You mean they are both fake news?
Many a headline only has a brief whisper at the truth ...

What if my Land Rover was off the road and I was fetching parts in the wife's motor (not a green oval) and something happened to that motor, would that preclude me from asking for help?

That is what the point of this discussion is about. If you are a member on here then that may mean yes you would get support if not in a LR product. BUT if you are new just signed up member then I would have to think IMO it would mean no.
It would potentially help stop abuse of it as a free "rescue" for chancers.

A lot of food for thought there. A good service (for want of another word) is clearly being abused in this case.

No but you should be rescued by an inferior vehicle to maximise embarrassment.

If you're happy to go and help, whatever information is or isn't available then it's your choice.
If when you get there and it ain't what it seemed or it's straightforward or it's a bit dodgy or it's completely FUBAR, if you proceed it's your choice.
If you don't feel confident/competent or it's just too risky, it's your responsibility to back out.
The risk assessment starts when you're reading the info available on here and continues dynamically until the situations resolved or not attempted. Your choice.

Interesting question would be how did the stuckee, find LZ? As they are driving a sukiyaki ?
Did they just search for free rescue services? Are they an old LZ member? do they own a LR product which is how they knew of LZIR?

I'd like to think that applied to us poor buggers who are not LR owners at present ...

I think you will find you would fulfill the criteria for being a known member................LOL.
As opposed to a newly joined chancer...
That is the point I am trying to make.

I would come and help you if you were on a skateboard, because you are my mate.
I doubt if I would help someone with one post, whatever they were driving. Unless they were at severe risk, and I was close enough to be able to help.

Poor bugger? Surely you're financially better off for not owning a land rover
Do you want one?

A huge issue here is the OP's original request. The impression given was that this would be an easy rescue on good terrain. Had I seen the post originally i'd have offered to help.
Whilst a photo might not always be practical due to mobile signal, in this case it would have allowed LZIR members to make up their mind as to whether it was a safe job to attempt. As might an honest description.
LZIR does an excellent job, and I would still happily turn out to assist. However, i would be very unimpressed if i turned up to a situation and it was not as described.
How we make this work I dont know. There will always be an element of risk, and that is something that people willing to respond have to make up their own minds about.

Yes and maybe ... being in Lunnen precludes some LR products ... that and the insurance premium ...

Reading through this lot it looks like he got stuck Christmas day as that was mentioned and that the crv would stay there another night was also mentioned , and now transpires no insurance, LZIR was defiantly being used as a free recovery service which is not right,
it seam`s all the full info was not forthcoming at the start, if it had been a different line of approach may have been taken.
Hat`s off to the guys that went out.
