1992 Land Rover Discovery TDI 200 3 door review from Spain
"A pity, a good car but with pathetic build quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1st, 2nd and 3rd gear synchros worn (40000km).
Head gasket (55000km).
Front brake discs (60000km).
Clutch release lever (90000km).
Rear axle central triangle ball-joint (100000km).
Lots of noises and disadjustments in the inside.
General comments?
Fine off-roading, exceptional mileage for the weight, but terrible reliability and very expensive parts.
The interior of the car is very badly built, some pieces are just impossible to adjust.
