They can't be bad cars...

I've read a lot of posts on this forum about nightmares with buying Discoverys and as I'm thinking of buying a late TD5 I have to ask the question - Surely they can't be bad cars?

I'm told, even by Land Rover owners, that the Toyota Land Cruiser is much more reliable, but then in nearly 40 years of driving I've only had two cars dump me - a Volvo and a Fiat: both were easy road-side fixes. I've owned a nightmare Toyota, a totally reliable Peugeot, a brilliant Cherokee, and a perfect Corvette among many others.

Considering how many people are on this forum there must be loads of satisfied Disco owners here so please tell me they're fundamentally OK. After all, I've done some work on a TD5 for a friend recently and they don't seem like complicated cars.

Its not a fecking car :doh:

all I can say is I have a Disco 1, 1998, 300Tdi with 288.000 Kilometers on it, and I have never been let me down..... May be I'm a fortunate man, but I realy thrust mt landy. I'ts the best I've ever had.

Aye!

Ones that have had a few owners and been short on general maintenance will be/could be trouble just like any other vehicle, as most would say get one with history.

I feel sure if you take another look at my reply to Dr_Evil all I said was,

Aye!

:doh:

I'm clad I used the word "vehicle" then in my post

But to be correct as stated on the www CAR
An automobile, autocar, motor car or car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. Most definitions of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four
wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods.

Yes it is. It's got 4 wheels and it's not a van so to be brutal it's a car. I didn't say it's saloon car or a super-mini or whatever so it's just a car. You know 4 wheels, 4/5 doors, engine, gearbox etc. That's a car. I can't describe it as a 4X4 because that would include a Mitsubishi EVO. I'll tell you what... you can call my Corvette a car and I won't get upset! OK?

You've (just) failed to put me off buying one yet!

OWNED as stated on the www.
Owned has now spread beyond computer and gaming contexts and become part of standard slang, and typically follows severe defeat or humiliation, usually in an amusing way or through the dominance of an opposing party

nope its a landrover or light utility vehicle

gaylanders are cars
