Well, after many years of Landrover ownership I have decided that I have had enough! You need more money than sense to own a Landrover - granted, they drive well and look good but boy do they bite you in the ar$e with monotonous regularity! They are the only vehicle I know of were a full warranty is essential! It is such a shame that an iconic British brand is consistently producing vehicles that are SO unreliable.
I checked out the renewal price for a warranty of my 40,000 miles Disco 3 and it was more than twice the price of the equivalent Land Cruiser...... so off to the local garage I trundle and off for a test drive in a LC 120..... well, what a surprise....
The vehicle was much older than my Disco and had covered 3X the mileage (120,000) but it looked and drove like a new car... I was astonished by how solid it felt. very very impressed.... needless to say I bought the thing and I love it! Just "modern" enough to be comfortable but "old fashioned" enough to be solid and dependable. I have had a bit of a crawl under it and it so much more solid than a Disco.... but there is a big downside...
The forum (s) is so quiet! (compared to the Discovery ones!) I have to smile at the low volume of people with problems! Happy days when I can just relax and drive without wondering how much the next garage bill will be... (touch wood!)
Welcome btw
and choice of LC.
