Still Breaking Down

In a 50km round trip the cars computer system shutdown 4 times, forcing the car to park up on the hard shoulder of the motorway, waiting for the system to reset itself. This is a common fault of my Land Rover Discovery 3, but it has never happened 4 times in a row before!

The experience was very dangerous at sometimes the car was in the outside lane and as soon as the problem occurred the engine cut, then I had to drift to the inside lane with now power whilst avoiding the traffic.

Land Rover has asked me to take it too the dealer, but will not confirm if the inherent repairs will be covered under warrant, even though it is due to what I think is a software malfunction, which they have never been able to fix in the past!

This car just has the ability to keep breaking down, and has now seriously made me consider if I can rely on it to undertake any journey what so ever.

This is unbeleivable!

How can Land Rover be happy to let you live with this vehicle, you have only had it 30 months and it appears to be un road worthy! I would never buy one!

It's probably no secret that LR aren't quite up wi

It's probably no secret that LR aren't quite up with the Japanese in build quality but every manufacturer sends out a duffer once in a while. I have to commend you for sticking up for something you believe in, too many people let it pass when something isn't up to scratch and it's only through complaining that things get better and standards improve. I must say I'm relieved that you don’t drive a Renaultsport Megane though - there are a few in the fleet here where I work and it's a standing joke that you'll spend more time in the Modus courtesy car. As for something well built.....over the years I've had 10+ early nineties Granada Scorpios and they seem totally bombproof. Currently one (a 2.0) is on 270,000 Miles and the other (a 2.9) is up to 235,000. Too bad they were never replaced........

LR is negligent in making the damn thing.

As has been mentioned, LR products are well known for poor reliability (there will be one or two who will pop up on here and swear by them, but thats not been the experience of the majority) To have spent that much money and not done your homework comes over as negligent on your side as much as LR is negligent in making the damn thing. Probably why the lack of sympathy. I suspect your stuck with it or a huge loss as offers to buy it off you are very poor right now. Anyway, my advice now would be to park it in a quiet layby and set fire to it, your insurer isn't going to be too shocked at an LR with an apparent electrical fault. Get you money back and buy a Toyota or something.

avoid Land Rover like the plaque!!!!

Buy German, Japanese avoid Land Rover like the plaque!!!! The DISCOVERY WILL LET YOU DOWN BIG TIME!!!!!!
