[QUOTE="Chips, post: 6999474, member: 432"] 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 . I am also on my second 2nd hand RRS , neither of which have given any mechanical issues over 80k miles , previous to the RRS we had audi's 1st one needed a complete new gearbox at 8k just out of warranty, with no good will offered , managed to trade it in for another Audi, this one spat an injector out but luckily was within warranty , when warranty expired traded again for another Audi which had the engine rebuilt 3 times in 8 weeks as they couldn't get it right , the valves kept hitting the pistons ! So I think Land rover is just as reliable or unreliable as any premium car , the more complex something is the more it will go wrong . Plus the RRS was 1st for least depreciating car [URL]https://www.autocar.co.uk/slideshow/what-are-least-worst-depreciating-cars#10[/URL] which is probably the biggest cost to ownership . So while Land rovers are certainly not cheap cars to run there are no worse than others and easily one of the nicest to drive with the bonus of supporting British Manufacturing [/QUOTE]
