Sadly mine smells of dogs,deer,rabbits & cigars but the kids love it when I let them drive it around the local off-road course.....

Have you got any good camping spots up your way were we can have a fire pit etc do a bit of the old ray mears we only need a field.

+ 1 on that Mick

It's a struggle to find anywhere legit nowadays around here !! The best spot is in the process of being made 'impossible' to access with a vehicle due to the local muppets littering & attempting to burn down the woods. Believe it or not the last lot brought a chainsaw with them......... I've never seen Ray M take one of them !!

The 88 was mine, towbar front and back comes in handy some times...

yeh i know none of them are ribs but with the ribs i use that wouldn't be half as interesting..

Hydrosurveys in Abbey fields? Was the Ford up?

Wake up chaps, JLR will not be here much longer.

And also isn't that the point of a grudge?

To bear it for years and years until it makes no point whatsoever to those around you?

Anyway, I have an S111 Safari and love it. Hate Land Rovers though. Also have a FreeLander, still hate Land Rovers.

Do you remember Connolly leather in Jags and Rangeys, even Astons and Benters.........well, JLR shifted leather sourcing to China and Connolly went under.

And that was at least seven years ago, before China was on the big league map.

There is no loyalty from UK manufacturers.........namely because none of them are owned by UK owners any longer.

China already accounts for 70% of product in a JLR vehicle. Only the assembly and design happens largely in UK and that's debatable and anyway, no longer profitable.

Ford in Dagenham?

Read Jag, Aston, Land Rover......Made In China......few ticks of the clock from now.

Mick,

Generally all the woes on the BM forum are noted after 150k miles.

Landrover niggles generally start the moment a new owner puts the key in the ignition.

You won't get to see the match if your going in the LR/RR but of course you'll be at home or in the pub watching it on a jap product without a thought

Chaps,
I have an answer.
Identify all your Land Rover niggles, ie terminal issues,.
I'll put them to the chaps that matter and feed back the information.
But seriously, do it.
Sounds stupid I know, but I'm seeing them next wek.
Any positive idea is welcome and will be credited. No nicking of stuff.
So, if you have any good ideas, let them be heard
