1993 Land Rover Discovery review from Australia and New Zealand
"Fantastic car and a hobby too"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator hose went after 20,000 of use. Not bad really.
Leaks oil, but you can fill it up quicker than it comes out.
A/C broke within 5 months of use. Feeble anyway for size of vehicle.
General comments?
A fantastic car which was bought for peanuts. The V8 pulls like a tractor and will tow anything, including a tractor come to think about it.
I run the car on both petrol and LPG and it runs excellently on both.
Very comfortable on long hwy trips and can just as happily turn off road and drive you across the odd Australian desert.
Most bits are easy and cheap to fix. The engine can be temperamental and I think it is a matter of luck whether you get a good or bad one.
Stylish looking, it still turns heads and you know driving it that you can go anywhere, more than you can say about a BMW X5.
