Last week at a Landrover Main Dealer - Isle of Wight
The Demonstrator Discovery 3, in the show room - won't start.
Technicians CANT open the bonnet! I quote 'well, the only Tech that's been on the training course if off today..........................'
Vehicle pushed out of the showroom awaiting attention, with the bonnet still closed.....!!!!!!

I passed some of these on a transporter today. They look bloody awful. The Disco has had unique styling for years, it works and it stands out from the rest because of it. This new thing looks like something the Japs would make.

Well at least they knew which button to press to get the handbrake off.
Well so Ford have not had an adverse effect on Land Rovers reputation for build quality and reliability then.
Actually I quite like the look of the thing (Flame suit at the ready). I was sent a brochure and CD from the local dealer and there are some pretty impressive gismos. I see Solihull have finally accepted that there is a place for an axle diff-lock, (electronically operated) And especially for the Sainsbury's run there's a system for showing in which direction your front wheels are pointing. The Satnav will navigate from A to B even without tracks or roads. All in all pretty cool if you want to use it in the Australian outback, the Sahara desert or the American prairies, but a bit of an overkill for UK green laning me thinks.
Would suit me as a work vehicle down to the ground. My present LR product is too flash so I have to make do [LOL] with my trusty Land Cruiser. When this comes up for replacement [when it has over 200k miles or is written off], then the Disco with those essential bits and pieces will be at the head of my shopping list. Of course, by that time maybe the RR will be old enough to become acceptable to my rather envy-prone customers.

ooo at last, a gps for properly beating traffic jams... none of this alternative route nonsense. traffic jam ahead? hang a left, through the fence, through the field, through the hedge and awayyyyy
Regards. Mark.(AKA, Mr.Nice.)
Quote (paraphrased, though the last bit is almost verbatim) from LRO: Not only did the Satnav place me correctly on my driveway, but it also told us the name of the greenlane we were driving on. That's not just clever, that's bordering on smartarse.
Cheers, Aled.
