1995 Land Rover Discovery review from North America
"A Financial Nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced the Alternator twice.
I have replaced the battery.
I have replaced the ignition.
Car has stalled on numerous occasions.
Passenger side door lock does not work.
General comments?
I really loved the way the Discovery looked when I purchased it, however, I have had to put more money in this car in such a short time than any other vehicle I have ever owned.
The engine is great. The cabin is very roomy. The gas mileage is not bad. However, the number of repairs that I have had to make far outnumber the benefits. It has just been one thing after another.
In addition to the price I paid to purchase the truck, I have had to put in over another $2000 in a year's time.
I would NOT buy another Discovery ever again.
