Strong manwill never forget towing a race car in germany with my fist several years ago now - late for the tunnel at silly 3 digit speeds for miles like there wasn’t even a trailer on the back
not many family cars can do that

Well my disco 3 is at 177k miles but has had the T/C refurbed at £400 and engine repair after cam chain tensioner failed £1500 . The later would not of happened had I serviced it at main stealers as there was an update on the tensioner that never got done .People calling cars reliable when they haven't done even 120k miles. ? Truth is, that every car should be easily able to do 100k miles with basic service and swapping wearing parts. 200k miles is a pretty good mark for a car to earn the "reliable" status.
RR is just too expensive. I'd rather have a Mercedes and have more reliable miles, less depreciation and less visits to the dealers workshop. I'd never own a RR out of warranty, but Mercedes i would.
you could have 50 and you'd be lucky nearly all suffer from the same issues , having said that I am using one now that belonged to a member on here that had been off the road for 11 years but as has been said Land Rover making mechanics out of drivers for 50 yearsWith all that you might be able to cobble a working one together?
Or is it something to do with the quality of bought in components where the manufacturer dictates to the supplier how much profit they canWhat’s odd is my fist vogue was one of the first of the current shape - i did 60k miles over 3 years and didn’t miss a beat - a friend had one at the same time and his was terrible and had lots of problems so bad that land rover eventually took it back !
My second one (which you would think would be better after 3 years experience building them) was a complete dog - engine has been our 3 times and lot of other problems
how can that happen in a modern production line ? the concept of a Friday afternoon car just should not be possible these days ?
just seems to be pot luck with land rover getting a good or a bad one !

Mercedes are not what they used to be ,in bed with too many other manufacturers you think you have Just purchased a Mercedes and you have bought a Renault or even a Nissan ! And they don’t even build I’m in Germany much now , just across the border.People calling cars reliable when they haven't done even 120k miles. ?
