"1997 Discovery : The reason Rover is now bankrupt?"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Oil leak since new.

Failed electric windows.

Failed electric moon roofs.

Won't start/leave stranded.

Failed ignition switch.

Premature brake pad wear.

Non-existent customer service.

General comments?

Bought this car new w/extended warranty. Thought I was buying luxury... instead I bought hassles.

Ultimately, unloaded my 41k car for 6k with only 75k on it. The sad thing is that I got the better end of the deal since ultimately it wasn't worth 6k. It just looked like it was.

FYI - Land Rover were sold to Ford a few years back.

They were not part of MG Rover when they collapsed in April '05, although some Rover components are used in Land Rovers.
