Strange as it may seem, I tried to adhere one of those Support Our Troops yellow magnetic ribbons to my Land Rover Discovery. Haven't had the truck that long, but the ribbon didn't adhere to the usual places one one adhere the ribbon. I am wondering if the lack of magnetic capability is due to the fact that those parts were possibly in an accident and replaced by a body shop, or quite possibly the LR is constructed differently than American cars and the inside structure is not fully magnetic. Just curious.

Your LandRover sports an aluminium body! consequently it is generally non magnetic!
It's not made from steel!!!
It's aluminium.
Try the roof (Steel) ... Lee
F*ck that, the yank army will take that as a marker & missile the poor bloke!!
Thanks, I did find a few places that it adhered to. I had it on the door, then I moved it above the side window area.
It's not a truck, either ....
Hehe this reminds me of when my nice new magnetic Bluetooth GPS extension aerial arrived. Put it on the roof of my Defender and it slid off. D'oh! Fortunately the cyclone top on the snorkel is steel and it sticks like s to a b, and gets perfect satellite coverage to boot as it's the highest thing on my vehicle.

Truck truck truck! And snip yer posts ;-)
What is this, pedant's week?
You can of course fool it, put a mild steel plate on the other side of the aluminum panel and you're back to stb!
we've had this argument before!, and i believe it was you upside-down people who objected to the word 'truck' back then too ;)
I personally call mine a truck on occasion too :p
A 101 cannot be called anything else Tom!!
Well maybe it is according to the British Army who designate a Wolf as a Truck Utility Medium. though personally I thought a wolf was something that ran around in sheeps clothing.
Just whatever you do don't call it a jeep, though you can call a jeep anything you like so long as I care.
Well yours (and mine) IS !

I thought the wolf was "Truck Utility Light (Heavy Duty)" ?
If my (and other peoples) experiences are anything to go by, your missus probably knows a few more names for a 101 ;)
