I wouldn't even think about it.

75% chance it's a POS.What do you think of a used 2002 Land Rover Freelander AWD SE ?
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.



Just found this;

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.



    Look here:

    http://www.roverparts.com/TechTips/Exhaust_Rattle_Catalytic_Converter.cfmDo the catalytic converters in Land Rover Discoveries tend to rattle?
    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.

    If I am thinking about buying a Land Rover Sport or Range Rover then what other cars are comparable? Reliable?

    Are these good cars?



    Important - Do they offer air cooled seats? This is the best feature! Could I get an air cooled chair put into the driver's side replacing the regular chair... If I really wanted? How much is that?If I am thinking about buying a Land Rover Sport or Range Rover then what other cars are comparable? Reliable?
    If the one you want doesn't have air cooled seats, they can not be added on. That's an option installed at the factory.



    But please reconsider getting any Land Rover. They have terrible reliability history. As bad as Range Rovers. All Rovers have been at the very bottom of JD Power ratings since 2000. The results are base strictly on Rover owners rating their own cars. Take it from those who own them ... avoid them at all cost.If I am thinking about buying a Land Rover Sport or Range Rover then what other cars are comparable? Reliable?

  • Is it possible to land a rover on the surface of Venus?

    It would be nice to send a rover to Venus and have it sent back pics like the rovers in Mars. But is it possible yet? I know that Venus is literally HELL so it would have to be an extremely tough rover.Is it possible to land a rover on the surface of Venus?
    Actually the Russians have already sent probes to Venus. The first probe that landed on Venus was the Venera 4 on 1967. Although most were destroyed due to the immense pressure and heat.



    Search up the Venera 4, Venera 5, Venera 6, Venera 7, ect.
    with the atmospheric pressure, yes. it is not impossible. nothing is. stick a black hole generator onto a ship and it will go the speed of light.(dangerous though) . the technology would have to be pretty advanced thoughIs it possible to land a rover on the surface of Venus?
    The Russians did sent a probe called Venera which landed on Venus. However it was not mobile, and it died rather quickly from the high temperatures.
    Yes, but it would be pretty futile: The rover wouldn't last more than two hours in the best case, so the mobility wouldn't be exploited well. Even if you can do a quick start, you couldn't travel more than 2 kilometers before overheating, without any science being done, and with the motors of the motive system additionally overheating you.



    The best research tool on Venus would actually be a blimp or zeppelin, since the dense atmosphere would make this easier.Is it possible to land a rover on the surface of Venus?
    The Russian venera spacecraft were not rovers, just landers and none of them

    lasted more than about an hour. Eventually, technology will probably

    overcome the hurdles of temperature and pressure and give us a clearer

    picture of what the surface of Venus is like but that day is pretty far off right now.
    A number of stationary soft-landed surface probes have already been sent to Venus and have returned valuable surface condition data. No rover has yet been sent. The harsh conditions on the Venus surface make it very challenging to engineer a surface vehicle (stationary or mobile) with a duration longer than about 30 minutes.
    They already have.

    1998 Land Rover Discovery Power Seats and Radio Not Working?

    On my 98 Disco both the passenger and driver side seats arent working. I couldn't locate a fuse for it but I noticed a bunch of relays under neath driver side seat. Could one of them control the power seats. If so, which one?



    Also my radio is not turning on at all. I do even see the clock displaying on it. Is there a fuse behind the radio? Because I checked the fuse under the dash and that was fine.1998 Land Rover Discovery Power Seats and Radio Not Working?
    Fuse box is under the steering wheel. Here is a link to the owners manual.

    Would you buy a land rover discovery se7 or a toyota 4runner used?

    Which one?Would you buy a land rover discovery se7 or a toyota 4runner used?
    I would buy the Toyota.

