The D3 is the '..old lady..' Mr. Green

The F-Type is the 'Smurf' Smile

Not at all

More posts about the bad than the good on here nowadays and some with good reason but apart from the worry of the small chance of a catastrophic failure that lingers in the back of my mind there never seems to be a day that goes by when i dont drive my Disco and think what a fabulous motor Thumbs Up

All the time it’s giving you a great feeling when riding it and you don’t mind filling it up it’s very easy to love Thumbs Up

But when it gets that your still filling it up and it’s lost that pleasure it’s given you for years and keeps binging and bonging at you for no reason it’s time to start looking around for a new younger model with a firmer ride Whistle Rolling with laughter Thumbs Up

And for the Disco , I said I’d never have another !! But watch this space Whistle Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

I never really bonded with my D4. Yes it was nice, bit plusher than the D3 and obviously newer but was like wearing new brogues cf old trainers, I know which I prefer. Hence didn’t look back when sold the D4, it was just another car. I did look back when I had to abandon what was left of my D3 after she died. But she gave her last looking after me on yet another daft adventure thousands of miles from home. I miss her still. Big Cry Big Cry

England 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 Landmark LE Auto ZanzibarDiscovery 4

2005 D3 SE - wanted to love it, but it was constantly going wrong so had to go after two and a half years.

2009 D4 HSE - loved it to bits even though it chewed into my wallet occasionally. Kept it for six and a bit years and only let it go because there was still some value in it.

2016 D4 Landmark - want to love it, but just no interest in it. The step backwards in quality has been totally surprising. Considering I love “detailing” our cars and cherish them, this one has been washed more by the dealer than me. Says it all.

No more JLR products for us.

Yes! Almost as soon as I got it I started saving for that "catastrophic failure", and it's always at the back of my mind...

This is the first time that I have had a car that would be worth saving in the event of such a failure - in the past all of my motors have been the type that would simply get scrapped in that situation... In fact my last car was scrapped because the rear door lock broke! Very Happy
