LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SE7
| | Model of the car: | LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SE7 | | | General comments: | I AM TELLING MY EXPERIENCE THROUGH A WOMANS EYES WHO KNOWS VERY LITTLE ABOUT DRIVE TRAINS, SPARK PLUGS AND TECHNICAL STUFF... BUT I CAN ONLY TELL YOU ABOUT MY 8 YEAR EXPERIENCE WITH LR...
I HAVE HAD MY LR SINCE 1996. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND SINCE 2000, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT HUGE PROBLEMS AND BIGGER BILLS FROM IT. IN 2000 MY ENGINE BLEW UP, AND BEFORE THAT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE EVERY HOSE IMAGINABLE ON IT. NOT TO MENTION THE WAIT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A 45 MINUTE OIL CHANGE...
A MONTH AGO I HAD TO REPLACE MY MASTER CYLINDER...THE PART COST WAS $489 AND IT TOOK 3 HOURS TO PUT ON...BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET A LR MECHANIC TO PUT IT ON AFTER HOURS AT MY HOUSE...SO I SAVED @ $200 ON LABOR.
THE DRIVE IS OKAY, VERY ROUGH... ITS "WORK" TO DRIVE THE LR "WORK" TO STOP "WORK" TO CLIMB IN AND OUT OF THE SEAT...I AM 5'4" AND I TIRE FROM HAVING TO CLIMB IN AND OUT OF IT WHEN I HAVE SEVERAL STOPS TO MAKE ...AND MANEUVARING IN TRAFFIC IS A WHOLE OTHER STORY! IN OTHER WORDS, ITS NOT THE TRUCK YOU JUST WANT TO ZIP UP THE STREET IN, ITS DOES BETTER ON LONG TRIPS, I HAVE NEVER TAKEN IT OFF ROAD SO I WOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT...
ALL AND ALL I WOULD DO IT AGAIN BUT NOT KEEP THE GHOST (LR) 'TIL THE BITTER END....(lol) | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS HEAD LAMPS | | | Previous car: | ESCALADE EXT- MORE PICK UP AND GO, BETTER INTERIOR THAN THE LR. THIS WILL BE MY NEXT VEHICLE.
MB ML 500- BETTER SUITED FOR A WOMAN THAN THE LR. LOWER TO THE GROUND NICER FEEL DRIVES LIKE A CAR... |
