I'm on my fourth and see no reason why it their won't be a fifth, even had a new gearbox fitted FOC out of warranty. Especially when I hear reports of Korean vehicles with five year warranty and are having new wheels fitted at a year old, suspension parts at regular intervals and they say its ok as it's in warranty p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior |

Oh come on, any car can fail - it's daft to write off an entire make because of one failure. I can show you a VW of about the same age which recently needed a new engine (costing a lot more than 1,500) after the tip came off one of the glow plugs and fell into the cylinder. Would you write off all VWs on the basis of that one failure?

Think yourself lucky! I've just read on the Disco3 site of one member who, despite having a used vehicle warranty, had to shell out £6,200 of his own money on a new engine for a 2006 model with just 80,000 miles on the clock. The bill for the engine came to £9,200 but his warranty only stumped up £3,000. He also shelled out another £2,000 while it was in there on other jobs. He had to take out a loan for the repairs IN ADDITION to the £15K finance loan he already has on it. I'd have set fire to it! Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

There's a lot to be said for going the PCP route and changing cars when they're 3 yrs old. At least they're always under warranty! |

Haldex coupling and pump but plenty of minor issues before this . Before retirement had company cars for 30 years and changed every 2 years with over 70,000 on the clocks and never had the problems I had with 18,900 miles of Freelander 2 motoring. Main dealer trying to pull a package together to change it for a new SD but as my dealer said sales are so good losing one customer is a minor issue. Bill |

Anything to do with most of these miles being done with a caravan on the back? |

Sounds like the dealer are probably making your feelings even worse by their attitude.

our first FL was PCP - dealer refused to honour 3 year warranty after first year, "too many miles sir", handed it back early and paid the penalty, after paying for two clutches, the gearbox and diff so noisey that Sabbath on full volume would drown them out at 30MPH. Apparently the centre coupling had failed taking the gearbox, rear diff, tyres! & propshaft - this despite being dealer serviced 4 times a year. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner |
