Just 'bitter' or 'bitter and twisted'. Makes me wonder what i have let myself in for by buying one. Is it really that bad?

cost of repairs in one year - £6500.
exchange price of Hippoo - £5000.
cost of Hippoo - £8000

Oh dear. Maybe you just got a bad one.
I bet you have heard "should have got a TD4" a few times.

so how wud that stop the VCU seizing, the rear sub-frame attachment weld breaking, the leaking heater matrix, the prop shaft bearing going....... yu get the point?
and the TD4's have their own unique problems
yu ask Clutchdust about blowing the engine oil all over the road/garage/ etc
but the TD4 is the best of the bunch.
they do look nice

There's a few former Gaylander owners on here who have had problems and have now converted to being Defender (Tratta) or Discovery owners.
MHM and I are particularly bitter and twisted about Gaylanders.
I had 2 and they were both piles of crap and money pits (fortunately not for me, but for LR Warranty Dept).
