Major improvement in Land Rover quality...

sounds like its ok to walk around Chenoble because the radiation is less than it used to be.

So Rod it appears I was probably right when I said last year 1 in 10 Landys was a lemon ;-))
Toyota 7th, Nissan 19th, Mitsubishi 29th & Jeep 32nd. Pretty much follows sales patterns doesn't it?
Cheers Craig...........

I bought a brand spankin' Disco TD5 with all the bells and stuff - I was so glad to get rid of the thing.

Never again.

Okay I'll bite if only in fun....
Just where did the Australian made brand of 4WD come in all this?

Can anyone tell me, how this land was surveyed?…..
Was it Toyota?, Nissan?, Mitsu?…NO! NO! NO!

It was bloody Landy… (Yes, and some time camels).

Why suddenly everybody spiting on Landys???
Generally and very often bad drivers and bad
maintenance are responsible for some “lemons”.

Well, I'm not POME, but I love my Rover it take me where your Toyota takes you. We had problems at all, and had travelled off road a lot.

I'll offer a different perspective on this. I've taken my Land Rover back three times now. Each time was for piddling little things that had no effect on the actual running of the vehicle. Doubtless, each time I took it back it would have been recorded as a "problem", but in reality I couldn't have cared if the "problem" wasn't fixed. The thing is, Land Rover fix them! They always look at my problems, they never quibble about whether or not is a warranty issue, they just fix it.

On the other hand, my 2005 Pajero has been back to the Doctor's 8,234,786 times and unless the problem actually renders the vehicle unroadworthy, they won't even touch it. Do these get reported? I bet they don't. Mitsubishi have fought tooth and nail to avoid fixing anything on that piece of excreta and only give in when threatened.

So my point is, what good are these surveys when it is the manufacturers that do the reporting? They are open to gross distortion and in my mind are meaningless.

I don't care that people take the piddle about us having a Landy....when we get through tough terrain that the Tojos either struggle with or don't get through at all, I just smile and shrug my shoulders.

Cheers,

Russ.

Rather own a Landy then support those whaling Japs

I have always been a huge Landy admirer. I still am, but having owned one for a few years (no longer) I now prefer to admire them from afar. There is no way I would ever own one again.

My bank balance is still on the critical list but is out of intensive care now that 6 Landy Free months have passed.
