1995 Land Rover Discovery review from Malta
"Good performance, Poor quality control"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced shocks at 43000 Miles (We Have very bad roads)
Very poor rubbers (Side windows rubber replaced every 2 years (Also due to hot climate)
Dash board replaced by dealer after first year (glue used was not suitable for hot climates)
Doors central locks replaced several times (Cheap replacements proved better then the original)
Rear electric windows do not always operate (Problem was a dry joint in unit under glove compartment)
Small problems which I fix myself.
General comments?
If you are a D.I.Y men you may cope with this car.
I never replace parts, but repair them.
Have to have some friends who knows how to fix things to save money.
