You hear a lot of stories of them reaching a certain age and then having multiple problems, for example the electrics and air suspension. I have also noticed a lot of G4 vehicles for sale at the moment. Are owners experiencing said expensive problems? 1996 Camel trophy defender 110 2008 G4 freelander 2

But forums are great for help and advice but you tend to only hear the bad stories not so many folks post "my motors running great" for every tale of a bad motor there's several good motors still running just fine. Plus buying a motor such as a G4 they tend to be better looked after than the average school run motor because the owners are mostly enthusiasts so treat their motors with a bit more care and respect.

I recently started getting compressor overheating messages and thought here we go a big bill looming, all I needed to do was clean the crud from my last excursion off road from around the compressor exhaust and it’s now behaving normally..... Look after them, they will look after you.... There are exceptions to this rule though, and some components will fail, but JLR refuse to acknowledge there is a problem.......
