Welcome Richard Despite modern Landrovers being regularly slated for unreliability https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/a...chdog.html Older models arent too bad. I've had two Discovery 1 (200TDI, 300TDI), one Discovery 2 (TD5), three Freelander 1 and three Freelander 2. All were second hand or Ex-demo and none have caused me a major issue that needed long periods at the dealership. The 300TDI blew a clutch slave cylinder seal whilst caravanning up north but I was able to buy a new one and replace it the next day on the caravan site. The Td5 got stuck in reverse once due to an electrical fault when it was quite new - sorted under warranty. The first Freelander 1 had a new IRD unit under warranty. All the other Freelanders have been fine apart from a single electrical glitch ( I think) in the current FL2 which corrected itself. I had more issues with my BMW E91 which had several visits to the dealers over electrical problems - the most irritating being the adaptive headlights which would occasionally jam facing the wrong way and you had to stop and turn the engine off to reset them - the problem was never resolved during the 5 years I had the car despite replacing all the headlights modules (appox £2500) under warranty twice.

I found a great video done in English by a german guy with a Disco 3. He does loads of miles in it with his family and really likes it and recommends IF

The latest Which report again has a pop at LR reliability, LR pointed out that their survey replies covered only 0.18% of cars sold in the UK and it was therefore not representative in concluding the cars were unreliable, I wonder if their favourite far eastern cars had a reply rate the low whether they would report the results or just state there were too few replies my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis
