it's as good as they say, quiet, smooth and efficient, the fuel economy got better as it got older. You really need to test drive one and find a way to afford I did and couldn't be happier.

My Disco 4 is a fantastic vehicle
It is fitted with a factory nav package which is totally substandard for a high quality vehicle and Landrover chooses to do nothing about it despite my protestations since new . Quote $500 to upgrade the software with no guarantee it is better .Silly stuff when one can buy software for the whole of Europe for $150 or less . This package devalues the Landrover brand
everything
Rubbish nav package

Beautiful piece of kit......

published

Brilliant go anywhere, pull anything, beautifully built motor. Gorgeous to drive on or off road and unlike some models before it, perfectly reliable. Would happily have another - so impressed that we have bought my wife a Land Rover (Freelander 2). Living in Australia it gets a real workout on and off road and is incredibly capable.
Lavishly equipped, luxury interior, versatile engine with loads of grunt, beast of a car.
Leather a bit industrial, expensive to buy and to own.

Perfect family car for us. With four kids we need a capable go anywhere car. This is it. Very comfy and quiet. The mrs loves it. 3.0 litre diesel is awesome it has some serious grunt. Was happy to sell the toyota to get into this. Superb interior. It goes to work, school,shopping and can tackle a rough bush track or sand dunes on the weekends.
Everything
service can be a bit dearer than toyota.

That's because they service all the car not just change the oil!
