whats reliable then guys

<< < (3/9) > >>

Disco Matt:
Mitsubishi Delicas look quite a good bet if you don't want another Disco. That said, mine seems quite happy with whatever the world throws at it. Only once has it failed to start, and that was an old battery meeting winter head-on.

Rich_P:
Land Cruiser or Hilux vote here if you must stray from the Land Rover brand.

But I would like to add something.  My Land Rover was horrendously unreliable for one year when I first got it back on the road.  Now, after a fair amount of expenditure, I'm actually able to focus on other things rather than keeping it going.  Actually, to be honest, it's become rather reliable now.  :shocked:

TDi90:
landrovers are funny things, i have noticed that if you leave them and neglect them then they done work.
however if you drive them every day for a year or so then they are fine and you seem to have less problems then if you use them only at the weekend or something.

Boggert:
I have a Terrano II, as a rule its as reliable and starts on the dot.

However did have to have a new turbo fitted but the guy fitting it said he was amazed he had never had a Terrano in with a problem like it, normally it just landrovers.

The Terrano II 2.7 TDi is the same engine as a London taxi (black cab) and is good for 250K as long as you look after it, there is lots of access in the engine bay so home maintenance is fairly easy.

glaggs:
You don't say what you use your vehicle for. Do you off road regular? is it your every day drive? Does it never go off road? All these factors influence reliability. I belong to another club and we off road regularly. Members have a variety of vehicles, but there is one common factor - reliability is directly related to the time spent Off roading.
