2006 Land Rover Discovery TDV6 HSE review from UK and Ireland
"Great, but build quality is awful, dealer never seems to get them all fixed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mirrors didn't fold in/out a couple of times.
Mirrors don't always reset after switching from reverse back to drive, they remain in the downward position.
Front passenger seatbelt broken, doesn't go back in correctly - waiting for replacement.
Damaged leather on passenger door - waiting for replacement.
Bluetooth phone didn't work - now fixed.
Front sunroof shade was broken, was not in runners - it went into dealer and came out unfixed - friend fixed it!
Middle and rear sunroof shades don't stay closed, something wrong will have to be fixed.
Roof rails have discoloured, well gone blotchy - will have to get fixed.
Car lost all power when setting off - just happened the once so far.
General comments?
Front seats take a bit of getting used to, headrests cannot be altered so it makes getting comfy difficult sometimes. The headrests should have been made to be altered as required.
Have alpaca leather and it gets dirty very easily and quickly, centre console is already pitted and I am not a farmer and do bathe frequently.
7 seats is great.
Lots of room, comfortable, drives very well and to be honest I love the car.
The only problem are the number of lingering small faults as listed.