    The Land Rover costs much more for repair and maintenance.
    Discoverys are crap. My father has owned two and neither of them are any good. Always something breaking down on them. 4 Runners are 1,000 times better. I remember a popular car magazine calling the Land Rover Discovery "The truck that will get you there, but might not get you back." The prices on the Discovery are attractive but there's a reason for their super low resale value. They aren't reliable and their parts are very expensive. Have you driven it yet? It feels like the front seats are too close to the doors. The 4 Runner is kinda narrow too but at least it has enough shoulder room for anyone. Still, the 4 Runner would get my nod.

    Update: In response to another answer, the Discovery should be more luxurious. It was costing $50,000 when the 4 Runner was $30,000. However, look at the prices now. Look at what 2003 models are selling for. The 4 Runner only costs 2-3000 less to buy. That's a big difference from $20,000 brand new. Also, let's not forget the suspension systems that fail on the air suspensions on Land Rovers that tend to fail at an alarming rate. $8,000 to repair?Would you buy a land rover discovery se7 or a toyota 4runner used?
    Unless you have a large amount of money to spend on up keep buy the Toyota. Rovers are nice cars but figure to spend about $4000 a year in up keep. I work in the car world and many of my Rover customers call them the $2000 cars, because every time one comes in it needs $2000 in work.
    I would always get a Disco anytime. I have a well maintained Disco and I drove the 4runner for sometime as well. The Disco is much more fully equipped and much more capable than the runner and does not have that certain" cheapness" that the runner has.Would you buy a land rover discovery se7 or a toyota 4runner used?
    it realy depends at what suits you. do you prefer a lux car or a domestic one. but to answer your question i would get the 4 runner.
    Id buy a 1987 4runner with 500,000 miles on it and rust holes before i took a 2009 Rover for the same money new..

    What country is the luxury car manufacturer Land Rover based in?

    UKWhat country is the luxury car manufacturer Land Rover based in?
    Yes, England
    Land Rover is a British (UK) brand, but the company is currently owned by Ford Motor Company (US)What country is the luxury car manufacturer Land Rover based in?
    As someone has said, they were originally a British-owned brand, but after British Leyland went under Ford purchased them. I imagine that Ford's U.K. branch has control over the factory now.
    EnglandWhat country is the luxury car manufacturer Land Rover based in?
    The Land Rover factory is based in the West Midlands in England. Yes is is and always will technically be a British car company, but was at one point owned by BMW who really only wanted the air suspension design to put in their vehicles, then sold on to FORD.

    In 1988 British Aerospace bought Rover Group (which includes Land-Rover). Rover Group was sold to BMW in 1994.



    In April 2000, BMW announced that it would break up and sell Rover, selling Land Rover (to Ford), keeping the new Mini, and selling the rest of the car section to an investment company `Alchemy' which would make and sell sports cars under the `MG' name (the British government was not pleased!). By late April, the Alchemy deal may have fallen through with a rival `Phoenix' group, led by an ex-Rover executive, still in the race.
    Scottish born has the most detailed info, but the short version is they are a UK company, who used to be affiliated with BMW but is now part of Ford's corporate umbrella under what they call their premium identity brands, along with Aston Martin, Jaguar (both British), and Volvo. Of all of Ford's aquisitions, Land Rover has managed to stay the most independent in terms of parts sharing, so they are still much like they have always been.

    At what mileage would it no longer be good to buy a used land rover range rover at?

    ive found 2 online so far that i may be interested in

    -im looking at 1997 specifically with about 115,000 on it for about $4,000.



    -im looking at a 2000 with 100,000 miles for $4500 tooAt what mileage would it no longer be good to buy a used land rover range rover at?
    I wouldn't buy a Land Rover - period!

    They get poor fuel economy and don't have great ratings either.At what mileage would it no longer be good to buy a used land rover range rover at?
    I would say at .5 miles it would not be wise to purchase a used Land Rover. Unless you are a skilled mechanic and have the funds for replacement parts. They are great when they work but bears when they go bad.At what mileage would it no longer be good to buy a used land rover range rover at?
    Over 10,000 miles.



    These cars are very unreliable and expensive to maintain and use Premium gas.

    Land rovers where the english take on the jeep from the second world war and was made for farmers to move animals and the like...

