    Hi folks, I got a discovery 4 2010, its been great but recently its been going into limp mode on cold starts, if I put it under stress within the first 10 mins or so of driving, I get a big puff of smoke out of the exhaust at the back and the car loses oil slowly over time so I plugged in my...

    Thanks to everyone who replied, we ended up getting a full refund off the guys at Fred's Cars and going out and buying a 2010 discovery 4 which so far has been rock solid. I will say both the guys at Fred's Cars are very nice people, they both went out of their way to help us as best they...

    Guys have agreed to a full refund as the car needs a bit more work than we can afford to do, thanks for the advice all.

    Anyone know of Fred's Cars?

    They have been great with us, they have about 100 cars in their yard so I can't get too concerned about 2 people returning cars given the amount they must go through? Both the guys have been great with us, they offered a full refund if we want, they removed the EGR's and butterfly valves and...

    The D4 was wrecked, looked immaculate from the top, but there was a big component underneath that was caked in oil, put my foot on the brake gently as slowing down and heard like a spring sound then a clunking sound, I walked away.

    okay folks, thanks for the good advice, car kept going into limp mode so the Fred's guys (who were helpful and friendly, did the egr valves/butterfly flaps) have offered a full refund for the car, so I am looking into other cars, I looked on the disco 3 forums and couldn't find much, but saw...

    Apparently, it's the early engine (2005) so it's pump was stronger and more reliable than the replacement pump introduced later into the discovery 3's life by land rover in order to save money 👍

    They want to deliver it today, its tax ran out on 30th of August and they claim that they can't tax it, I have to, is this correct guys? (IGNORE THIS QUESTION, THEY USE TRADE PLATES).

    The fact that the history is generally good (MOT) is reassuring to me, implies the car has been looked after, it's only 2 owners, one an old fella who loved it to death apparently.

    Anyone know of Fred's Cars?

    I can't get concerned about the MOT as the history of it's MOT's seem pretty good, the one thing I would have been concerned about "- Central Rear Prop shaft bearing excessively worn " seems to have been fixed between recent MOT's so not expecting anything major to come back 👍

    Anyone know of Fred's Cars?

    Thanks all for the responses, the guys at Freds Cars seem like real land rover enthusiasts, that's what sold me on them, I will ask some of the questions presented here to them but it's the fact that they knew Land Rovers well that I liked, I would rather pay a bit extra for a car that's been...
