Welcome.

Firstly a lot of the major engine issues revolved around the 2L diesels. The 3L models are a different fish.

I use that term jovially, because there are a few recurring faults and issues with most D5, the most common seems to be leaking windscreens and the potential knock on effects with wet electronics.

A wander through the faults and fixes section of this forum may give you things to discuss with the vendor and check with 3rd...

Genuinely don't know the answer to that question. They perhaps do, upon inspection maybe. But sounds more likely that you'd end up with a third-party warranty.

I'm sure they are also decent, I've just sat waiting for my car to be serviced too many times and heard the faff that a third party warranty causes in the service dept., as they don't have the same knowledge of it, how it works, and what it's going to cover, which has always put me off. With the LR warranty (which is...

Thanks for the welcome and info unfortunately I can’t afford something within the timeframe for LR warranty ie approved used from a dealership. Can a LR warranty be bought through LR for a used car bought outside their network of approved used? Looking at this

Firstly, welcome!

Plenty to read on here, but I'd just say, the horror stories on here show one side of the picture, and there's plenty of people who don't come on forums and post, who've not suffered the same experiences.

I don't want to curse myself, but on my second D5 (been driving them since 2018), and the 3.0 litre diesel engines I've had both times have been solid. I wouldn't buy or want to own a car with the smaller diesel engine, as my bro-in-law...

Hi folks in the research stage of considering a Disco5. Wouldn’t be my first Land Rover I had a S3 swb back in 1987/88 and have liked Land Rover over many years.
