Have been on the tratter forum fer a few days reading their freds. Some might say a sacrifice to far, but that’s the only way I could think of ter try ter understand the durdy ole bastids. All this talk of tratters being betterer got me wondering. What faults do tratters have? And are they really different to Freelanders?

I can confirm tratters have the following faults/faulty parts:

turbo’s, steering, bushes, bearings, master cylinders, leaking sunroofs, diff’s, transfer box, gearbox, wiper motor, locks, clutch, oil leaks (of which there is plenty), tracking, fan belts, gear change, engine starting, engine cutting out, loss of engine power, hgf, brakes, alternator, chassis protection, wheel nuts, steering pumps, water leaks, electrical wiring, lights, eggsource, air con, key fob, clanking, knocking, drive shafts…

So as much as they’d like us to believe different, Freelanders int much different to tratters, apart from they’re little problem wiff rust. Something that Freelanders dun’t suffer wiff. The one common theme is that both Freelanders and tratters are land rovers. :)

I wiped me feet on the way out. To be fare to um, they did advise that themselves. hgf int as popular in the durdy tratter boy buscuit tin section, as it is over here. :eek:
 
Morning Hippo, you Honorary Durdy Old Tratter Boy You :welcome2::welcome2:;);););), bet you kept that quiet around here:p:p:p:p

Fenders don't have 'Leaking Sunroofs' it's a safety device to prevent you dropping off at the wheel, every so often a couple of drips of freezing water down the back of your neck keeps you alert.;)
Fenders don't have 'Oil Leaks' they are simply marking their territory, so everyone knows "A durdy ole tratter boy lives here".;)
Faulty lock on a Fender:confused::confused::confused::confused:, we're supposed to have locks, whatever next:doh:;).
A lot of our 'chassis protection issues' are as a result of going onto damp grass to tow Gaylanderers to safety after they haz got themselves stuck, that damp grass can be a bugger;), and has even been known to make doors fall off:D:p:p:p:p.
 
......... I didn't know Tratters had a gearbox, always thought they were welded in 1st gear!

....... also didnt know they had brakes, just thought they rolled to a halt when their electrics died :p

........ air con!??? rolling down ones window does not classify as air conditioning.;)

.......... turbos!!?? I bet they're those chinese whistle things they stick on there eggsauce, to make the appropriate sound

keep up the good work Hippo I bet theres more treasures to be unearthed. :cool:

I hope the mud didn't get anywhere near your doors, the moisture in it could cause your doors to fall off, and if there was any quantity of it you might need a Tratter to tow you to the safety of the tarmac :p:p:p:p:p:p:p;););)

no fear of getting near mud, mines strictly for the streets, atm, I know that dont sit well with most, but each to their own.

There, there, never mind, is there no other Gaylanderers local to you who could come round and comfort you at this difficult time :5bgrouphug:, or do you live away from good public transport links, this could explain you loneliness as all the others Gaylanderers may have broken down and they can't get to you. Or have you got a high kerb?? this may also prove too much of an obstacle:D:5bsvengo::5bsvengo:

;);):rolleyes:
 
ty for your sincere concern over my loss, thats a great comfort from a tratterboy ;)

Alas all my fellow local freelander drivers are having pedicures and highlights done, then will be polishing their rims and waxing their paintwork before retiring for the night.

I will try to be strong in my solitude, sympathy text's & pm's are flooding through as we speak, they are boosting my self esteem.
