Re: Disco 3/4 owners did you know about this madness???
There nice cars for sure but they were voted the most unreliable car on the road i think a while back. my brother has a D3 and loves it but landrover has it more than he does! a company we contract to has had discos for years got his D3 18 months ago new and is on its second engine and has had loads of electrical faults!!!!
I had a 300 TDI new on a P plate, did 80k in it with out a single fault, LR have lost there way in the reliability stakes IMO. |

I've driven the veriouse disco models and I have to say i like mine. The recent disco have got too much electronic in them and everything is run by the car not the driver. After working on the disco 3 I don't like it as there is always a new fault that you end up chasing them down. By the way if anyone has got one and it's getting near 3 yrs old you will need to change the parking brakes soon as they can when they wear out come on by themselves and lock on. Not good when going up the motorway.

Re: Disco 3/4 owners did you know about this madness???
Yeah, the whole parking brake thing on the Disco 3 is really stupid.... it has a plastic part that wears out really quickly leading to the brake coming on. Frickin' electromechanical mechanism too - what's wrong with a cable?

Re: Disco 3/4 owners did you know about this madness???
Oh they have a cable. It's under the centre consol and it's there to release the park brake in emergency. Like when it goes wrong and sticks on. Lol.
A real pig to sort out.
