My beloved 1997 Discovery automatic is dying and I don't know what to replace it with. I have a budget of approx £23,000 and initially thought of a Freelander, new, or on my budget, more likely used. I would like to stay with Land Rover as we live in a rural area and really need a good 4x4 (i.e not a BMW which proved to be the only 4x4 that could not get out of our village last winter) but there seem to be problems now with Land Rover automatic gear boxes. I considered Mitsubishi, but on reading reviews find they too are experiencing gearbox problems. What would you recommend that is good in bad weather and also has a reliable automatic gear box?
