1997 Land Rover Discovery SD review from North America
"Very capable vehicle, but only if it's properly maintained"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator did give out at about 195,000km.
General comments?
The vehicle hasn't assaulted my pocketbook primarily, I believe, for the reason that I maintain the vehicle according manufacturers recommendations. I have never tried to fool myself in to believing that this will be as cheap as operating a bicycle.
