Knowing Rorys luck the crank will snap soon 😂

[@AustinoInc]

I might be mistaken, but I vaguely recall that after LR Time's analysis that the crank snap is a result of repeated oil starvation at start up due to the wrong grade of oil being used for the climate. LR Time's recommendation differs from the manual if I remember correctly.

[@scottbanks2531]

It’s the 3 litres that snap more than the 2.7s

Well I guess Alex planned to buy another 15 cars with the money he spent on Big Pete

[@CT-oe1ug]

I sold my D4 because it just seemed like there was an endless stream of preventative (and reactive) maintenance to worry about. I replaced it with a Lexus RX and to be fair, I have had to top up the screen wash. 10 year warranty certainly gives peace of mind. Obviously it’s not going off road, but that’s what the new Land Cruiser will be for. I feel your pain.

I'm in love with discovery 3's and 4's and when I needed to get a big 4 wheel drive I was so close to getting one. The only reason I stopped myself was because of the reliability. I ended up with a 2021 ssangyong rexton and am real happy but I'm still in love with the discovery

[@raptorheli2]

There are 2 ways to look at that, the rex will be a pig in a poke for residual and if you need bits you are going to the stealer. So you either do that or get a landrover and feed it parts and labour, either way it's big money.
