Discovery Sport

Looking at changing my Freelander for a second hand Discovery Sport it would be from a Land Rover dealer due to the warranty but are they as bad as people say. Are the engines that bad that they are all going to fail or is there a year better than others.

I had the Haldex problem on my freelander I contacted Land Rover direct and got 50% towards the cost, I do a bit of towing the freelander has been fine not sure the Discovery Sport with the engine problems would be as good. I have also looked at the VW Toureag which it's said can tow 3.5 tonnes but to do this it needs an expensive cooling fan swap which is ridiculous as its advertised that it can tow.
I would have thought the Haldex problems would have been sorted on by now with w just the newer engines that had the problem, I think I may keep the Freelander or look at something elsewhere maybe Jeep or Ford.
Thanks for the reply.

I contacted Land Rover directly as my warranty had run out, it had been in with a Haldex problem I think it was cleaned out new seals fitted. The last time I think I paid £450 towards the cost it's seems to have worked, it's done just over 50,000 miles now I've had it for 4 years and just fancied a change I didn't think it would be this hard to find something.

There's a Ford edge just come up for sale at a dealers near me I'll take a ride over and have a look but these seem to have gearbox problems, everything seems to have problems just the luck of the draw if you get one with a problem.
