• ChrisJerman - It was a rhetorical question and some of the responses were ambiguous.
  
  It’s probably like the LR, time to move on. I am sure we’ve all got better things to do than bicker on a fo ...

• Why hang onto your Disco 5?

• It’s hardly an emotional response to someone with a different perspective.
  
  More over it’s a considered, rational response to the general reliability of the D5 allied to the lack of LR customer ...

• Why hang onto your Disco 5?

• Sorry, but what you write is full of contradictions.
  
  As for saying if you can’t afford the repairs then maybe this vehicle isn’t for you is complete nonsense! Many of us can afford the repairs ...

• New Here (But Not To The LR Family)

• The engine problem primarily relates, but not exclusively, to the 2lt engine.
  
  As for the milage, it has not direct relevance I am afraid.

• I know!
  
  The first new engine I had took a couple of months to replace under LR warranty.
  
  Just before they handed it back to me, they took it for a test drive, they discovered the drivers window ...

• LR N877 security update

• Fair enough.
  
  I’d avoid Elgin. I found them particularly patronising to the point of insulting. Haven’t a clue about Aberdeen. Just changed days at Inverness, where I knew everyone at one time. ...

• Why hang onto your Disco 5?

• Interesting replies.👍
  
  There’s no right or wrong.

• These are my reasons.
  
  Next years LR warranty is nearly £1,700, a service in May is £799, no doubt the discs and brakes will need renewed, they tend to go every couple of years. LR price £1,600, ...
