1997 Land Rover Discovery SE review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Noisy A/C belt, replaced under warranty.
General comments?
At 27,000 km the car has been great.
Wet weather and unsealed roads are no problem. On long trips or 9 hours+ it is very comfortable and induces minimal driver fatigue. City driving requires more effort than usual due to the heavy clutch, but you develop a strong left leg.
