2001 Land Rover Discovery SE review from North America
"Have fun being a snob who is broken down on the side of the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket.
Radiator.
Rear axle.
Throttle heater.
Driver power seat.
Leaks EVERYWHERE.
General comments?
This car has been the biggest piece of crap I have ever owned!
I have had:
3 Civics
1 Accord
1 300ZX
1 Infiniti J30
1 Pathfinder
1 Jetta
1 Integra
1 Wrangler
And If you put all the problems I've had, and money to fix the problems, combined from all of these cars, it is about half of what I've paid to keep the Discovery running.
These english cars must have been built by the drunks because even with BMW and then Ford owning them, they STILL are a huge pile of crap.
Never buy a Land Rover used or without a warranty. And if you have a warranty, sell it before it expires or you will hate life!!!
