Thr Rover is a member of the family, fix when hurt and you will be rewarded and reminded why you keep your rover. You do not get the same feeling from to many other makes. Its a Rover Thing.

[PAT303]

I know where your coming from,before leaving NSW I paid to get the T/C oil seal leak fixed and after more than a few hundred dollars it leak just as bad a couple of days after arriving here. Pat

[waynep]

You're right ... I go hot and cold too ...looking around at other ( Jap) stuff but it would never be the same.

[V8Landy]

we have all been there one way or another Mick.The love will shine through on the good day's:D.Cheers Brett

[Rangier Rover]

Once you love a Rover (as bad as it may seem at times) its hard to back to a rice burner. I have both here and for some reason the Rovers win the hearts. :D

[Patto110]

Sounds like a man problem to me.Push through mate its all the things that go wrong or breakn make up 99.9% of our conversations???I like her mate youll get out the gremlins.:D:D:D nillly a trip up north ey?

[scarry]

cant work it out either it seems to be a love affair that has its ups & downs.my old man always had them....there wasnt much else around in those days one of my brothers is nuts about them
its just a landy thing own anything else & you wouldnt understand


dont tell anyone but i have run a fleet of jap vans(for work) for the last 18 yrs & only ever had one oil leak & that was after a dogey mechanic stuffed it

[stirlsilver]

At my place we have a double bay garage, I have the series V8 landie and my house mate has a toyota corolla.

It was so typical, you could tell which side belonged to the landie because there is cardboard everywhere which is practically black with oil! And the corolla was spotless... Until recently :D.

I've started to notice some small drops of oil on the concrete, I think i'm going to have to recommend the cardboard treatment to him :p.

[hiline]

Scrap it and get a 130 :thumbsup:

Thought a Double Bay garage had the Range Rover on one side for wet days and the Mercedes convertible for sunny days.

Sounds like the Landie Leprosy is catching you had better inform the corolla.:D:D:DCheers Brett

[dandlandyman]

A love/hate relationship? Not so strange. It's just another way that, I believe, a good Land Rover's just like a good woman...

:D:D

[Col.Coleman]

Thats just the way things are. Italian bikes are the same. They are raw and unfinished, suffer the same unreliability probs but when everything goes right, woo hoo. Similar story to the women I have known.
It seems we need the frustrations to stir up the emotions, that is what creates the soul and the passion. Then when everything goes ok it seems all that more special. Who hangs around with a woman who agrees with everything, never rocks the boat, is too easily to please and basically doesn't give you any trouble? We all say we want it, but when we do we get bored pretty quick and move on. So it's just a test wannalandy to bring the 2 of you closer together.

Thats how you learn about your vehicle. By changing every single part in it 3 times. Bet a toyota driver doesn't have that knowledge:p

[scarry]

the tojo driver probably has more time to sit around having beers with his mates & spends less time cleaning the garage floor

cheers

[XSiV]

It's all about perspective. Light can't exist without dark to compare it too. The same with your Landy. If nothing ever went wrong you wouldn't appreciate the times when things are going right.

Besides it's just like Col. Coleman said:

I'd still just get a 130 :thumbsup:

I have been thinking about getting rid of the Disco and buying a tray back Nissan with the 4.2 in it. Until I had to push a track through the scrub for my family last weekend so they had a track to walk to horses on, took my neigbour with me and he couldnt believe where we went and what we did.

So the old girl stays albeit with some new rather heavy character line in her.:):):)

[XSiV]

don't do it! I had a nissan with a 4.2l and it was good but they have no character at all. You'd be bored stupid within days. ;)

[PAT303]

Can I at least give it a try? :p

Anyhow . . . one thing to remember about "those other cars" is that when they eventually go wrong, it's usually in a big way and you have to make the decision on whether to keep it or not.

With a Landie, you can fix things and just keep going - which is why I've had mine for 18 years. With another vehicle, rust, expensive parts that can't be repaired, complicated parts, or something like that will mean that it will be sooner rather than later when it will have to go.

Then there's the whole fun of driving an actual machine . . . :D

[PAT303]

So XSiV thats one vote,who else?. Pat

[blitz]

count me in I would love to have a series I soft top with Capstan
