No RR.
Maybe the Indians will improve them now that they own the brand %26amp; Jag.
And Kia has been rehabilitated, afaik, CR likes them and sister company, Hyundai.
Jeep is prob worse than VW.
Then there's Toyota's 14,000,000 vehicle global recall and $50,000,000 fine [no typos.]

Should I buy a new Land Rover Defender or wait for the Iveco Massif to be launched in the UK?
I'm going to buy a new 4x4, should I just stick to what I know and get another Defender or wait until the Iveco Massif is available here?Should I buy a new Land Rover Defender or wait for the Iveco Massif to be launched in the UK?
Just as above (and J.G a very reliable and informative person) Ivecos are awful, awful things. Hopelessly unreliable, terribly built and a waste of space. A Defender is a fairly old fashioned and acquired vehicle but pretty well built and awesome off road.
Don't discount the Japanese though, some really, really good well built, reliable vehicles from the likes of Toyota etc.Should I buy a new Land Rover Defender or wait for the Iveco Massif to be launched in the UK?
I've just been on Iveco's site, it looks a piece of crap to be honest. It has all round leaf springs, and I've driven Iveco vans with the 3.0 engine - they are horrendous on fuel %26amp; very unreliable.
If you need a Defender because of work %26amp; towing, I'd stick with it or try a Japanese vehicle, but I'd give the Iveco a wide berth.

can't understand how they reckon it may surpass the defender off road BECAUSE of it's leaf springs, though!?!Should I buy a new Land Rover Defender or wait for the Iveco Massif to be launched in the UK?
buy the defender the latest one with the ford v6 engine is the best ever,not as comfortable a ride as some but will go anywhere on or off road

What is up with Land Rover?
I bought a Land Rover discovery in May. We paid what the retail value is currently. The trade in value online is 7-8 thousand less than the retail ( which I know happens) but we have been offered less than 1/2 of the retail because " no one wants them" Any suggestions on where to sell it other than local paper? ANyone used Ebay? We would like to get at least what book trade in value is for it!! It has become our 2nd car, so we want to get rid of the payment, since we don't use it much now. HELP! We want to get the most we can out of it, but want to sell it %26amp; not let it sit.What is up with Land Rover?
If it is in good shape and has the appropriate mileage, no mechanical issues, there is know reason a dealer won't give you k.b.b. trade in value. Just stand your ground. Alternative is eBay. Disco's do very well on there. Make sure you emphasize "clean" "no-leaks" "runs-great".
If it has issues you will have a hard time getting what you want...........LRLVR
P.S. There are allot of rover lovers out there that are willing to pay more for a well maintained truck, even if it's a little dirty....good luckWhat is up with Land Rover?
Ask the dealership if there are any LR clubs in the area. Post your ad with them.

Do the catalytic converters in Land Rover Discoveries tend to rattle?
If its the heat shield that's rattling then its okay, if not and the rattling in inside the converter it needs replaced. This can be checked and usually a muffler shop will do it for free. Hope it doesn't need replaced though because they can be expensive, my 99 chevy would cost $800 for both.Do the catalytic converters in Land Rover Discoveries tend to rattle?
Yes, apparently.

there is a heat shield made of sheet metal that comes loose and rattles.this happens to alot of vehicles and not just a toyota thing.just have someone tack weld it back in place.Do the catalytic converters in Land Rover Discoveries tend to rattle?
A rattle in a cat. convertor is either a heat shield or the cat. has gone bad have an exhaust shop check them if they are bad, have them put new ones in that are at least rated for 5800gvwr trucks.then check the emmisions as some thing cause them to fail
They can fall apart inside, but it's usually just the heat shield. If you tack weld it back on it will just break loose again. The best fix is a couple of hose clamps going all the way around.
