| Purchased vehicle in july it has been looked at and repaired 8 times. twice to the dealer, the second time they told me it had a cracked engine block and would cost 10,000 to replace the engine(that's what i paid for the car). the first time it was there for an inspection they told me in 2002 they replaced the radiator and 2005 it was there for overheating issues. the coolant fluid would not stay in and kept leaking. it constantly overheated and when i drove it off the lot, before i even got home the check engine light came on. it's being held at a repair shop that the dealer took it to because i can't afford to pay them to fix what they say is wrong with it and i thought the dealer was going to fix it. i myself have spent over 1,000 on it in repairs and have been riding the bus for 3 weeks now. *tr | |||

| I have a 2000 land rover discovery, which i love and despite that my vehicle has been in the shop many times, (almost every few months) i still love my truck, so i bought my husband one also, he has a 2001 land rover, but just recently i had to have my vehicle towed to the dealership. and i was told my engine sized and i have to replace the heads or the complete engine, this was all caused from a coolant leak in my throttle body, and the vehicle never gave a warning that my engine was running to hot or to cold, that is why there is a gage on the dash to provide this information. and now my husband has a 2001 land rover discovery and he is have the same problems, vehicle only has 79,000 miles on it . and no-one at land rover will help. i am so very upset. *jb | |||

| This vehicle has caused us a lot of inconvenience. the recent accidents (within two weeks of each other) have also caused us to lose confidence in the vehicle, let along the financial losses. we are afraid of driving the vehicle. the manufacturer and the dealer refused to acknowledge the seriousness of the problem simply because there was no injury. twice the rear suspension failed to work, causing the rear side of the vehicle to sink dangerously low. i almost lost my life while driving at approximately 40 mph one sunday morning because the vehicle lost total control: steering wheel froze and the brake failed to work. one week after the vehicle was released from the dealer, the vehicle died in the middle of high way, causing major triffic jam. | |||
