How to buy a Discovery 4 - Common problems, cost of parts, test drive tips (XS spec)
The Land Rover Discovery 4 is a vehicle legendary for its off road capability, on-road comfort, interior spec and features and just generally handsome looks. However, it is also quite legendary for a number of problems.
In this How To guide, our video guy Ciro De Siena, who has just bought one of these beasts, takes us through some of the common problems with the car, and how to spot them on your test drive and inspection.
We also look at replacement parts pricing and the cost to perform the important cambelt service.
We'll cover air suspension issues, the handbrake issue, cracked intake manifold, exhaust gas recirculation solution and mass air flow sensor issues.
We'll also cover why this rare Discovery 4 XS spec might be the pick of the bunch...

All-new BMW X2 Review - How does this FWD 3-cylinder compare to its rivals?
Переглядів 15 тис.6 годин тому
The BMW X2 is certainly a niche model in SA; never selling in huge numbers. Will the second generation X2 change that, or will it remain a niche player? In 2016, BMW decided there was a gap that needed filling between the X1 and X3, debuting the X2 at the Paris Motor Show and commencing sales in 2018. The first generation was more of a hatchback than SUV, and judging by the fact there are only ...

Our intrepid journalist David Taylor has just returned from a trip to China where he attended the China motor show. He also got inside information about all the cars that the Chery brand (and all its side hustles) plans to bring to SA in the next few years. There is a lot of metal to look forward to from the Chinese brand in the next few years including, SUVs, all-electric off-roaders and even ...
Custom-built 6x6 Land Cruiser is good enough for the military (and can carry 7 tonnes!)
Переглядів 20 тис.13 годин тому
South Africa is known for its bakkies (pick up trucks) but this one may just take the cake when it comes to the title of the one bakkie to rule them all. This 6x6 Toyota Land Cruiser has taken nearly 5 years to develop in a home workshop. It uses an automatic gearbox specially made by ZF and using an Audi gear lever. This video takes you through the build, what it's capable of and how much you ...
All-new Volvo EX30 Review - It's super fast but is it super smart?
Переглядів 22 тис.23 години тому
The lower-priced end of the electric vehicle market in South Africa has just received another competitor in the form of the new Volvo EX30. Priced in South Africa from R775,000, which is in the ballpark of the GWM Ora 03 we reviewed earlier this year, the EX30 has proved a hit in Europe with it's clever design, inside and out, but mostly because it seems to offer a lot of car for a very decent ...

Too ugly... The old one was much better.. They should've face-lifted it.. Instead of creating this car.
Awesome video, Ciro! I have sent this to a mate of mine that owns a Disco 4. Hopefully he’ll learn a thing or two 🙏🏾
We greatly appreciate
BMW is clearly copying the front from Kia and the rear is a jaguar copy cat. They are making cars crappp cars for high prices 😂
Do they even quantify how much it actually cost or they just throw numbers around?
Great video as always but ,I would rather stick with german or japanese makes
What people fail to understand, just like the presenter has, is that this vehicle is not meant to be comfortable and have creature comforts. The 70 series is a vehicle that will take you from Cape Town to Cairo, across any terrain, and bring you back with minimal if not no issues. The drivetrain is indestructible and the motor is too (1HZ being the best bet). The UN and other NGOs deep in Africa appreciate this vehicle for what it is. This is an overlanders dream

