The rolling money pit
How can any justify driving one of these things. I dropped my 98' Disco at the dealer for it's monthly fixed what is broken this time visit. There was a clicking coming from the right side swivel on the front wheel. Well after disassembling the wheel and looking inside the local LR dealer called back with an estimate of $1160 to replace the inner axle and reassemble with new seals and gaskets. Oh, did I tell you it only has 76,000 miles and has never been off road, my wife drives it around town. I have a 11 year Honda with 237,000 miles on it and have spent a fraction of the time, money, or effort on this vehicle than on the LR. Worst purchase I have ever made. How can any one have the nerve to call this the best 4x4xfar, if you can't get very far in it. I guess reliability and quality are a few things this manufaturer forgot to think about when designing and building this truck. What nerve to charge the prices they do for these vehicles. Like Barnum said "there is a sucker born every second" Thanks for listening to my rant. Anybody looking to buy a '98 Disco LSE with low miles looks great clean and straight.
