I'd be so disapointed if I hadn't bought my Discovery 2.
It's the first LR I've owned and when it's right it's brilliant! But boy, I'm glad I love playing with spanners. I've owned the disco since July, bought with no faults but developed quite a handful over the last six months.
The weird thing is I'm sure it does have a personality, it seems to sulk if I don't give it continual love and atention.
The biggest sulk it had was when it split the green fuel line and dumped £80 worth of diesel in 3 days (before my missus desided to tell me there was a strange smell of diesel???). When I went out to have a look under her (no not the missus) she desided to sit down on her a**e as if not wanting to let me have a look underneath? No problem I thought, I'll start her up re-inflate the air suspension and have a look. No way, she said and refused to start until I ended up with a flat battery..(Oh forgot to say I couldn't open the rear door, she decided to seize up the hinge so I couldn't get at the fuel pump)!
Jump started the LR, fitted new pipe, changed the air springs and all's well.
Horn started going off today when I left her, SHE's sulking again! No she isn't she needs a new horn button.
Radio stopped working the other day, then started again, SHE's sulking again so I washed her, she's happy now.
Don't laugh, I owned a Frontera 2 for three years previously, problems? No not one!
Do I love her, would I have another one? Of course I would!! Land Rover's, they're great when they work..Thanks for all the advice that made fixing her easy and inexpensive..
