jiggy 3,207 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 My brother in law had a new discovery 7 I think it was. A bushing went underneath that cost 20 euro but 800 to fit it. We were travelling down road one day with an i for Williams trailer that had a wiring problem and the motor decided to sit down on suspension at 60 mile an hour and nearly killed us. 40 grand death trap is what it was Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shepp 2,285 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I have a Freelander 2 which I bought off my fathers friend, it’s been a reliable motor from new. Pas for the Jimney, good off road but very little room inside and horrible on the road. Done 125,000 miles, mostly around town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can say mine's never left me stranded (other than one snow drift ) but in the time I've had it it's needed a new rear diff and clutch amongst a few other minor things. I wish it had a low range box otherwise I can't say it's a bad motor. If the new Defender is an improved, more utilitarian, version of that I'd be interested. Unfortunately I'm reading stuff about air suspension and hybrid engines, lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
