[QUOTE="Longlowdog, post: 6530615, member: 395"] Disco S1 broke seat bases every 2k, rusted inside a year. 3 x Freeloaders, early one put piston outside of engine block, next one had dog in back and tried to lower rear window only to discover on motorway the only way to put window back up was for it to go all the way down, it then started having electrical gremlins. 3rd one came with broken air con, failed abs and wheels out of balance. TD5 defender produced blue smoke inside 3k miles and was in the repair centre for 12 weeks of the one year I owned it. Sold it at an £8k loss complete with winch, sound proofing, up rated shocks and laser cut checker plate everywhere. When it was in my loaner was a Kia Pride till I complained then they HIRED me a Disco for which I had to sign saying no offroad, towing, dogs or livestock in. My former dealers in Kendal were great and tried really hard to make a fist of what they were given, the dealers in Elgin and Aberdeen were cupid stunts who were not interested if you were not buying a RR Autobiography as a third car. My 300 TDI and my 88'' 2A are the last cars from that stable I had any faith in to travel further than my wife could drive in an hour in her Patrol to pick me up when the LR p.o.s would break down. 40k for a new base model Defender, you're having a laugh, aren't you? I could have something from Asia with a 7 year warranty that I wouldn't need for that sort of money. [/QUOTE]
