Do I Jump.............???

[melv]

After one Pajero and two Shoguns and, collectively, 230,000 miles of virtual trouble free motoring, is it time for a change? I have only been let down TWICE, and had to be trucked home, and that was a bearing that maybe I should have replaced on the Pajero before it started wobbling so much and a blown turbo oil cooler pipe!!

The only thing that lets the Shogun down is it's agricultural four pot engine and I DO like the new Disco V6 Diseasal.

Been looking at a used late model SE, or ideally HSE, but will I get the reliability of the Shogun dragging a trailer 60,000 miles per year????

Looking at a low mileage 2YO and then chopping it in within twelve months.

I've noticed one that has dropped £2K in price since I looked at it end of July!!

Your feedback appreciated!!

I did type out a big long reply, but can summarise it as:

If you get a good one, then it'll be every bit as good as a Shogun. If you get a bad one then you're in a world of hurt, mainly from the poor service offered by LR dealers in general. The good point is that at 2 years old you'll still have warranty, which is vital for a Landrover.

I wouldn't want to own one without a warranty, but with a warranty they're great cars. They may go wrong, but usually they're minor faults, so although annoying a quick trip to the dealer will sort it.

Had a disco for nearly a year and not had any probs at all.

Had my new Disco 3 6 months, no issues at all.

I had a Disco 3 as a loan car. It had a gearbox fault appear within in hour. One of the bad one's I guess.

Have you looked at the Land cruiser?
