1999 Land Rover Series 2 review from North America
"I still love my Land Rover"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had horrible problems with this car. It has been a money pit. I have owned this car for 8 months and have already had to put almost 5000 in repairs. Just to replace the side mirror cost 110. The head gasket cost 2000 to replace. I also had to spend 1400 replacing the ABS valve modulator. The dealership charges an unbelievable amount of money for repairs so if you can actually find a garage that is willing to touch a rover (which is few and far between). The best possible situation is to order your parts online so that you don't get ripped off. My interior is breaking. A skinny 19 year old girl tried to close the sunroof and it broke the plastic handle right in half. There had been a knocking sound (a screw came loose) and had to get it towed. The gas mileage is out of control.
General comments?
There is a lot of cup holders, but only about 2 are usable.
