You used a motor ?

[Leo Sayer 2,337]

Not those too particular motors , but I did have a few discos as dogging buses and was great for pissin about in but reliability was shocking , everything went wrong with em and then some more, they were the td5s. I have no experience of Audi 4x4, but I do have a Audi S5 and it has been very reliable and have been impressed with build quality ect.

I put 140k on a FL2 and it never let me down. I’d have another. Biggest bill on it was for a rear diff which was a known fault.

My 10 plate was pre ad blu and dpf. Egr blank was piece of piss.

Mine ate track rod ends for some reason. But it was easy to work on compared to the ranger I have now.

No contest Audi over Land Rover any day

Forget all that 4x4 expensive nonsense. Vauxhall Viva, 1 litre. Million miles to the gallon, go anywhere. Buy nearly new with under 8,000 miles then run it into the ground over 3 years, clean up, sell, repeat.

To be fair, that is Essex and in Essex everyone it seems owns a Range Rover……maxed out on the credit card, shopping at farm foods but doing it dressed like Katie Price and Dougie Joyce in a Range Rover (payment 2 months over due !) lol

That’s because they just get nicked all the time, round my old way its not even an “if” anymore mate, it’s a “when” ……that said, it’s true for most high end cars, fords for some reason and almost any van round there too.

They are basically insuring for something that’s almost certain to happen.

Got a freelander here, wife's car, had it fron new on a 10 plate, not missed a beat, been really reliable, we're out in the sticks a bit and been great in ice, snow etc, towed boats, trailers etc with it and been a very decent car tbh.. just gond through its mot no faults, she's gutted was hoping it failed so she could have a new car, told her she's got amoyther year of motoring in it now! Lol

Until something goes wrong with it .. bought one for the missus when they first came out , every 18 month needed a timing chain (bout 30,000 miles).
