Owned one for 7 years in. Africa. It fell apart after 70,000 Kms. I have fond memories about selling it.
1If you’re not rich enough to own a new Discovery, you most certainly aren’t rich enough to own a used one. Just saying....
1Prior to Covid my brother bought a Prado which he just sold for a $6000 profit while not spending a cent on it. I bought a Pajero which I just sold for a $4500 profit while not spending a cent and a good mate of mine bought a discovery. One of us spent $6000 on their car during lockdown and made no profit at all.
1Have a 2011 Diesel Discovery 4 - been amazing, no real issues (other than an alternator swap, and normal brake discs change). At 125 000kms and going good. My mates LR3 Discovery went till 475 000km
1From owning a late model Disco 4, can confirm the long list of issues is pretty spot on. My favourites were two oil leaks, four coolant leaks, cooked control arms and regular limp modes without any identifiable source of issue. All within about 3000km of ownership. I finally fixed all the issues by selling it and buying another car that was made by ze Germans. Happy to report this fixed all the issues!
1I owned a pretty heavilly modded 2010 Disco 4 HSE for 3.5 years. Daily driven, long road trips with family, and offroading. It's one of the most reliable cars I've owned - in that time, only non-maintenance issue I had was a turbo oil leak that was fixed for about $700. Brilliant car.
1I find some of this hard to believe. The gearbox is ZF, serviced properly, bombproof. The 3.0SDV6 regularly properly serviced, is reliable.
1I've had an HSE D4 since 2014. First year of ownership was a total nightmare. Towed to the dealership every month. Since then, it's been the perfect car - just annual servicing and minor repairs. Toured around most of Australia, towing a 3.5T van. I also do a lot of sand work - Fraser, Rainbow, Moreton, Stockton. It's a limo that goes offroad - no other car in the world does this.
1I've a 2012 Disco 4 SDV6 HSE. Its the only car i've ever brought back home that there was no looks of horror, disapproval from the family. I've done over 80ks in the car since I've owned it 3 years ago, and she has been absolutely rock solid. Never skimp on maintenance, including the daily checks, keep fluid levels in their proper levels, and you'll be fine. Can't say enough good things about the Disco.
1I drive mine like an old person in a Cadillac and still had to drop 10k usd in mine this year... But after new tires and rims, it still looks and feels like a great luxury SUV...
1I’ve owned a 2012 LR4 since new. Most reliable vehicle we’ve ever owned. The Ford derived 5.0L engine is awesome. Had preventive maintenance on timing chains done at 100K I am expecting at least 200K miles out of her.
1I've owned my 2015 (MY16) 3ltr SDV6 SE since new and it's been the best 4wd I've ever owned. It goes EVERYWHERE with style, comfort and ease. I looooove it :)
1You're either a Disco person or you're not. I guess you're not. I have a D3 and a D4 with nearly 700,000km between them. 1 gearbox on the D3 and 1 crankshaft on the D4. But I knew the risks. So much so I am in the process of buying one of the last of the best. A 2016 SDV6 that snapped its crank at 64000km and has been loving rebuilt. I won't drive anything else. Don't buy one if you can't fix it yourself though.
1Went from a 2010 D4 with 263000 km to a v6 amarok, totally devoid of any character, just a car. Got rid of the Amarok to buy another low km D4, I love them. Thanks Land Rover, for turning owners into mechanics for 50 years
1Got a 2014 SE and touch wood, it's been good so far. I did take out a LR Service Plan and Power Up which paid for themselves. Mainly urban driving and 138km on the clock, still drives great.
1Funny, I have a 2010 with 171,234 miles on it. Just do the maintenance and you are fine. Still on the original air springs. Just changed my alternator and the brake vacuum pump for under $500. The best engine is the 5.0 V8 petrol by far, not the V6 supercharged or T Diesel.
1owned 2015 D4 since new, no issues what so ever! with regular servicing. Just replaced lower control arms and thats about it. Best car I've owned
1I've had my D4 for over 3 years and only one issue that the dealer sorted for me when I bought it. 250 thou kms so far, with off-roading and cleaned and serviced lots. Love my Disco! Best car LR have ever made, imo
1Mine has 215,000kms and runs great. Just replaced the air susp. compressor for about $1500, which is completely fine. But I love the truck, the seating position, absurdly good visibility, the looks, etc.
1I’m looking at 2.7l D3/D4’s. beautiful cars. Can’t be worse than my 2017 Dmax I’ve owned since new, serviced every 10,000km and has cost me $20,000 in repairs
