Sure mate just keep telling yourself that while you sleep in it after your wife divorces you for buying an unreliable moneypit Park in any bad neighborhood and people think you are a drug dealer or pimp... From the article "Engines: On the TDV6 and TDV8 diesels, the crankshaft is known to fail. Some last 20k miles, but some 200k, and owners recommend regular servicing and letting the car warm up before driving to help boost longevity. Electrics: There are a lot, they're all complicated and they're known to intermittently glitch out. From boot switch to brake light, nothing is immune from failure although it's not a foregone conclusion. Gremlins can vary between a £20 switch and a far more expensive rewiring. Post-2016 cars are best. Gearbox: All versions use the eight-speed ZF unit. Owners recommend servicing every 50,000 miles to keep it in good health. Body: The Range Rover lettering on the bonnet is known to tarnish and Land Rover will charge £250 to fit new badges. Or you can do it yourself for £10. Check absolutely everywhere for evidence of off-road knocks and parking dings both likely. Chassis: This is a heavy machine and that can take its toll on the suspension. Track control arms are a common fail point; budget £700, including labour, to replace." So engines with reliability that British Leyland would have been ashamed of during the late 70s, electrics worse than an 80s Italian car and a chassis with land rover built to fail weak components Nothing new there then..... I thought apple computers were cult like.....land rover is less the moonies and more Jonestown massacre submitted by /u/HalfFrozenSpeedos [link] [comments]
