Faults:

Leak from the power steering.

Locks stick, but work.

General Comments:

This is a great 4x4 for the person that wants a 4x4 for a lifetime, but likes to maintain a vehicle. They are built heavy duty so they need TLC - grease, oil, and maintenance. Plus a lot of these were pre-owned by soccer moms, and they need to be checked completely over before buying or using.

Faults:

I have had the car three weeks. In those 3 weeks, I have replaced:

Valve cover gaskets due to severe oil leaks.

Timing chain.

Front differential (froze up and left me stranded roadside)

Various hoses.

Thermostat.

Total repairs in 3 weeks of ownership = $4,000.

General Comments:

I bought the car because I wanted a 4 wheel drive for various outdoor/ski trips, and I had read that land rover is a good one. I was debating whether to get a truck, but decided on the Disco since I could carry equipment in the rain without worry. I bought it used, but had it inspected by a mechanic and was told that everything was in pretty good shape except for an oil leak.

I immediately had the oil leak fixed for around $1000. One week later, another leak developed... another $1000. Then they said I needed a new timing chain, various hoses, and a thermostat for another $1000. Last weekend the front differential broke leaving me stranded on the road side. Tow + repairs = $2000. That's an expensive three weeks!

I commute to work by train, so during the week the car just sits there and is not drive. So probably it has only been driven 4 days since I have owned it. The future does not look good...

The car is comfortable, fun to drive, and nice, but very poorly made. And repairs are so expensive, which just adds insult to injury. If I could do things differently, I would buy another Japanese car.

Faults:

Power Seat switches came out of middle console.

Brake Pads & Rotors had to be replaced.

Auto-Dim Rear View Mirror needs to be replaced (air pocket in the liquid)

Minor leak in Sunroof.

General Comments:

This car is probably one of the best I have owned.

I can drive 3 hours (freeway) on a quarter of a tank... approx. 200miles.

EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE.

Acceleration is faster 0-60mph than lets say 40-60mph.

Tow up to 6000lbs, however, if going up a steep hill with 6klbs... feels sluggish.. maybe 40mph max. (disappointing, but then again, it's only a 4.0)

Very spacious cabin, a PLUS if you have family/friends who are 6feet or more.

VERY FEW blind spots, you really see everything around you (COMMAND VIEW)

GREAT FACTORY stereo. Far better than many others I have had.

For a 1998, 150k mile engine vehicle... everything is running great. A few minor problems have occurred, but they're just that.. MINOR.

I would buy another one in a HEARTBEAT.

Faults:

Water tank started leaking after 10,000 miles and had to be replaced.

Power steering failed after 27,000 miles and was repaired soon afterwards, when I was fed up of the heavy steering.

CD player stopped ejecting after 39,000 miles and was replaced too.

Power steering failed again after 46,000 miles and had to be replaced for the second time.

General Comments:

Comfortable, practical and good to drive. But fairly expensive to run and reliability only average at best.
