Discovery maintenance costs

discool · Jan 27, 2012

Disco 4 servicing costs below from a main dealer are not bad, back in my old days with my RR it was normally £300 or £800 including only service parts and depending on milage. Same with my disco when that was main dealer serviced.

Just look at Jag, Mercs and Honda servicing costs now

There is no doubt the disco 3 is a very good 4x4 all land rovers are (except the poofy one)

I grew up on the farm and have driven LR's all my life...the poofy one...???

Eh? and a D1 with it's rust or a D2 with it's ACE and electric trickery isn't a money pit?
The first of a new design are always going to suffer issues but to call it an awful car is going a bit far! Something that will go places a standard D1 won't yet actually steers properly and is quiet and comfortable as a saloon car at speed doesn't sound awful to me...

Don't shoot the messenger...!!! Was just passing on what a dealer told me

Personally, a LR is supposed to be a bit noisy, have a bit of play on the steering etc...wouldn't be a proper LR without...Oh but then they aren't anymore are they..?

I think,the d3 also has to have section 7 mot,could be wrong,but I am sure I saw this when
I was looking into buying my 110 hardtop/utility.

Ha ha ha thanks for enlightening me To tell the truth I'd forgotten about that one as I don't count 'baby' 4x4's as anything more than a car...

They're all money pits. Maintenance costs are always high. I agree that you ned to put aside about a grand a year on top of normal running costs. Some years you get lucky, but save that year's grand because next year.....

It's part of the appeal. :5btoetap05:

agree on the xtrail quote - amazing car & apparently great off road too - jap reliability you cant really beat. but then will it have the personality / charactor the land rovers have ??

I'll say again, it's made by Renault.

We've had a couple of them and I find them really horrible.