    Range rovers were made for the upperclass farmer type pillocks who spend all there time riding horses and shooting clay pidgeons(sort of a weekend farmer)..

    Land rover was originally made by british leyland and the range rover was a suburban land rover...
    A Land rover is stronger and a better work horse.

    You can pull heaver stuff with a landrover and they go on and on and on. They dont rust as quick..



    And the Snobs and Mums getting kids from schools drive Rang rover's...



    But it depends what you want to use it for. Check your local dealer ship.....What is the difference between a Land Rover and Range Rover?
    Landrover is the make.

    There are many types of landrover:

    defender 90/110, freelander, discovery, rangerover, rangerover sport etc etc.

    The rangrover / rangrover sport are the luxury end of landrover and therefore more expensive, and the defender is the more basic workhorse vehicle.
    Land Rovers are for people that actually go off road, Range Rovers are for drug dealers.

    They'll be made by the same people in the same place, just the owner is changing.



    Land Rovers were unreliable when independent, owned by BMW, owned by Ford, and I'd guess they'll continue to be unreliable being owned by Tata.



    And Jags aren't much better.



    As the other poster wrote, I wouldn't have bought one before, maybe they'll improve with the new owners.

    You can shop around for places like Midas, Moro Aamco franchises. Most of the time you can find oil service (5 quarts plus filter) as cheap $15.99 to $19.99 with coupon offer that you can get in the mail or find copies by logging into Goo-gle and printing: for example Moro oil change sale coupon.

    Sounds like theres not enough fuel to turn the engine over and system will need bleeding through.

    Hopefully you haven't picked up any sediment from the bottom of the tank as that could block injectors etcLand Rover Discovery 03 fuel light on wont start put diesel in still wont start?
    diesel like to have a pressurized system if you ran it to the point it was out of fuel (I hope you did not ruin the pump) you will need to look under the hood for a schrader valve ( like a tire valve stem) and (use safety glasses as fuel is high pressure and will spray) and have someone turn it over and you bleed the air out of the system if no pressure builds up you may need a new pump

    .
    This is a very large scale scam. This isn't the first company in the list of frauds. These companies have been identified as fraud by govt bodies and people all over are being warned not to send in cash/credit card/personal/financial details. I got a similar letter today here in New Delhi,India asking for Rs. 1000/- as Assignment fees. Stamped from Singapore, money to be sent to UK, that too, in cash, to some R. D. Rosenbohm, Director in Chief, with no phone no, email etc to contact. Please ignore all such mailers, shread them right away.I got a letter in the post saying i won a land rover 2008 series or $42,000 cash the company is called interna
    I stay in Bangalore, India...I also got a similar letter saying that I have won a Land Rover. It asks me to pay INR 1000...interestingly (and cunningly) in cash.

    I'll say it a million times - do you think there are people out there who are giving away money because they are bored or something??????



    If you were rich, would you give away Land Rovers and cash?



    How do you think they get their money? I suppose you could send them $20 and find out :-)
    Do you have a shredder. Put the $20 in the shredder or better still shred the letter. The second option is cheaper.

    If you send the money they will mark you as a mug, and then ask for shipping cost, insurance, %26amp;c. %26amp;c. until you get wise. Same thing as the "Tarmac your drive" merchants really
    No doubt you will have to pay by credit card or online check. Take a hard think and guess what they will do with that info. Something for nothing which you did not apply to is someway they want to do a little ID theft. And sometimes things you did apply to are, too.
    Yes people get this stupid letters all the time, all they want is your name and account number to send you the money, I don't think for one minute that someone will give up to theses people, just bin the letter and never give your name or account details.
    I live in Mumbai, India and I also got this letter yesterday. Strange that the letter was posted from Singapore and they want me to send Rs. 1000/- in cash to some UK address. Definitely it's a scam.
    If you've got $20 to blow, go ahead and send it in, but all you'll get is an education on how to be scammed.
    How on earth can you have won a competition you never entered?
    Mark the envelope RTS, and put it in the post box.
    If you genuinely had won something - you would not be asked for money.
