A couple of months ago after having the right rear tyre go flat whilst several hundred kms east from Marble Bar ie. middle of nowhere, the car lowered itself right down till resting upon the tyres and being a very narrow side scratching track the car bellied out on the track. Luckily for the Sat phone I called LandRover care and as the first people you talk to are glorified receptionists with no basic vehicle knowledge, you wait to be patched through to a mechanic somewhere all the while thinking of your next sat phone bill. I finally was able to speak to a mechanic and what I was to do to rectify the problem and upon asking if I can call him back direct if it didn't work out, he told me to be quick about it as he knocks off in 12 minutes !, it was going on to 5pm. I have previously written to LandRover Australia and asking for the first person you talk to, to know those few basic computer resetting procedures to get you going again, no response. LandRover Australia have a not-so funny way of promoting the brand here and they wonder why I would not recommend one to my family. I truly believe they think everybody uses them just to pick up the kids from school in a capital city. And again, who is that tosser who designed the car to lower every time there is a problem ?.
