well it had to happen. Got my first warning light this afternoon, gear box fault.
Dealer says they have had a few issues with this already, apparantly a software issue that needs a new disc still? Did seem like a trigger happy fault to me as the minute you turned the car off and on again it went away

well, i have had wonderful week in a new freelander 2 
my car she is faulty. What started out as a gearbox fault has now gone to faulty throttle peddle and a car that just drops to 0 revs whilst driving below 30 mph whenever it feels like it.
Needless to say there is no fix yet So, i have had my car in the dealership more than I have had it at home which is really  annoying!!
I suppose one positive is that the door rubbing strips and the privacy glass is on 
I will keep you all posted with the updates

Thats bad news and I bet you are disappointed.

a whopping 42 miles, so really disappointed to tell you the honest truth. I just want to get my own wheels back. I have not even had a chance to get out onto the open road yet!
Anyway, lets hope they get something sorted this week or I am going to stick my foot up someone's to give them the hurry up!

Oh for sake!!!!! Now there is a hydraulic error
I am mighty close to telling Landrover to take that car and shove it so far up there tushi that they will taste the metal in their mouth.

Past experience seems to show that Disco3's either gave very few problems or were "lemons"  - might be as well to think about it quickly, and look carefully at the requirements for rejecting motor vehicles (trading standards may help with advice)
