Re Land Rover ... Is it true....

that brakes are very expensive on the LandRover. Also, trade in value is very low and bottom line a piece of junk. I have been wanting to get one but now I'm not sure. Anyone have any positive things to say about this truck?


What is a "LandRover" ?

Do you mean a Range Rover, a Discovery 1 , II or III, a Defender ? A series III, II or I, or a 101 ?

The brakes on my 101 are around 40 quid a set. That sounds cheap to me. Trade in on my 101 is more than I paid for it. ;-)

What a pathetic attempt at a troll.

A lot more nice things than I've got to say about you anyway - go quietly back from whence you arrived and stay there thank-you.

Buy one that already has brakes........duh!

Insulting Land Rover on a forum of Land Rover fans? Taken your meds? Seems to me you should be selling pork in Palestine.

Yup, it's all true.

Now go away and buy a Shogun, a Landrover wouldn't want you.

and they *really* have expensive brakes.

Motorbike engine in the front, electronically-controllable car engine in the back, small computer to match the car engine revs appropriately to the bike engine, and bob's your uncle!

Simple!

Now where's Autotrader and my toolkit....

Which Land Rover ?

I woudn't know about all these coil springed Johnny come lately's but I would not say brakes are expensive as a rule.

well, the Robin already drives the rear wheels, so really, all it needs is a front wheel drive from somewhere. Unfortunately, you'd have a job doing it within the weight limit, so it'd not get cheap tax.

Oh right, I thought it had a small engine up front that drove the front wheel, did that used to be the case or has it always been rear-wheel-drive?

I saw one made up with Ferrari decals once, mildly amusing..

always, AFAIK. The one with the tiddly engine and front drive was a Bond.
