Hello all, I am seeking advice as once bitten twice shy.
I own a Discovery 3 and it's been a money pit from the start.
When I bought it I knew the engine had seized, so I got it for a song and I particularly wanted a manual car.
I didn't know it was a whole body off to change the engine, which then became an engine, clutch, massfly, suspension unit, compressor and turbo unit. Not to mention the ancillaries.
That said and 3 suspension compressors later I'm about to buy a Range Rover 3.6. Car is on a 60 plate but is a non runner, I'm told it may be the egr valve, what ever that is, from reading other stories is this EGR likely to lead to the same horror story as my disco?
As I've said once bitten twice shy and I agree with everyone regarding the aftercare from main dealers so I'll not be going down that route.
All advice welcome and thanks in advance.
