Jeez, as I read on another thread here just the other day, you can lead a horse to water, but sometimes they're just dogmeat

Simply google JLR reliability then the internet will guide you ?

Large 4x4’s I’ve had
Range rovers , discoveries - all utterly unreliable , never never again !
Land cruisers, Nissan patrols - utterly trouble free, sadly Toyota don’t import the 200 series replacement so I’ve got the hump with them
For over 3 decades JLR has ben at the bottom of reliability surveys and people who ignore me and buy one soon learn they have not improved
Lovely cars , if they worked!
I keep this in my photo stream to warn would be JLR owners. It’s from a few years ago but the picture is the same now.

and as i say , thats where they have been for over three decades - surely time enough to improve if they wanted to ?

i had an isuzu trooper years ago and it was a beaut , 180k trouble free miles it was a commercial one i had as my service car and never let me down off road either
nissan patrol was just as good but underpowered in my opinion

Professional Dinitrol coating from new, pennies alongside cost of new vehicle. The cost of getting it done every two or three years when compared with a JLR warranty, and all the time using a loan car/wife's car/ standing by the roadside awaiting recovery......

to be fair matey if you want a disco 5 then get one , nothing else will scratch the itch so to speak
all the JLR faults are plain to see but even i didn't see them when i wore the green oval glasses
their issues are something i think you have to really experience to believe?
good luck and i hope you get a good one

Hoping my freelander 2 stands up to the hype of the least unreliable of the JLRs of recent years.
So far I really like it!

I’ve had the ‘full shaft’ experience of Range Rover ownership so it’s not a case of green oval glasses. Nothing comes close to a v8 rangie, so I put up with one major (oil seal failure) and a few niggling faults over ten years. It was regularly used off road.
If I wanted to drop 120k on a car I’d buy another in a heartbeat. Meanwhile, a disco 5 is a runner in a very narrow field - thanks in no small part to green zealotry.

V8 Octa
I was in one yesterday at the dealers. 148k for a landy that doesn’t even have a decent load cover in the boot. Not even close
