Hey Guys -

Am contemplating a Discovery 5 -

looking at he usual scare stories around engine reliability - both for the 2.0 & the 3.0

mindful that the internet has a habit of being both echo chamber and amplifier for the bad, and muffler of the good/non-existant - was wondering if there were stats available on the probabilities?

I'd happily pay a grand a year or so to have piece of mind - but everything i'm hearing about both the official Jag/Land Rover extended warranty & the autoprotect one offered by the indie dealer i'm looking at, is that they are not worth the paper they are written on.

Can I get an 'official' warrenty on a three year old Discovery? - does it need inspection by a JLR garage - or has it missed the boat?

Any experience and advice most welcome!

Cheers
