bought a low mileage 04 discovery (which i know has been very well looked after) recently to replace high mileage 97 which i had no problems with at all, went to france last week with a trailer 350 miles south at 4pm a pipe came off the gearbox oil cooler and blew all the oil out leaving me stranded on the hard shoulder wonderful!! apparently its a common fault basicaly the pipe is swaged on and can pop off easily, what a joke something as important as this should be bolted on, anyway through help of some friends what could have ben a nightmare turned out well although we had to get home via ferry to portsmouth a 6 hour sea trip. so far this little episode has cost me around £600 without the repair, the car is in a french garage. i still have to get back to collect it. all for the sake of a two bit connection. will i buy another one? i very much doubt it.
