1993 Land Rover Discovery 200TDi review from UK and Ireland
"It's a Land Rover, it's a legend"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wheel bearing failed.
Clutch master cylinder failed.
Hand brake gave trouble until I had it repaired properly.
Other problems have been through neglect by previous owners.
General comments?
As usual I dived in and bought the first one I looked at, it has proved to be reliable mechanically, but rust has got hold. I replaced the rear body crossmember and I am in the process of replacing the driver side sill.
I bought it to use as an every day car, but it was not as economical as I thought it would be.
I now use it for RTV trial events and it has stood up well to the abuse I now give it.
