Land Rover Discovery

generally work use with one trip to cape, and Fraser Island. serviced by JLR Springwood. changed wheels to tuff ant 18". very comfortable to drive, fairly quiet with A/T tyres. very powerful with seemingly endless acceleration. economy is good also, about 8l/100k on long trip average for car average 9.4l/100 km worst is 12.6l/100k.

A stupid primitive money hungry company who would rather make their loyal fan base purchase new vehicles than make their existing ones upgradeable. I have a my12 discovery 4 and my sat nav is obsolete. Cannot upgrade it anywhere. Funnily enough i can still find uograde discs for '05 onwards rr vogue... and sport... Buy a jeep instead don't waste your time with these elitists. Not happy!!!

I bought a 4 year old 2017 Disco 5 last year thinking it would be a great upgrade from our Freelander II. Within 5k of use (at ~70K mileage), the motor completely failed. It requires a new engine that is almost the price I paid for the second-hand vehicle. Apparently, a diesel injector malfunctioned and one cylinder overheated, burning a hold in it; the misshaped cylinder then damaged the head. No faults recorded by the system prior to the failure. The SD4 motor is supposed to be a gem but its a lemon.
February 2022 - it's back in the LR servic...

Bought in 2017 & it’s now 2021 & we are still having problems. It’s already on its 2nd engine & only a few days ago it broke down again. Possibly a 3rd engine. To date it’s been a terrible experience from dealership & Landrover Aus. I will hold back on this occasion to see if any of them come good on this most recent issue. Standby for an update but we are not confident that any of them will come through for us, Landrover have already disputed the extended warranty even though the warranty is with Alliance & they have confirmed we are covered?

I drive a Land Rover Discovery 3 TDV6 SE 2005 model and it is simply superb.
It is safe for your family, brings a smile to your dial and has so many uses.
I use it for work so a daily driver, can move large objects in its cavernous load space. On camping weekends we can sleep in the back and when required I can drive with 6 passangers seated safely.
The Landy takes us off-roading with the club every month and is spectacular on rocks, gravel and sand although steep dunes it struggles because of its weight.

You must service these cars every 10,0...

My Apple car okay has never really worked in my 2019 Disco. The car itself is lovely to drive but the issues I have had are far too many. I cannot get the Apple car play fixed they seem unable to rectify the issue. I am so dissapointed with the cost of the car to have had so many issues with it. Never buy one again and won’t own it much longer. Very very upset

I bought my 2013 Disco a year old and it has been such a wonderful vehicle. It drives beautifully on the freeway, handles windy tar roads with more aplomb than it should and tackles more rough stuff than my nerves can handle. I’ve towed trailer weights I wouldn’t dare in any other car and most of the time a trailer isn’t needed as the wide open boot takes it all.
I’ve done 150,000km in it and it never misses a beat, with the 8sp box it hardly ever sees north of 2000rpm and I’m a lead foot!
Issues: I’ve had the electric brake go, stupidly expen...

People always said LR had lots of issues or problems, but my experiences with LR4 is quite good. I purchased my LR4 brand new from Purnell Land Rover back in 2015. Served my family for almost 6 years, and never had any issues. Super comfort. And thge TDV6 engine is well tuned and bullet proof if you well maintained.

Land Rover are rubbish if you buy one you must be stupid, Land Rover Australia are the lowest form of scum on the planet , I’ve never witnessed such incompetence in manufacturing and sales

Bought this car with 90,000 klms on the clock and 2 years old. It was my daily drive and had it serviced every 10,000 klms as you should any diesel car. Over the 8 years I have owned it has been a fantastic drive but not without its issues. Now has 230,000 klms on the clock and we about to take off on our 2nd trip around Aus towing the 2700kg van. The thing with these cars is you have to look after them, yes they cost money to keep in good condition but the rewards are worth it. I source parts from many different dealers but never from Land Rov...

I bought Disco 5 in 2017,brand new with 3 years manufacturer and 2 years extended warranty.
The problems started within few months and the car was sent for suspension issues and reversing camera fault 5 times!!!!. Been to fair trading and that was a waste. Now the roof has started to leak and i booked for a service check and was informed that i may have to leave the car for few days and " all the loan cars were sold " so no loan car,just UBER vouchers.
What a joke.
Like P T Barnum said "There's a sucker born every minute"
Im the sucker and i hope no one else falls for this scam. Is there no legal action against Landrover?

Can't believe how Land Rover Australia can sell a car with a known engine failure. I have had two major failures after buying within 13000Km. Full air suspension failure and engine balance shaft replacement. I only came to know recently the balance shaft issue is a known issue with some LR diesel engines and that starts with a whining noise and can stop the car while driving. Many cars are not get fixed by the shaft replacement alone eventually required engine replacement.
It's a comfortable car when it's problem free. But can stop your trip anytime.
Search LR Balance shaft on internet for more info.

Have been a Land Rover owner for twenty years. Currently own, since new, a 2012 model with 108000 kms. Serviced as required, Great car to travel in, comfortable. However have recently had to have both turbochargers replaced. On speaking with Land Rover Customer Relationships Executive (twice) I was informed that before Land Rover would consider any action the vehicle would have to looked at by a Land Rover dealership. Both executives agreed turbocharger problems with this model are reasonably common. As I explained to the Executive I am ...

I've owned 6 other 4WDs (Pajero, X-Trail, Triton (2), Hi-lux, & D-Max) and the Discovery 5 is in a class above. Unfortunately, so is the price compared to the others - but it is worth it! We tow a 3200kg caravan and this is the best tow vehicle we've ever had. The 4WD capability is awesome with all the electronics and rear diff lock. Only downside is the need to add AdBlue - it's a pain, and it needs heaps when towing. If you don't tow, don't worry.

I have had the 2017 Discovery 5 for under 2 year 45,000km and has been a disaster. Eight months in and the suspension had to be replaced, would have been a disaster if we were four wheel driving in the outback. 15 months and engine was leaking oil from timing seals yet another stint in the workshop, now a leaking windscreen soaking the car dash and electronics, not just a small leak and seems a common problem as they ordered the windscreen without even viewing the car. Two week wait for windscreen and then repair time. Engine smokes constantly ...
