    One of the shims is aluminium, they actually drilled holes in it just in the wrong place so then they thought aha lets just glue it all on, I'm so annoyed why do these people feel the need to mess about with things when they have no idea

    Look at the reliability tables for cars sold in this country . My son in law has a brand new top of the range Range Rover ,cost over 100 k . To date one new turbo ,2 new centre consuls . 1 new rear tv screen . It has key less entry and twice land rover assist has had to come out to let him into the car ,and just 10 k miles on the clock . Said that you never want to own a land rover out of warranty . I am afraid that I must agree with him .

    And yet I ran series 3's for years, and never had any problems at all to speak of. I owned the last one for 12 years and never had one breakdown. I did have minor things due to me being lax with maintenance at times, such as having to come back from a camping trip with bean tins clamped round the silencer. I daresay the box was many years old though, I just couldn't be bothered to change it.

     

    I was also aware they're not the most comfortable vehicle in the world so I didn't run them then moan about the ride :whistling:

     

    The last 300 defender I had I ran for ten years and again never had a breakdown, this one I maintained a little better :good: As for the td5, well I just wouldn't buy one.

     

    Methinks somewhere down the line you either (A) don't know what you're buying or (B) buying cheap.

     

    As for japs, I tried a surf and it died towing (bag of Japanese rubbish), my sons RAV is a constant source of trouble, His Girls Shogun has now gone due to repair bills, My mates Pajero has always (I mean always) got something that needs replacing Glow plugs playing up now). Another mates Land cruisr nearly killed him on the motorway with a known problem (brakes).

     

    The list could go on and on. If you're buying LR buy well, they've been around for so long there's loads about and a lot are abused.

    good advice for some reason people think there like tanks and you can run around without maintaining them I've done 40000 in my 300 tdi and its never let me down its cost me about £100 quid in parts what other vehicle do you know that could do that

    Love the good old landrover rant ,in my experience of running landrovers the main problem is a lot are previously owned by farmers that think a can of easy start is maintainance ,if looked after they are ultra reliable and also most jobs are easily carried out by a novice mechanic you won't find a jap pickup like that and spares are 4 times the price but its each to their own they both have their own merits
