FL2 lost rear drive

The dealer has diagnosed that the knocking noise on our car is due to failure of the angle drive, which means no rwd. A replacement is in the thousands Sad, so this is going to be our first and last LR, after also having had a fuel pump, temperature sensor, and turbo fail.
Seems LR still have lots to do on the reliability side.

What's an angle drive? Are they referring to the transfer box I wonder? Mine was replaced under warranty and they said that it was a £1700 job by the dealer. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

Well i suppose £1700 could be classed as in the thousands?

The bits that break most are the drive train which was a product of the Ford Motor Company. Basically it's a great design but not as tough as people think. For a few quid extra they could have put some beefier components in and made a decent job of it. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

you need to accept that once a Landrover reaches around 5 years old if you don't have a warranty you need deep pockets.

they are programmed to slowly self destruct around 5 years old !!

That may have some truth but I think improper maintenance has a big part to play, personally I don't think that the recommended schedule is sufficient. Just my opinion.
