I recently went from a 2021 Defender P400 X to a 2016 D4 Landmark (sub 22k miles) and have to say I think I prefer the D4. Clearly it’s not as technically advanced but there is just something (or so many things!) about it which is so good and with even more versatility for my needs.🤓🙏
You would like to think so, but it has not been the case with Land Rover. I think we should also not overplay the issue, as it still is a relatively low percentage of vehicles that snap their crank. Also other manufactures have similar types of problem that in an ideal world would come under a recall, even Porsche in their 911's (1998 to 2008) with the IMS bearing's that can cause catastrophic engine failure. I am neither defending or advocating from Land Rover...
@@JayTeeCars paying over a hundred k for something that is so unreliable what the heck they say they are best 4x4 by far but can’t stand by their product typical pompous poms urge everyone to stop paying what rr is and pay what they worth 150 k for new model and five years down the track only worth 30k come on guys we are the market not them
According to Land Rover the crank failure is a myth...according to Land Rover, well no surprise there, have you ever had to deal with a Land Rover main dealer ? They are trained at a special school to be liars and deceivers.
I had a D3 Tdv6 se for 7 years and was a great car I sold because I couldn’t justify spending money on what it needed and bought a Defender 110 Td5 then last year I bought a D4 V8 5.0 litre and so happy 😁 And for a good measure I drive a Series 3 Swb! Good review Thanks 🙏🏼
@@selebalotsiu7139 I had owned Defender 90 and a130 so I knew what I wanted and still driving the 110 and drive a series 3 SWB so I have 3 different options to choose from everyday!
Thank you, very informative video! I'm just wondering if there is any unique problem that is specific to the US market? Since we have a different powertrain and all. Thanks!
After years of adoring this machine I'm starting to consider getting a 3 or 4. Today I took my first serious step towards the dream ....but the car seller said to come back Wednesday 😄 should I be careful with what I wish for?
I notice you're running 17s, I have an LR3 I just bought, it's an 07 HSE 4.4L I was told the HSE won't fit 17s due to larger front brakes and minimum required wheel is 18s, how did you fit 17s? Or is this incorrect information?
I have the 4.4V8 here in the US and when it was on stock-sized tires I was getting 22mpg on the highway. Now I'm running larger K02's and a lift kit and obviously the fuel economy has decreased. I am going on a 5-hour road trip in 2 days so I'll calculate the fuel economy then. It'll be even worse now that the Biden regime is mandating more ethanol be blended into the fuel to create false advertising of lower fuel prices.
This vehicle has a great quality interior but the electrics, motor and suspension issues are just such a pain and so stressful while driving is just not worth it, get a Japanese 4x4 you'll be stress free!!
Codswallop. they´re no worse than any other premium SUV. Japanese stuff has no soul and doesn´t come remotely close to the comfort and driving experience that these have.
@@GoneFishin247 I would love to agree, however my disco 4 has 360,000 km with only wear and tear parts, my Touareg with 200,000 needed a timing chain and tensioner (engine out) so much for German engineering
How do I get in touch please? I’ve been watching your vids, in particular your discovery 3 which is now up for sale again and I’d love to give you a call or email to pick your brains if possible 👌🏼😊
Hi, Facebook would be easiest, send me a private message here facebook.com/JayTeeCarsYT Happy to help with any questions, Andy the seller also has my mobile number.

That was very informative. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I have a Discovery 3 HSE 05 plate , brilliant car.
Great video. I have had my LR3 HSE V8 since 2019. So far zero issues except water getting into the mats followed by Special Programs going off.
Great to hear a positive experience
Did you clear the sunroof drains?
If they have weak cranks that should be a recall on all vehicles one would think or if they go it’s on land Rover
You would like to think so, but it has not been the case with Land Rover.

@@JayTeeCars Happened to my mate 4 years ago. Second hand D3 and LR replaced the engine.

Good review
Thanks 🙏🏼
Was about to ask how it felt to drive Defender from D3. I guess completely different experience

Very factual and pragmatic video. Thanks. Sub👍
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks, Jay Tee for all the nugget on the Disco. What is the highest mileage you have seen on this vehicle please?
What type of roof rack do you have?
Hi mate, great videos and been a great help as i am looking at a D3 SE TDV6 just wondering should i be deterred by high kilometres/mileage? Thanks
If it has been well maintained and receipts show it, then mileage up to 200K miles isn't a real problem.
@@JayTeeCars my D4 is now on 240,000 miles and still running really well.
Thanks for the video 💯
💯 thanks for watching
Great video my slime
Ive actually wanted one of these as a light tow vehicle. The interiors are nice
One of the best tow vehicles you can buy.
Very helpful thank you

Pretty much everything the same except the V8 doesn’t have any problems with crank reliability.
Thanks for watching 👍

sounds a bit odd
Where can check the WIN number to see what the model have of accessories

Thankyou!

Hi, the 2.7 diesel has smaller brakes that allows the 17’s to fit.
The 4.4 have larger brakes and you are correct 17’s will not fit.
I installed a second hand fridge to my d4 , fan runs but doesn't cool anything, is there somthing am doin wrong? Does the ac need to be on?
It is purely electric, this would suggest the second hand fridge is probably faulty :(
I’ve got a factory one and it did work now it doesn’t!
Gotta find the fuse and check that first!
Crankshaft will break before the timing belt snaps. The Engine is the main point to check, forget all the other rubbish he's prattling on about.

That's good MPG for a V8, it will be interesting to hear how you go on your 5 hour trip
@@JayTeeCars US gallons are less volume (3.8 litres) than UK gallons (4.5 litres) thus the US mpg seems to get higher mileage than UK mpg.

Prices gone up since CONVID to be precise!
$600 a year?? No wonder why so many Britts are moving over here.🤔
