1992 Land Rover Discovery 200 Tdi review from France
"A complete set back for Land Rover"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
-Broken alternator
-Broken peg at the shaft extremity (equivalent of 1 300 British pounds for a 2 pounds original problem!)
-Very dangerous : transmission locked suddenly at the rear due to a broken piece inside! With my kids in the car
-Front bearing wheel destroyed after replacing (spare from land rover)
-Hight oil engine consumption
-Overhead roof leaking
-Broken Overhead roof screw
-Central locking system working when it decided
-Broken front seats
-Broken rear door
-Etc etc.
General comments?
I love British cars (I own 1 Bentley Brook lands-fantastic, 2 mini cooper-unbeatable, 1 MG B-I will never sell it, 1 E Type Jaguar-Thank you Sir Lyons (even with little problems) ), 1 Defender TD 5- Super car for kids.
But this, this Discovery 200 TDi should really be unauthorised to run in europe.
A name is not sufficient. The car was OK when (rarely) running, but still charlie cheap made.
