1995 Land Rover Discovery review from Australia and New Zealand
"Unreliable, unreliable, unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil leaks, oil leaks, oil leaks. Oil leaked from the engine, transfer case, rear differential. The camshaft wore out, the suspension failed, it would stop running intermittently, you name it. This vehicle spent more time in the workshop than on the road, I would suggest anyone considering buying one of these things checks out the dealers loan car well, you'll get to drive it regularly!
General comments?
These things are a joke, I thought these vehicles were quality however quickly learned otherwise. I have now once again bought a new Nissan Patrol, and once again am having a good run.
