I think this is one of the most comprehensive appraisal of a vehicle. The presenter is leaving no stone unturned. I like this very much. Thank you indeed.

I drove an LR4 loved it it's better than any Jeep better than any Ford and it got better gas miles on road and off road and it handles a lot better than both of them

Thanks goodness I watched this vid, and most of the owners are commenting on your accuracy. I was looking at getting a preowned LR4, but this has changed my mind based solely on what parts will cost here in South Africa. Great vid, and super entertaining too lol

Update - avoid any older Discovery 4 with side steps, running boards, rock sliders etc. . These are a moisture trap beneath the plastic lower sill trim and the body bottom side sills.

This is great! Thanks for sharing. I own a 2005 LR3 and I just bought a 2011 LR4. That should let you know that I really love these cars. Having owned the LR4 for 15 years, I am indeed familiar with the maintenance issues that come with these vehicles as I have experienced a good deal of them. Fortunately, I do have a mechanic who has become familiar with the car through me. With that said, I wish I had seen this video before I bought my 2011 LR4.

Your right on point with all the issue this car has but when all is good this car is a beast!

This is great, its excellent way to review a car. Exactly what I wanted to see. Thanks!

I have an '08 LR3 with the 4.4L V8 and it is currently at 208k mi (335k km). This video is extremely accurate from my experiences with my LR3. The only thing not mentioned is that the 4.4L V8 has a tendency to crack thermostat housings and they are an absolute pain to replace. I just did mine and nothing about it was easy but it could cost $950 or more from a mechanic because of where the housing is on the engine. Definitely do a thorough inspection of the vehicle before buying and if possible find an LR specialist to look it over before you buy it, this is what I did. The LR3 will serve you well if you take care of it in return and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Owner of a 2010 Lr4. 3.0 diesel and Your review is spot on many small issues with the car all repair bills not inc. fuel and tax over the last two and a half years are over 8k. My car is a low spec GS no sunroof less stuff to go wrong. I still enjoy owning and driving this vehicle. Seeing the depreciation and faults on much newer 4x4 SUV’s eg. A mate recently had 22k hit after three years owning a 2014 RR Sport when trading in for a newer RR Velar. Makes my running costs feel almost reasonable for owning the same brand of car. I enjoyed your review very much.

I own a LR3 2006 since 2008, great video, I hava about every problem imaginable that you talk about. Keep post please

I really appreciate this video, thank you for investing so much time and giving us so much information about the Discovery!

Amazing details and presentation. Today's Haynes Manual 👌

Thank you!!!! Very much . This was a very in-depth analysis of the problems that Disco 3-4 can potential have.

and one of the best reviewers i've seen here

You never stop to surprise us with your reviews!

Great review!👍I have the 4.4 V8 from 2005.... it is a good car and exactly what I need. I am driving it now for 6 years ...the most expensive repair was the air compressor, because I had to go to LR to change it. At 100.000 miles I had to change the O-rings for the injectors, no big deal... in fact the car is so good, that we decided to keep it forever! I am quite confident that it will survive another 15 years and then it will be already an oldtimer. This I wouldn't have told about my Audi A6 ... the worst car in my life!

Very insightful review -- I have owned three Land Rovers and can attest that you know your business!

Really great video as allways, especially the graphics and animations

Great video. Very informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work.

Love the video... funny, entertaining and informative

Wow this video is underrated, awesome points!

Good review... Had my D3 V8 HSE since 2019. Only minor issues so far are 1. Power steering leakage due to worn out gasket. This cost me +-$80 incl labor 2. Water leak into the cabin from left pillar. Still havent figured about the cause. 3. "Transmission Fault, HDC Inoperative,Special Programs Off" message for 2 weeks now. Will take it for the repairs in 2022. Other than these I m happy with the 2 years of ownership of this beast. Best offroader and onroader.

What a Great Video- Thank you!

You sound like Nikolay Tanev 🤔😁 btw as always excellent video 😊🤙

you have forgot to mention one important thing about 3.0 D V6 engine issues, inlet manifold crack that will happen on every 3.0D engine.. sooner or later, intercooler housing can crack and IC hoses can have a leak.. alternators are often broken

I Love your videos keep it up,,, When is part 3 coming out on the L322? Can you please do a review on Nissan murano as well thanks in advance

THIS GUY IS F....G AWESOME!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT JOB!!!!:)

Thanks I have been looking into it now I won’t buy it until I have a close mechanic friend

Great review, thanks.

