Land Rover Discovery Sport

Owned a LR Disc Sport for close to 5 yrs, with non-stop quality/reliability issues: Year 1: 1 x change of air-cond compressor, software crashed and flat battery (which main dealer workshop did not explain why such pre-mature failures) Year 2: engine failure ( canter shaft replaced), suspension cringing issues and screeching when reversing (unresolved despite checks by main dealer workshop) Year 3: 1x change of air-compressor again and battery flat again. Year 4: engine failure (canter shaft issue replacement again), brakes pipe burst (thankfully was detected early by my own mechanics), radiator reservoir replaced due to leak and wiper pipe burst. To add to the above, the after sales workshop support of the main dealer was very bad despite it posh Leng Kee Road showroom with associated Jaguar & etc. Incumbent reversing screeching isuue, door squeaking issue when opening , suspension cranking issue were never resolved. Battery low voltage not detected during routine mileage services but battery went flat less than 2 weeks later. When asked about the engine failure, compressor failure and software crashed , were told sometimes these happened. However, seriously not when the car is only 1-2 years?! A typical marketing tactic on "Look-sexy " But actually missing the core of reliability, which is crucial for safety, comfort and ownership continuity. Will strongly not recommend! Glad to have replaced my LR with non-JLR...Will only consider if reliability and after-sales are greatly improved. Warranty period could not cover the extremely poor reliability and after-sales service.... Read More

Been driving it for 2 years and it was with the old ford engine . I have drove the new Ingenium engine too in Australia for 2 weeks which is of not much difference. It has below-average fuel economy and uninspired handling. Part of the reason is the transmission, which sometimes features poorly-timed shifts. Was attracted to its look and 7 seater option but really disappointed on the reliability ! Been in and out of the workshop umpteen times for minor to major issues till i had to demand for courtesy car during the repair period's . So decided to sell it off last month at a huge lost. The re-sales value and demand is certainly worse off compare to other luxury brands.... Read More
