Thread: why do landys have such a bad rep

the japs have got to sling it at em...

give an object enough bad press and the public believes it.

I have a two and a half ton silver lemon in my front yard,,,

do you really want me to answer that???


Having said that--
my first ten years of Land Rover ownership was peachy

Lol fair nuff but I did have a Hilux the cost me 8 grand in parts starting from the day I bought it

The jappers all have little willies and are just jealous of us big boys in our land rovers.

Its got me beat why I still hang on to mine. Commonsense says I should buy a Prado. But doing that, would be like getting a Lobotomy so I don't have to think about how boring my job is.
I think having this forum sometimes causes unnecessary worry, by reading about every other owners problems. So far Ive had a Good run with it for a ten year old fourby. Touch wood.
What amazes me is how Toyota owners, seem to forget about all the things that break or cost a leg on there cars. Ive never struck it as much with owners of other makes.

The Landy has a personality.
Yes it can bite you and take your wallet with it but it also puts a smile on your face. Landy's often do the hard stuff as a norm so you see the worst of it.

I have had a cruiser owner close their bonnet when we passed to open it again once we were round the corner, Yes we stoped and looked back and laughed. We even drove back 10 mins later to bust them trying again to hid the fact it was broken down.

Haha I love it.

I didn't know Landies had a worse rap than any other Fourby?? Like any make and model you can get the odd bad one (eg Freelander 1 petrol 1.8 litre motor) but in general they are as normal as any other make!!
