Faults:

Multiple ABS wheel sensors packed it in at various times and great expense. oxygen sensors were also a frequent problem, many Oil leaks in fact this is a constant problem. Transfer case died had to be replaced (thankfully under warranty). Leaky sunroofs, Speed sensor for the transmission went causing annoying hesitation. Electrical problems plagued the power windows, and other systems. Rear door switch was flaky.

General Comments:

A real POS, not as bad as a VW van though close.

This vehicle will kill you with constant repairs and frequent breakdowns.

Faults:

Rear door faulty I am forever having to strip off the door panel to manually slide the mechanism home in order for the door to open.

Cruise control not working although an diagnostic check shows all electrics are working normally.

General Comments:

This is good quality motoring at a very reasonable price. Bought mine from a local dealer and despite its age still looks like its out of the box. Plenty of room for a large family and feels as safe as houses. Maybe not the most practical car I have ever had, but will be most remembered I think.

Faults:

Oil leak since new.

Failed electric windows.

Failed electric moon roofs.

Won't start/leave stranded.

Failed ignition switch.

Premature brake pad wear.

Non-existent customer service.

General Comments:

Bought this car new w/extended warranty. Thought I was buying luxury... instead I bought hassles.

Ultimately, unloaded my 41k car for 6k with only 75k on it. The sad thing is that I got the better end of the deal since ultimately it wasn't worth 6k. It just looked like it was.

Faults:

Minor rust on roof around sky windows (fish oil stopped it). This problem has been remedied in later models.

Alternator failed at 70,000km. Probably as a result of driving the Disco through deep creeks.

General Comments:

Amazing fuel consumption. On a 13,500km trip through the Australian bush, mostly on appalling roads and some heavy sand, the Disco averaged 8.3litres per 100km (34mpg).

The most comfortable car I have driven.

Off-road ability is superb.

Faults:

Drivers headlight goes dim after hot or stormy weather.

Front leather seats wore badly.

Lots of squeaks and rattles.

Alarm pragmatic.

Power steering leaks a little, can't seem to fix.

Original sound system Sucked!

Cruise Control module when out at 130k.

General Comments:

This car is a TANK! Its been thru my dad, mom, and now me (the only son). My dad bought it for him to drive, then my mom took it, now I have it! Its been a great vehicle to drive and drives GREAT for having almost 200k on it. I will keep it til it dies for good. Highly reccomend buying one and seeing what you think!

Faults:

The alternator did give out at about 195,000km.

General Comments:

The vehicle hasn't assaulted my pocketbook primarily, I believe, for the reason that I maintain the vehicle according manufacturers recommendations. I have never tried to fool myself in to believing that this will be as cheap as operating a bicycle.

Faults:

The passenger front seat switch stopped working.

General Comments:

Heard lots of talk about being nickel and dimed to death, but this has been an amazingly reliable auto. In winter it is the best car in snow I have ever owned. Including an Expedition, 4 wheel drive Chevy and Ford Pick-ups. Minor electrical annoyances such as the air conditioning turning off for a few seconds if it is on the highest setting. Change the oil and drive it, unbelievable.
