Disco Sport is a nightmare
There is a class action lawsuit ongoing in the US and they try to keep the EU situation under a lid. All people I talked to (5-yr old diesel engines) had blown their engines! It also occurred to me: some turbo parts are clearly built cheap and they have not bothered with a recall, which I find shocking.
They granted us a 70% discount on the price of the engine replacement.
The petrol engines should be more reliable though
Not trying to troll btw - just sharing my personal experience
Twin defenders
Last night, my daughter and her husband joined us at our country home to spend the night. I’ve had range rovers in the past and swore that I would never buy another one. However, the defender caught my eye, and it certainly so far has met my expectations....
Did you have bad experiences with them in past?
I thought Range Rovers are top of the line, but no personal experience.
I’ve owned 4 full size Range Rovers over the last 10 years.
And I can say they just get better with each new edition. More reliable and better ride which is already top of the line. I like the Defender both old annd new, almost bought a V8 Carpathian edition over the summer but didn’t want to pay the $50k ADM. So ...
Nice! I had the new defender for a week in Iceland and came away really impressed
Whiteout conditions, more snow and ice than asphalt, below freezing all day everyday, wind speeds blowing smaller vehicles off the road, the defender was a great companion, it's the grown up wrangler I would actually buy. Tbh, I'm tempted to trade my spor...
My BIL has one, he said shortly after
he bought it the dealership called and wanted to buy it back offering him a HEFTY profit, he kept it.
Land Rover's reputation is still recovering from when they were owned by Ford 20 years ago
The new JLR ownership is much more competant and produces an excellent product, with the Ingenium engines being designed and built by Jaguar. I own a Discovery Sport and love the build quality and value.

Modern is much better
I've had 2 discoveries and a full size RR. Loved the full size but no third row so I ordered the discovery. No major problems, the 2021 discovery had the new pivi pro system and the surround sound amp had an issue that took a few weeks to diagnose. No big...

I’ve had 3 sports and now have the big one HSE. All 4 had big 8 cylinder engines. Never had 1 problem.
Speaking of v8
I have been trying to convince myself that a ram trx would be cool... supercharged v8 ... but I think the novelty would wear off as the rest is a dodge🤷♂️
Nice spec
What size are those aftermarket wheels, 23? Fwiw I have 3 friends with defenders all about 2 years of ownership with no issues👍
Engine combination
Do you think the D240SE would be good for the Defender. If not can you recomend an ...engine combiation. Regards Seconds.
I have known many folks with Range Rovers, Defenders, Discoveries, and Landies
I went to the launch of R-R in the USA, and several other LR press events, and did some service development work with the dealer in town. Some of my pals were quite fortunate while other owners had their share of problems. 🙁 I have a LR scan tool if you n...
