I have to admit the Landrover is not the best car I have had for reliability. My car of choice before I changed to a Discovery for towing purposes wasan 04 plate Laguna diesel which when I sold it had 228K on the clock and was still on the original exhaust, clutch, engine and turbo. Even the battery was the original and it started first time, returned 50 mpg and was quiet, smooth and comfortable. It was my 3rd Laguna and the best by far. I then bought a 300 TDi automatic for towing and over the 12 months it was magnificent, it has towed a Lunar Delta 610/4 weighing 1600 lgs fully loaded all over the South of England without a cough, and returning 35 mpg solo and 25 mpg towing, that on an automatic, so I had high hopes when I purchased a TD5, of similar reliabilty. So, just as you have suffered the sunroof was p1ssing in water, I am surprised the previous had not corrected it as it had obviously been a long standing problem because I have been told my under the dash fuse box is corroded to hell and requires replacement. I sealed around the external sunroof frame to roof joint and it stopped immediately (thank you Landyzone) . I have since had the XYZ switch changed, twice, the first one was faulty, the cooling fan behind the front grille has siezed (a common occurance by all acounts) a new battery, a new suspension compressor, a new blower resistor pack for the climate control and a new screen washer bottle. I still love the thing to bits but my faith in going on seriously long trips has been somewhat shaken. I now have 2 recovery packages, the RAC and the Caravan Club Mayday, if we break down going I get the RAC to take us to our destination, and then after the holiday call Mayday to get us home, that if it cannot be fixed in the meantime. Luckily, I have not had to do this yet but the planning is in place. The old saying goes 'failing to plan is planning for failure', well I am doing the opposite i am 'planning for failure and having a plan'. Soory to not give you the answer you would like to hear.
