I have had my Discovery 4 3.0 HSE for a year now. Absolutley love the car. Super comfortable and has been very useful in the recent cold snap on untreated roads! However, at its latest MoT I have just landed a nearly £2.25k bill for new rear brakes, new propshaft, new starter button - had...

Thank you. Am off to Scotland next week so will take photos and post them here. I will try to find the service guide. And will stick to it!

Cheers!!

Thank you - sound advice.

Yes, this is a bit "flowery"....but I can see past the nonsense here.....

Thanks, the belts were done 2022. Warrenty does cover crank issue, although I have asked them to confirm. I think that the SE Tech includes front parking sensors and a better satnav? Sort of middle ish range, I think. Why dont you like the sales pitch?

Hi, so the motor I was looking at up in Sterling fell through for a variety of reasons. Slightly gutted, but also dodged a bullet. I am now looking at this one - https://www.vertumotors.com/used-car/3335017/land-rover-discovery-3.0-sdv6-se-tech-5dr-auto-diesel-station-wagon/ 81k on the clock...

Wee update. Dealer got the MoT done that I wanted. Looks like there was a couple of issues, one was break pipe corrosion. I have decided to walk away. Sad as this motor ticked a lot if boxes, but might have been a bit of a nail.

Absolutely. It’s weird I just don’t get these wind up merchants.

I I did take a very detailed look at this, inside, outside and underneath. No errors reported on code reader too. Couldn’t see any issues. Car drove fine. It’s got full history and only two owners. However, it’s my first Landy, so who knows….

Which thread was this? Can you give me a link please? When I looked underneath I couldn’t see any rust. I call BS on this….

I will look into this. If it is an ex staff car is it a bad thing?

Hi, I Genuinely don’t know. Do you recognise it?
