Sadly the reliability issue with Land Rover products is not "hype" look at any respected motoring by make survey and you will find them at the bottom for cost of ownership and reliability. It is accepeted fact, even by devotees on this forum, they are just not reliable, some poeple are lucky and have no trouble or "forget" the time when the ABS played up or the ECU for the suspension had to be replaced or the gearbox siezed or stayed in 2nd gear and was a warranty replacement.
It does grieve me to say this because I am a patriotic guy and would much prefer to buy British (even if they are owned by Ford) but I'm blowed if I will subsidise a company who can't get it's quality right after all these years.
As an illustration from personal knowledge, my sister's partner owned a series 2 Disco, the turbo went just before warranty expiry - he then bought a Disco 3, very nice too, at around 10 k miles he had to be rescued; turbo again, this time a hose detached at high speed. A glutton for punishment he then bought a late model diesel Freelander, this has developed a fault with the imobiliser that leaves him stranded ocasionally when the engine won't re-start; his solution, keeps the engine running on a trip in case it doesn't start again. This folks is unreliability, if you can live with stuff like this then good luck to you, I could not!
My next door neigbour has a Disco 3 on lease - saw him driving a Volvo V70 last week - "wheres yer Disco John?" given it back till they sort it he says "whats wrong?" where do you want to start he said and it doesn't do that either!
In contrast I have a 12 year old Jap "truck" the only fault on which is a drivers door lock which does not energise the central locking with the key - a 6 year old korean city car, owned from new, which is thrashed and abused by all the family drivers and has never missed a beat and has only cost for two front tyres in it's life. Not a very good tow car though although Steve in Leo would probably give it a try.
