"Moe" was our biggest disappointment. Everything about the vehicle was perfect...except for all the faults it developed (the biggest being the 2 month wait while an entire new engine was sent from Solihull, UK to Wagga Wagga, Oz after the old one imploded halfway between Holbrook and Tarcutta, in the middle of nowhere on the motorway). We loved Moe, but Moe was a dirty, cheating whore to failure.
If ever you think about buying a Land Rover, punch yourself in the face repeatedly until unconscious. If you wake up remembering why you punched yourself in the face, do it again, and keep doing it until you forget. Trust me, it'll probably be less painful in the long run.
One of the most reliable cars we ever owned was a Proton Satria that we called "Bruce" - a very cheap "driveaway-no-more-to-pay", Malaysian small car. We never had a worry with it, and we caned the hell out of it.
