Hi all.
Through searching the web generally I came across this website so thought it may be worth being part of it after the purchase of my first and new Disco4.
Got the 2.7 SE. Leather 7 seats, 19" wheels with Satnav, rear air and rear camera. Love the look and fell of it. partiularly the black exterior and interior.
Have unfortunately already had some problems with it and have done less than 1000km.
Started with wheel balance problem. Had driven the car for the first time on the highway and felt the steering wobbles. The front wheels were out by 60mm.
Then a couple days later, went to put the windows up and the rear left would hit the top then automatically return to the halfway mark. Programming fault.
The same day, driving along the highway the car stalled with a warning saying Gearbox Fault. Thankfuly pulled the car over safely. After over a day of investigating the problem, it was determined to be a fuel pump pressure fault. As it is a new model in Aus, have to wait over a week for the part to arrive.
Am hoping that when we get the car back it will be free of any further faults and all the teething bugs gone. HOPING! I thought it to be such a great car after driving it and from the general reviews I read. Of coarse there are the reviews of problems, but what vehicle does not have them.
For the price and what you get, I could not see another vehicle to come close. The X5 is more expensive and is really a raised road vehicle. Same too the ML. And the Touareg is ugly.
Looking forward to getting back into our DISCO.