I like things like this. Different engines in cars as long as they fit.
Ungly
The biggest commercial flop in modern times. They told us that EV'S were up to the job and that they were good for the environment. Both were a lie...
Great build! Amazing job and thank you for sharing!
Daylight robbery
My 2013 se with fsh lasted a week before the engine blew. R170 to replace. Walk away guys
Please do the BYD Dolphin and Atto 3 😁
Dave! Great to see you doing your thing mate! It's been a minute. Just purchased the Tiggo 8 ProMax AWD. What a great car. Thanks to all the positive reviews from the cars team, gave me alot of piece of mind in purchasing the new vehicle.
More than 800k starting for a 1.5 three cylinder. That will drop in value very quick like all bmw’s do. No thanks
Oh and then you add 100 or 200k worth of extras that you don’t get back when you sell
❤i love it like this 😂,we in the Farms dirty roads,so this simple basics is fantastis ❤
Loving the subtle shots of the E39 M5 in the background
I would much rather go for a used Prado and have peace of mind. These vehicles are not called Rand Lovers for nothing🤭🤭🤭
Ahhh man! You gave away my hack!! (XS). Plus your model looks hella close to one I almost bought a year ago. Got a hunvh these are set to be future classics and will start appaciating or holding their used values quite well. Mostly cause the present shape went full 'private school' and had a sex change.
Brilliant car, enjoyed your review.
There is a fault in the crank design on the diesels and bearmach has a complete crank upgrade which means the engine suddenly becomes quite reliable.
The relationship of BMW and South Africans is very deep😅 Great video❤
Discover how deep your pockets are 😂
I'll stick the Fortuner and be happy to give a lift to the Land rover guy to work.
As exciting and disposable as my toaster. Nobody says look at and listen to that electric car.
All Ev's are the same. A giant battery with a flashy gimmick-filled toy built around it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 love that
Who needs polaris with stuff like these?
I've had an XS since 2013 - fantastic all round vehicle. I didn't want air suspension / sunroof / 7 seats ( and the reduced packing space) so went for the XS. As it turns out it's the best Disco 4 IMO. A few points - For off road use factory suspension is too low (185 mm clearance) so you'll need a 50mm lift on the coil springs to improve ground clearance. If the parking brake gets stuck you can release it by removing the cupholder - quite simple. Change the oil & filter every 10-12000km rather than the 26000km as recommended by LR. Enjoy
Thanks so much for this. I'm not much of an offroader, might do a bit of dune driving here at Atlantis but mostly the odd gravel road. I love how practical the car is. I plan to service every 10,000km indeed. So nice to hear a good Disco story. Wishing you many more happy miles
In the day , LR dealers were stupidly telling their customers of the xs that their cars would be void of any warrantee because the air suspension had been tampered with , I myself heard it at 3 different dealerships , 2 in the sandton area and one in PTA , all at different times of the year !
Truthfully , from what I have seen of LR products , you need a small fortune to start off with , because , if you buy second hand , and buy cash , you have just paid a reasonable deposit , you will carry on non stop paying out of your nose , just to keep the thing going , and , they have a huge fettish for either your local dealer or your local LR specialist . They are just a money pit . If you are paying your car off still you are a glutten for punnishment and your car is your dominatrix !
I know this new X2 is supposed to move me from a visual perspective but I still like the older one more.. I even appreciate the auxiliary exhaust tail pieces and the instrument cluster. This new one is modern and high tech with amazing customization and high resolution but I love the previous generation just fine with all my physical buttons. Anyways that's just my opinion please don't rip me apart with comments saying that I'm an old man who battles to keep up with the times. Great review!
This Vehicle looks Neat... From a Dealership Service Dept. Perspective...it plain Rubbish Unreliable and Crazy to Fix. Glad you Enjoy yours. I will go the Land Cuiser Route. Great Vid !! ✌

Every time Ciro listed an “extra” I just heard “second hand polo”, “second hand MK1”, “second hand discovery 4”…
Great review Ciro. They are great vehicles when they are running OK with no issues. Very comfortable on the open road as well as offroad😅. But the lack of trust in them is an issue and why I would probably not buy another LR product. Agree with comments of others that similar videos of secondhand purchases of other brands are done. But my 2 cents worth of my experiences with one. I bought a Disco 4 SE new in February 2015. From the start the dashboard rattled badly and despite many attempts the selling dealer was never able to fix. LR are well known for poor assembly as well as being one of the most expensive in SA regarding workshop costs. At 32 000 kms the brake servo and master cylinder had to be replaced as brakes were binding. Relieved that it occurred close to home and not on a trip which would have needed a flatbed. Battery replaced after 3 years. The Maintenance Plan expired when I had done 82 000 kms. Low mileage owing to personal health circumstances notwithstanding trips to Lesotho and annually to Timbavati. However as I feared the dreaded crank snap (estimates were 1 in 19 vehicles snapped cranks. Car Magazine published about this ), took an extended 2 year plan from the selling dealer. Max that you could get and thank goodness I did. In that period the rear diff, a turbo, air pump and suspension valves needed replacing. Fortunately no crank snap though. I sold the vehicle immediately after the expiry of the extended plan with 106 312 kms on the clock. Very low for its age but the nature of repairs in its last 2 years were an indication for me of a lot more to follow. I hope I was wrong and whoever did buy from WeBuyCars has not faced huge costs. A good UA-cam site to see how complex these cars are is LR Time.
Me-to-self: Moral of story stay away
more like have 50k in a dedicated savings account for the what if's🤣
@@lutha1720 True. 50k is a modest amount though 🥜
Excellent video team! More of these please, for all the "old greats". Please do a similar video on the Freelander 2
hold on how's a cam belt a body off job? I can understand a high-pressure belt which by now we know it can be changed without lifting the body with some maneuvering & 20k rands to change a timing belt! that's madness, at that price you'll have to include an oil pump, water pump tensioner, and pulleys oh & a thermostat ... its Ludacris!
Well done, Kobus!! It's awesome to see him doing what his passion was from when I met him when he was 11 years old! Working on engines from that age!

These sorts of videos are very useful. It would have been great if you could have gone through the different engines and their respective weaknesses. SDV6 vs TDV6 etc. But I guess there's always ReDriven for the thorough analysis.
Awesome to see Kobus(looks like Kobus) is still following his passion for building cars! I've known Kobus from Primary School, and he was passionate since then, building and racing gokarts and moving from there to bigger cars, and now these insane cars!! Well done Kobus!!
Had a 2012 S from new. Absolutely loved it … except when the turbo went at 37k … and again when it went at 75k. Traded it in just before the maintenance plan finished.
So, to put a belt on, the car has to do a strip show??
Would definitely like to see more videos like this , especially with brands known for issues , such as Renault , Fiat etc
