2000 Land Rover Discovery S review from North America
"As loved as the family pet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lifters needed replacing.
Transfer box was leaking.
Wiper blade came off in the rain and scratch the windsheild.
General comments?
The best thing about buying a Land Rover was the generous warranty. We have never had any problems in correcting issues we found and were amazed that the dealership pointed out areas that needed to be addressed while under warranty.
This is one heavy vehicle as the gas gage will attest. My neighborhood's gas station attendant and I are now on a first name basis. Premium unleaded gas only... bit of irony here as this machine is made to tackle the most difficult and remote terrain and should run on swamp water!
The fact that the Discovery comes with almost every option in the book as standard, the double sunroof is fantastic.
We run to our Disco to see who gets to drive it when we're together! A complete pleasure, very comfortable and tons of room (3 people, luggage, an 8-person oval shaped teak patio table with 6 teak chairs, Thanksgiving leftovers, 1 potato launcher (another story all together:) ) and jars of preserves).
We pledge allegiance to our Land Rover and in Land Rover we trust.
