I agree. But when my cherokees battery dropped a cell it still started, only just but it did start.
TBH i've got better things to be doing than messing about with my discovery in every bit of spare time I have. I was going to put a lift kit etc on it, trouble is it's cost so much in parts and time for existing problems, i haven't had anything left.
My jeep was older had more miles and had a hard life before I got it, even so it caused me very little trouble, unlike my current discovery. Sorry to slate LRs but they're pants.

Mine has an oversized battery in to. nothing bigger will fit in the space and it still doesn't start. If it doesnt turn over at fast speeds it just flattens the battery.
Tommo:
everyone knows that land rover parts are far inferior to jap stuff etc. Jap and yank stuff is far more resistant to poor servicing and thrashing than land rover kit. everythings made of cheese, but i wouldnt have anything else. (maybe an old nissan patrol to go to work in)
