5th time the car has broken down

published

2017 car and its the 5th time its was sent back. First it was the reversing camera and now suspension fault. I had to get it towed. What a terrible experience.
I do have extended warranty on it but its just so unreliable. Once one problem is fixed another one pops up. I wish i never bought this car and land rover should take responsibility for this lemon that they have created.

Room for improvement

published

Have been driving since November last year. Driving experience has been great. Good interior space, too. A few points of improvement needed: 1. Miss the signature square design 2. back mirror had dirty marks inside when first received (already replaced by dealer) 3. 2nd row seats not very easy to operate for 3rd row access (ours is manual). 4. One wheel guard and mirrors have scratches already ... couldn’t they be made of more scratch proof materials? 5. Strong smell from interior materials 6. which I could install babyseat in the middle of 2nd row.

Last real tough luxury off-road landy

published

This vehicle is more on the lines of the original Range Rover.
You can drive this to hell and back and it stands by you like a good old friend.
Performance and handling is excellent.
Seat comfort is the best and than other makes probably due to BMW influence.
Reliability is average as things do wear but you can easily maintain this vehicle because there is an abundance of information and cheap parts you can order from UK. The markup on parts from dealers in Australia is daylight robbery.

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.

Best 4wd ive owned

published

Purchased my 99 disco auto a few years ago. Couldnt be happier with it. Tows my boat with ease. 200k on the clock. Had 3 amigo lights when i purchased the vehicle, replaced the abs shuttle valve for under $100 and all good. Fuel economy is amazing for a 4wd that weighs over 2 tonne, i get 9.5 litres. Have owned a 96 Prado previously, and an 01 navara. They dont compare to the disco. Looking at getting an ecu remap soon for some more get up and go.

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

Best 4WD under 20k

published

More comfortable and prestigious than the Japanese 4WDs under 20k, you get the luxury car feeling as soon as you get inside, and drives very comfy and quiet. Fuel costs are relatively high, 15-16 litres per 100km, and could only be serviced by land rover specialists. Don't even bother bringing it to a normal mechanic shop. You might get some trouble with the engine warning lights etc. but once fixed by a good land rover mechanic it runs smoothly without any problems. Really enjoy driving this one and wouldn't change for another SUV for under 20k, this is the best you can get for that sort of money. Petrol ones are less trouble than the diesel ones.

amazing, amazing amazing

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.

The 3 Amigos

published

It is so disappointing that Land Rover did not recall this model over the ABS brakes system . The Wabco (Germany) ABS has exhibited a fault by illuminating three lights on the dash with regular monotony. It appears that owners all over the world are annoyed by this ABS failure., My vehicle has 108,000 klms now and I have endured this for about 38,000 klm to now. In desperation I removed the ABS modulator last week and posted it to an ABS repairer in Shawnee (USA) for a positive repair. I regard the failure of Land Rover to recall and repair the ABS as negligent.
