JD Powers quality list
I read the 2017 JD Powers car manufactor's quality list and find it strange that the gap between Jaguar and Land Rover are so
great. The Jaguar is on the 10'th place while the Land Rover is down at the 24'th place. As they share a lot of drivetrain and electronics, switches, interior comfort and navigation etc.etc. I find this strange. -99 Td5 90 CSW

Isn't the JD Power results based on cars a few years old? If so, the Defender may still be contributing to LRs score... 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

A couple of my friends work across Jaguar and Land Rover and it does seem to ring true.

The Discovery engine seems to like blowing up in a discovery but in a Jag because its got much less to do it seems to be far more reliable.

At one point my friend had a line of 8 Discoveries all in for bottom end engine rebuilds but hadn't seen the issue in the same engine but in a Jag.

Also lost of problems with Land Rover Differentials compared to hardly any for jags.

Just off the top of my head but may explain it. Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197
