Stranded again!

Yet another nightmare with Land Rover as my vehicle broke down due to a faulty fuel pump, leaving me stranded. So it´s back to the dealership and I am without a car, yet again! Add it to the list of constant problems I have had with this Discovery.

You just stopped me from buying a new Land Rover,

Enquiry:I cannot thank you enough for this site. I have had my concerns out here in spain about the service side of things since i had my Audi RS4. I havd the same issue with that that you are with the Disco. I did some homework and spoke to landrover uk on the basis i wanted to buy a NEW RR but couldnot speak or get through to anyone. They fobed me off. I was STILL MOMENTS AWAY TODAY OF BUYING A LHD RR today, but with this niggle in my mind, then i found this site. Ive just been to look at a BMW X5 in Alicante !!!!

Land Rover cars are a disaster

Enquiry:recently bought a 02 disco. sinc epurchase it has been sporadically throwing out black smoke. Now, she is losing acceleration and wont go above 60mph. Landrover waterford advised i clean the fuel filters. i did so this evening, made no difference. i think this might be the injectors, what do you think? i really need to sort this. how many injectors are in a series 2 engine and is this something i could do myself and if not, ballpark what should a mechanic charge to supply and fit the injectors, if it is the injectors? is it worth my while checking the fuel pump? any assistance appreciated. regards, peter

Land Rover Discovery 3 HSE

I bought my new Land Rover Discovery 3 HSE in May 2009 from official Land Rover Garage in Gibraltar. It only has 9,000 miles on the clock. I have never had any problems with it until now. It had its first full service in May 2010. The vehicle has never been used in rough terrain and has never been in an accident or driven over pot holes. Late December 2010 I started noticing a vibration on the steering wheel whilst at rest. The vibration is a constant purr and is also felt through the interior of the cabin. The vibration is still felt on the steering wheel whilst driving at all speeds. This was never the case as it was a solid and cofortable drive. The engine though appears to be performing well as it does not appear to be misfiring at any revs and responds well. I have taken the vehicle back to Land Rover officil garage in Gibraltar and they have linked the computer on it and have found no faults. They say that they have checked the engine dampers, steering and cam shaft and this are "in order". They have since even replaced the injectors of the vehicle which apparently there was a recall made by Land Rover for my vehicle but the vibration on the steering wheel is still there, felt at rest and whilst driving. I have driven other Discoveries and they do not have this problem. The Land Rover dealership admits that there is something wrong but they do not know whats causing this. They have made an enquiry at the Land Rover Factory but they have still not come back with a reply. Can any of you please help. I take it that any repairs will be covered with the vehicles warranty since it is only a year and a half old. I would appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks Henry J Bautista
