Thread: Fess up how many had a vehicle break down this week end?

You may lose some business if the D2 drivers start checking things.

Remarkably it's never a defender or other model that finds them selves stuck. I did see a prado being winched up on a flat bed on Saturday

Defender drivers are deaf so don't hear bits dropping off, they trundle on leaving a trail of Land Rover parts throughout the landscape.

Got to watch those bloody hair dresser SUV's though, bloody L322's, whenever there's a hint of rain the ABS ****s itself and the brakes lock up. Now the D2 mightn't be in the same 'class' but it is the last real 'off road' 4WD Disco Land Rover made

Deano

We didn't go anywhere over the long weekend But in the coming weeks i will be towing a 1.5T boat with my D2a from Geraldton along the coast stopping at Onslow, broome, One Arm Point and Kununurra before ending up at Honeymoon bay just North of Kalumburu a distance of about 4,000K's.
I'll let you know in a few weeks how the Disco fares when I get there

Not this one sorry Mar`s
Just spent 4 Day`s in the VHC towing my 1200kg camper dodging the idiot mario brothers jap brigade

My D2 was absolutely faultless this weekend. Mind you, it wasn't driven anywhere.

My RRS was faultless all weekend as was the RRC. Oh but wait - yep I forgot we caught the train to the caravan and camping show (where if LR was mentioned it induced scowls) and RRC was stored under cover. So perhaps not an accurate representation
