Early D3 is not a car i would consider purely based on their reliability. The D2 isnt miles better but i can fix them myself and lets face it, its a proper Land Rover.
It is, true, I passed my test in a series 1, hill starts for learners in Gibraltar were ‘character building’…have loved the unreliable sods ever since.
Have had them all, in various states of decrepitude, (not the newer ones, obviously) currently (not) running a P38 and looking for a second vehicle.
Thought, still thinking about, moving into the modern world with a discovery 3…but this very well maintained, low mileage 2 is tempting me to stay in the world where Landrovers could be fixed with an adjustable spanner, a screwdriver and hammer…and blood sweat and tears.
I know the later model 2s are a bit more complicated…but compared to the 3s?
Seems they have so many sensors they can evaluate the stink of your fart.
10k is a lot for an old car but I could pay the same, or more, for a newer three with the same, if not more mileage.
But to be honest, it’s got the same shape and colour of the best car I ever had, so emotion is going to win the day.
Just wanted to be sure there wasn’t the horrendous issues connected to other LR models.
Thank you, and to others who have passed their thoughts and opinions, appreciated.
