[QUOTE="Zaphod Beeblebrox, post: 2691566, member: 4606"] Do you know why the Brits don't build computers? They haven't figured out how to make them leak oil! Actually, I looked at a Disco II a while back; good price, nice shape. The reason for the good price was the engine was making "some kind of noise", but "ran". I did some research and apparently, RR bought the tooling for the V8 in those from Buick(?) back in the 60s, and kept using it until it was past worn out. Unfortunately, that didn't stop them from using it. The engines left the factory out of spec, with cylinder sleeve and oil pump failures common. RR wouldn't replace the engines under warranty, but [I]would[/I] if you wanted to give them $10k. I don't know about the Freelander, but RR doesn't have a great track record of reliability. [/QUOTE]
