Re: My h2's done with
Hey, I've got both a 03 H2 and a 06 LR3 - the LR3 has the 4.4 v8 (made by Jag) and fully loaded.
I can tell you that the LR3 is a very nice ride - personally I really can't decide which is nicer. Yes the H2 is bigger and more aggressive but the LR3 still has a rough look mixed with alot of sport - it is much faster off the line and more luxurious inside. I also added a full ss sport exhaust and can say that the sound out of the 4.4 sounds agressive. I haven't done any offroading with the LR3 but have read that they are one of (if the the most) capable machines for serious offroading.
The wife loves the LR3 way more - though I'm split. I've had the H2 for 4 years with little to no issues (has 110KM). I've had the LR3 for 6 mths and no issues as of yet. Yes I've heard they are problematic, but that was the 04 and prior. The LR3 is a totally new line/product designed in 05 - it is not the old Disco (it is totally new both mechanically, electrically, body, etc and from what I've read they are reliable now?? Time will tell).
Oh, fuel wise they are the same. The H2 needs 22L to go 100km (yes I'm Canadian) while the LR3 only needs 18L to go the same distance - but the LR3 NEEDS premium gas which more than offsets the 4L savings.
Anyways, sorry for the bad luck you had with your H2. I'm quite surprised your engine is shat only after 88k miles. I ride mine hard all the time (lead foot disease) and the engine still sounds and rides as strong as the day I got it. Plus I pull a boat, tent trailer, util trailer all the time in the summer with it, and have taken it long distances many times. Did you do routine oil changes? Did your mechanic explain what may have caused your engine to pack it in so soon?
