Well you don’t need to worry because Land rover have lost the MOD contract to Mercedes, who are going to provide something like the Germans have. The wolfs don’t have the load capacity etc that is now needed with the new radio systems i.e. Bowman. Because it is such a heavy system the MOD is having to buy trailers for most vehicles because there is simply not enough room internally or externally and the axles cant carry the weight. With Land rover loosing such an important contract, what with spares and specialist repairs. It could very well mean they close the whole 90/ 110/ wolf etc models down as there simply is not longer a mass market for the out dated model. [email protected]
 
Well, if that's true then it's quite an eyebrow raiser. While other countries are quick to go to whoever offers them the best deal (however you define that ;) ) the British always go for a home-grown product if at all possible. So dropping an icon like Land Rover in favour of a Merc (G Wagen?) is really something :cool:
Must admit, though: the new G Wagens in service with the Dutch are excellent.

Been reading a squaddies forum and they aint that impressed with the G Wagon.
And certainly not in favour of them over land rovers.
 
Just found this.
Heavy radio system??? My mobile phone cost 30 quid and weighs under 4Oz!!!! What the hell are they trying to reach?? Mars?? Or is all the weight due to the handsfree kit they will have to have???
Is this the radio system they should have got 20 odd years ago???
