Rare,
Ignore all the jealous folks posting rubbish. Landies are great vehicles. If you look at some of my previous posts, we've had a couple of prangs in them, and walked away without a scratch.
Like Rover and Brew, we're at 200K miles in a LR3. Sure, some maintenance, but nothing that I couldn't remedy. V8 is the only way to go, the V6 is far too under powered in this chassis.
Is that Kensington Blue? What wheel bearing was causing problems? For me it was a front, about the same mileage. Control arm bushings and tie rods tend to wear, so get good one's when they are due. Also get a code/fault reader for it. It will ease your mind. I think mine's a "FaultMate". Was around $250 if I recall, and has saved $$$ over the years. If you have any problems, hit me up.
Oh yeah, for those jealous one mentioned above ( I don't want to hear any backlash on XXX vehicle being better, it's your opinion, just as I have mine), We own a Series 1, 3 Defender 90's, A LR1 (Disco 1), and the Disco/LR3. Had a P38 Rangie, and well actually still do, but it's a bit tired now.
