Ivano83's review of Land Rover Discovery TD5 XS

“worst vehicles ever!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Ivano83 on 22/05/2017

Hands down one of the WORST ownership experiences ever. I don't know where to start. We bought the vehicle 2 years ago to tow trailers loaded with skateboard ramps all over the country. We paid £4500 for the vehiclewith 150k miles and in 2 years must of spent over 10k...yes 10k in repairs.
Everything that could go wrong did, except the actual engine and it thanked us by catching fire a couple of weeks ago whilst driving it and burnt to a crisp near the M11 in Essex.
Whilst it was actually running it made a rubbish tow vehicle, mainly due to a lack of steering lock (worst ever!) and had tendancy to start dangerously weaving at 60 mph with a trailer on. We towed the same trailer with a transit and never had the same issue.We converted the suspension to shocks and springs but still had same problem.
Also, it seemed to develop a new 'special feature' every week with bits falling off or stopping working like window switches and climate control which conveniently blew hot air on your feet all summer.The interior is similarly poor with nothing where you want it and NOT user friendly
I would only recommend buying one of these if you are stupid, rich, a patriotic fool or all 3 of the above. AVOID like a STD....