Excellent buyer's guide. The few things I think you missed. The AC - corroded lines on vehicles fitted with rear AC. Also seems compressor failure a bit more prevalent on d4s. Plastic coolant parts fail prematurely on d3 and 4 but more of a problem on d4 (crossover pipe). I had d3 HSE for over 10 yrs. ~300k - the 4.4 v8 was probably best LR engine ever. Change synthetic oil every 6 - 8k kms and 4.4 will last many 100s km. Later models 24k oil change interval ridiculous. No wonder they have problems.

really helpful when buying used cars!

Great review,.thanks.

Love your vids and ur accent😀👍👍

This was good! Thank you!

great video with tons of info.

Excellent excellent excellent review..I would also change Radiator at around 150,000 Miles in LR3..the hose connections on Radiator are weak ..when they fail coolant just bleeds out..so may fry your engine having no coolant..and if you have a Cat that goes out doors will likely kill your Cat..we lost our beloved Chester due to this sht.

Fantastic review and humour

Loved your review

My 2006 lr3 made it to 220k miles before i traded it for a 2014 rrs sc, needed the air suspension replaced once at like 140k miles but thats it

Great review. I am going to purchase one of these myself but intend to service and repair it myself. The only way to own one of these is to repair it yourself or have lots of money to burn lol. Thanks for sharing.

Called disco's for a reason,,,so many flashing lights lol

Bad ass freakin review

Had the lr4 for 5 years and no problems

Super video, thank you.

I´m between a 2014 LR4 or a 4Runner., so this is a very very helpful video. Gracias...!

I will say this LR4 are way more reliable than the internet thinks and the land cruiser way less reliable I am always amazed how an idea becomes fact on the internet because everyone uses other internet references as a source.

I appreciate your graphics. it's very entertaining

It is very helpful explanation. I am planning to buy 2008 or 2009 LR3 HSE.

Superb! Thank you.

would you recommend going for a 2013 (last year of the V8) or a 2016, if both had same mileage and maintenance history? I have heard that the 2013 is less of a hassle to repair than the V6's

Great job. Please kindly review like this on Landcruser LC80, LC100, LC 200 as well.

Great review.. it helped me to avoid this car as occasion. ;)

Hi DCR, it would be helpful if we can get your opinion for your Top X suvs/euro/ sedan/v8 etc. reliable cars

Very informative, I only wish it had come out before I bought mine!

Best disco 3-4 comparison video. Thanks for pointing out possible issues with both. Looking to buy my first disco. Deciding whether 3 or 4. My only negative with disco 4 is the 19 inch rims. Harder to find higher profile off road tyres. Cheers.

Very good video.

I was checking out a 2010 LR4 TdV6 recently and at cold start there was a distinct rattle from engine bay for a few moments. Does the guide tension issue affect the diesel as well as the petrol engines you describe ? 🙏

My 06 range rover hse 4.4l is running Rich both banks, any known issue for these codes?

I thought about one until I found out that the whole body of the car has to come off the chassis if you want to replace a turbo... Clever design.. NOT!

My LR4 have 90% of problem that you listed, including breaking the crankshaft on 3.0L diesel engine.

This video is so true ...I was also laughing "like an animal" LOL...

Hello, I have a 2005 Land Rover LR3 and it seems as if the transmission fluid is leaking from the bottom of the oil pan underneath the car. When we last started it up and drove it a little bit, transmission fluid looked like it was raining underneath the car. Do you know where the leak could possibly be? Thanks, sorry for the bump.

Thank you for your reviews, for me those videos are very useful! I just wanted to ask you if you can do a review about the Freelander 2? Because I want to choose between dhe Discovery 3 or the freelander 2.

Brilliant

Very interesting and accurate. I have owned three different Discovery models over the past 24 years (an L2 for 6ys, L2 for 8ys and L3 for the last 10ys). They are fabulous vehicles and I wouldn't be without one, but they eat money for breakfast. My current 06 L3 has cost me £25k to maintain over 10 years for all servicing and repairs including tyres, etc. Unfortunately I am not a mechanic and therefore I have relied on paying a garage (usually a LR dealer). Fortunately the 2.7 engine has been sweat with no issues, but I have had nearly all the other things you mentioned. Most recently (last 5 years), the whole of the air suspension system replaced over several visits to LR to find the problem (!), corroded brake pipes, lower front suspension arms, glow plugs, prop shaft, tailgate latch, bonnet latch cable, and there are still outstanding issues with the rear axial, and a small leak from the steering rack. Grrrr. I still love my LR and therefore divorce is not an option until a vehicle as versatile and spacious, better looking, more comfortable, cheaper to run comes along. I have been trying to decide whether to keep my 06L3 and continuing to pay higher maintenance cost or buy a younger (ie 2011/12/13) L4? Although I could buy a more recent L4, the 'malus' tax payable on importing it into France would be £5k+ as well as the hefty depreciation and purchase price. What would you do? - is it better to keep the 06L3 devil that I know or take a risk that I may have the same issues again on the 8 to 10 year old L4 over the next 5 years?

