Title: D3, Build quality & reliability?
Post by: johnte on July 18, 2009, 21:45:27

I was thinking of getting one (after a disastorus series2 Disco V8) are they improved, or should I go for L322 - or even a X5 :->

Go for it.

Every vehicle has problems, and these are usually all we hear, the exception to this is Landrovers, the enthusiast base tells us about the good things as well.

Very few problems reported with the D3's

Just can't make my mind up - D3 or RR .....  The D3 would be more practical, but the Range Rover has more (in my opinion) style. My head says D3 but my heart is saying RR (after a morning driving one at Land Rover Experience) although I wouldn't be able to afford the V8 diesel.. :drool: :drool:

That V8 Diesel is a STONKING engine :drool: :drool: :drool:

I've driven several, mainly in the RR Sport and its amazing how fast you can get and how quickly you can get there!!

I would loose my licence very quickly with one of them!!

Couldn't agree more, I was also amazed at the off road capabilities of the RR helped by the Terrain Responce - "Unstopable"

When we got out, the wife asked "How much"..................   "£72,000"  :doh:
