1996 Land Rover Discovery ES review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transfer gearbox had to be replaced and then subsequently leaked oil.
Turbo failed due to rubber pipe collapsing - took nearly two weeks for them to find and fix this.
Corrosion on rear bumper.
The cruise control meanders +/- 5 mph but I live with this!
General comments?
Very relaxing car to drive despite its performance and noise shortcomings. High seating position is also great for kids. Excellent towcar. Built like a tank.
