But, based on my family's personal experience with a pair of recent model Land Rovers, the one about British automotive reliability is still applicable. I stumbled onto this site while searching for an engine for a Disco II with 55K miles - this will be engine #3. I got rid of the other Land Rover before the warranty ran out. Chrysler would do well to look elsewhere for technology unless they are seeking clues on how to build a 30,000 mile disposable engine. Most old automotive cliches are no longer true.

Land Rover being at the bottom of all quality studies. With Chrysler's current reputation, well deserved or not, I think maybe they should be trying to get Cerberus to buy something with a better reputation. But the one thing that has been consistent?

Fiats still break down daily, Fords still explode, and American cars all use solid beam rear axles with big thirsty V8s (or four-liter straight sixes) equipped with carburetors.

Maybe we can get Lucas electrical systems(Why do the English drink warm beer? They have Lucas refrigerators) to enhance the ownership experience along with the puddles of oil leaking from the engines! Now that I think about it, British engines may be the answer!