Which is more reliable between the Discovery and Range Rover sport?

Great video 😂

golf mk7 review please!!

So mamy memes were consulted in the making of this video.

Sounds like dropping a 50 pound stack of clymer repair manuals on my pecker would be less painful then having to own one of these land rovers that break down all the time. Will stick with my trouble free 4runner. great video thanks

I have 2013 LR 4 SDV6 HSE with engine issues the injectors r not working well , please advice I want to change the engine which has 160,000km on it

Correction: the RR Sport was based on LR3 and 4 not the other way round!

I only watched 8mins and decided anyone would be off their rocker! Buying 1....

Fantastic video 👍💪 A beautiful machine. What is Land Rovers problem? Why so many quality issues? I'm considering buying a Disco 3 or 4. Anybody know a good maintenance manual (apart from Haynes) should one wish to attempt some DIY and preventative maintenance?

tenho uma Lr3 2005 azul v6 4.0L a gasolina pra mim é o melhor motor sem muitas coisas para se preocupar , remodelei ela igual a Lr4 no 6:01 e 8:01. Tem que comprar uma com uma boa manutenção dependendo do que estiver ruim numa compra mau feita pode ter levar a falência

Good video.its good car.but your are wrong about disco 4.it's have more cranck problems than disco 3 and no matter what year.but people who whatsing this video need to gnow that disco is not bad car.it need bit more care and then its best car ever.(my 2007 disco 3 is better to drive on highway than 2017 landcruiser what i and have drived same or better on offroad) so good things not meaned to be less expensive.sorry english is not my main language.

Ok, have not found any comparisons between GX 470 and the LR3. I'm looking at an 06 GX470 w/ 175k miles and a 05 LR3 with 105K miles. The LR3, original owner, WELL maintained, $10K. GX470, 3 owners, great maintenance records, $18k. Thoughts?

i was thinking of buying a 2010 discovery with the 3.0 diesel engine but now it doesn`t seam like a good idea . maybe a bmw x5 or mercedes ML will be cheaper to maintain . maybe even a volvo xc90 , even though i don`t like volvo cars . what do you think ? thank you

i came for honest LR3/4 Facts, I stayed for the humor 😂

1:27 literally all that has happened to my lr3 😂

Hi, thanks for the video I tried one LR4 few days ago and it was having some vibrations when you accelerate then it disappears could it be this torque converter ? because other than that the car is just running fine and smooth, gears are shifting smoothly thank you !

thanks, one more time to kill my willingness to buy a preowned land rover lol.

can you please cover audi a3 ? from 2016?

Please do a review on Mercedes Benz CLA

Brilliant video - many thanks. I have owned a Discovery 4 (UK ) so 3 litre diesel sequential twin turbo V6 - my local Garage have warned of Turbo pipe issues - has anyone had or aware of this problem? My Garage are recommending a routine change to latest variant which I am Ok with so long as the cost is valid - i.e. it really is an issue and worth doing - any feedback would be great,

Muitos mecânicos comenta que os motores 2.7L diesel só presta dos anos 2005/6 ,que são mais confiáveis do 2007 a diante começa a aparecer os problemas citado no vídeo é só vai piorando quando passa para o 3.0L

Any one with the 4.0 v6? How is it holding up

Could you please tell me where this Dealer located? I would like to go there to choose one.cause I'm looking for a Landrover Discovery.Salisbery Maryland.U S A.

so is the 2012 3.0L diesel the worst in terms of reliability? i’m interested in one with 182k km with full history in Land rover, i’d like to avoid big problems

There used to be a saying, “If you wish to go into the Outback drive a LR - but if you wish to get back out, drive a Land Cruiser.........unfortunately nowadays the LR won’t even get you into the Outback in the first place!

Lol at the mafia 2002 pic

And you will need all those cup holders and storage space to keep food resources to keep you going while you waiting for the recovery truck again lol

After watching this video im pretty sure i better going to buy a Touareg 2 :D

There a lot of little things you have to fix ...but he didn’t say anything bad about the engine 🤔

👏👏👏👏👏👍

Can you help me ?? My dad wants to buy a used car from Germany under 18.000€ which would be spacious,good looking,automatic,fuel efficient and most importantly reliable with 5 doors and it needs to have under 60.000km for reliability reasons

When you see the length of the video, it will say enough of the reliability :(

What do you think of the 2015 LR2? A local Chevy dealership of mine has one for $15,500 with (approx) 84,000 miles, and I'm thinking about buying it and sucking up (pun intended) the high gas bill. I'm also thinking they'll go lower just to get it off their lot since it's not a Chevy. Thoughts?
