This is that flypaper bloke replying to Blob's post.I might be wrong m8y,but I would check your facts about BMW designing the Freeklander.I was always under the illusion that Land Rover designed this heap before BMW came along.Still that's not to say BMW's are not crap as well.slob said:that flypaper bloke needs to realise that the gaylander is a bmw and if he'd bought a proper landrover with a chassis he know it far better than them yank things...ere daft **** man did you really spend over six grand in a year on yer paperweight???
i bought a jag for less than that and not had any real problems with it, cept when a hose burst and due to me not wanting to stop in a dangerous place managed to bust the hg and warp the head. other wise it only been service items and a steering rack leak..and thats been over two years and countless zillion miles.
Only thing is,if you bought a double edged sword from land rover it would be blunt and they would charge you to sharpen it.slob said:yip i could but they wont do that either ..some will but this latest one wont..
It's because they can't spell,like you.slob said:why do ****s that sell on ebay have difficulty in writing the word france on packets... the number of nobends that refuse to send to france is staggering.. whats is the problem with writing france instead of UK... is it because it uses more ink?
Sounds like my motoring history as well.Boxer said:Sorry Flyboy i was having a pop at Army funding not Jeeps or anything else. I have a trouble free Hippo with 129k on the clock, Shouldn't say that as it usually is the kiss of death. I unfortunately am patriotic and believe in buying stuff made in UK , including Toyotas if need be, i never said they were better than Jeeps or any other marque, i was just relating a story i heard in a pub. Every landrover i've owned so far (4) has had its problems but i love them. prior to this Phycosis, i owned a rover 214Si ,poor, Montego 1.6, disaster, A lime Green Austin Allegro 1275 , the greatest car i have ever owned, various Triumphs of the Toledo/dolomite family, the worst designed car i have ever worked on, Two Vauxhalls, forgive me i was on drugs when I handed over the money, Morris Marina, Oh God!, triumph bonneville, ride it to work five days put it back together on Saturday. The point is. i believe in my sick deluded mind that i have never owned a bad vehicle. Then again I have never owned a new one and have never spent more than i could pay cash.
The above may be assembled in GB,but unfortunately 90% of the parts are still imported.It is not possible to buy a UK manufactured item any more (unless you want a loaf of bread or some cigarettes),both are full of crap.It's a pity that it has come to this,but who do you blame.The Mad Hat Man said:Nothing unfortunate in being Patriotic - just a pity we have to buy Sony, Toyota, Honda etc to do it! pity we aint more like the French - then we mite still have Royal Enfield, Triumph, Rover, Enfo ...........
