Felt like a full time job keeping my D2 going!

an entire hobby too ,,,
think yourself lucky it wasnt anything later ,,, the D2s are the peak , downhill after that ,,, well more of a roll down the slope , the hill was never that high to start with.

Land Rover - turning drivers into mechanics since 1948.
Having said that, It’s never let me down in 15 years! Most reliable vehicle I’ve had - deserves a bit of TLC.
Clutch never really went, it was just an intermittent juddering from the DMF and I’d rather do it now than in the winter.
Brake pipes mentioned on last MoT, ditto.

I know, said it many times, when I changed the D2 I really really wanted a D4 but horrific tales of wallet emptying on a regular basis made head overrule heart and went for a Freelander 2 instead. I don't need the 7 seats and with most journeys done solo it's plenty big enough. I do miss the massive load space occasionally but 5 years and nearly 90000 miles in and it's been fantastically reliable. 2 intercooler hoses and 2 boot release switches is all its needed over and above routine servicing, which I do myself. Dread to think what a D4 would have needed in that time.
