Well done to the two guys who drive a Disco 10k miles in 10 days.

2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Would love to do a trip like that, but my furthest is Leeds to Morzine in France and back in a Vectra and that went wrong

Surprisingly, the duo also received sponsorship from Warranty Direct. This quote from Warranty Direct's MD Donald McClure sums up our shared concern beautifully: "When we were first approached for sponsorship and realised that they would be driving a Land Rover we were somewhat sceptical. Our Reliability Index shows the Land Rover Discovery as one of the more unreliable vehicles covered by Warranty Direct".

I quite fancy a road trip to Italy but a friend did it in his RRS and spent a couple of days trying to get it fixed when it died on him in Italy. It kind of put me off.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

If your car has been generally ok and hasn't left you stranded many times then just do the trip and get the fear out of your system. I have done several 700+ mile trips and a ~2500 mile trip in mine over a short period of time and can't recommend it highly enough. I didn't buy the Sport for its offroad or towing ability - don't do either. I bought it because it is a genuine tourer and one of the most comfortable cars out there. Love the looks too bit that's secondary.

I'm quite proud to have contributed to the WD Reliability Index  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

And you helped sponsor the epic drive Bradders

i'd complain, the MD should have named you in his doom and gloom appraisal of the Disco


Nice to see the LR shove it up his and complete the trip in time

We travelled to berlin about 785 (although the closed road made it about 800) miles in 1 day, autobahn speed in the Sport. It will have done nearly 2k for that holiday - perfectly.

Flawless perfection there and back - best car on the market to do those sorts of miles... Mike
