I just helped rebuild one of these engines. Basically the oil change drips oil on the plastic water pipes and the coolant pipe fails, which then takes out the water pump and then the heads. Don’t let a Barney change the oil and if you ever get a low coolant light, don’t drive it until you swap out that pipe under the supercharger. The tank behind the engine could leak as well but that wasn’t the case on those RR. Fair warning, M8s.

Having owned an LR4 for about six months (it was also on its second engine), this is....painfully accurate. Trepidation leads to excitement (oh look, mines not a lemon, yay!), leads to sadness, leads to despair. So, so many issues in six months. So many denied warranty repairs. Six months was my limit, and I've owned many patchy, leggy and somewhat unreliable cars - so my tolerance is high. It was sold and replaced with a Touareg. Not nearly as dashingly handsome, but much more reliable and actually just as capable. Still miss that cavernous interior, and the split tailgate - oh how I miss that split tailgate.

The main reason is that car manufacturers have to keep up with ecological standards and in order to do that, they have to make their engines more difficult in terms of engineering. For example, an old d4 from Toyota was using like 15l/100km and the new engine from jlr inline 4 2.0D has a fuel efficiency of 7L/100 Km. And it all comes down at a cost of reliability. I am pretty sure companies are not fond of having the "Unreliable car" company.

Great content guys! Well done. All kidding aside about LR reliability reputation, the LR4 is an incredibly versatile and distinctive design. As for the failed water pump, that is perhaps the most common fault on these vehicles (anywhere between 50-80k kms). Once the water pump is repaired the 3.0 V6 SC engine is incredibly reliable from experience (and many others who have chimed in anecdotally on forums). I've been running two of these for a while now with either no or only minor issues. The latter of which I easily (and inexpensively) repaired on my own. The reality is that so many people, including Land Rover owners, love to joke about reliability issues but truth be told, my Land Rovers have been more reliable than the German-made vehicles I've owned (despite being models that were well rated for reliability!)

You guys are raising the bar for car reviews, it's not only about mechanics anymore, but about the fun (or sadness) of ownership. Keep going with the great content!

Had a Disco 4, it stranded us on a motorway due to a faulty fuel level sensor. It thought that the tank was empty. It was not. Fantastically expensive to fix. Wonderful car to drive; comfortable, quiet, spacious and plush. But hard to resolve the constant knot in the stomach as you wait for the next thing to go wrong.....
@Ben-in6qh26 күн бұрын
How can that leave you stranded? The engine doesn't just switch itself off when fuel gauge reads zero

Lol. I like the callback on the thumbnail. Thomas holding a sign saying James is a genius for buying a Century, James holding a sign calling Thomas an idiot for the Land Rover. In all seriousness, the Disco 4 is cool. Not reliable, but cool. My cousin has one (bought second-hand) and recently she had to fork out THOUSANDS after the twin-turbos on the V6 Diesel decided to not be turbos anymore. A week after then new turbos were installed, the car went into Limp Mode and a diagnostic cost another couple of thousand currencies and IT WASN'T EVEN THE ISSUE! But it's a nice car. Nice car...

As an Indian, I would like to have one humble request with regards to the lettering on the bonnet. If possible, would you be so kind as to interchange the first letter of each word and just casually use it? Pretty please.

Guys let me know if u ever need help with this car for diagnosis repair info. I am a service manager at a Land Rover dealership. I bought a 2016 LR4 last year for $500 with a blown engine and installed a new one. Please make sure all of the plastic coolant pipes under the supercharger are replaced and that the engine cooling fan works. They both fail every 50k and that's how I ended up with my lr4 girl didn't want to pay 22k u.s. for a long block. If u overheat it the engine is done. That engine is the 5.0 bock with 6 cylinder heads. Also you should get solid bushings in the front control arms.

My wife and I owned an LR3, it was a wonderful vehicle. We both loved it tremendously when it wasn't in for repair. It had the V8, and was so smooth and refined. At one point we were given an LR4 with the V6SC as loaner. Compared to the LR3 it was buzzy and uncomfortable. The seats were stiff and the power delivery was frenetic with a lack of low end. I'd love to have another one for an offroad toy, but the gamble is a real deterrent.

FYI, the rotary knob shifter will still twist into gear if it doesn’t pop up. so if that happens to you just twist it in place, it won’t do any damage. Beautiful car great review as always Guys, congrats.👌🙏💯
