A D4, never even considered that. I'll have to haunt the D4 site, see if one is worth considering. With the K's on my D2, I know sooner or later , if I want to keep driving to those remote places we all love, I will have to find a replacement. Nothing goes forever, and I have been looking. Whilst looking, I've found there is no vehicle that does not have "issues ".No vehicle is " unbreakable ", and any one believing that is just kidding themselves. Sadly, with the costs of running a vehicle nowadays, [ rego & fuel etc] and my age , the stark realisation is that it may be more cost effective to ditch the 4x4 and just have one daily runner, use buses and trains , or organised 'tours ' , something I'm resisting . The old timers got it right, age does weary us, and the years do condemn. But, I'm sure the old girl has just one more big trip in her. [ No not SWMBO, she wants to go to the Undarra lava tubes, not to see the tubes, but to camp in a railway carriage. [bighmmm]]Tasmania is my destination of choice, and in a twisted sort of way, if the old D2 decided not to proceed during one last big trip, after all the great memories it has provided to our family , the fantastic places its taken us, well, that would be ok. Unbreakable? no. Issues? of course, like any other, but part of the memories. Reliable? you bet, never had problem I couldn't fix, and it has never left me on the side of the road /beach. A land rover is not just a vehicle, it is part of the family.Quote:

Who knows about capacity, but im sure they are pumping them out, we know the factory line is running and these prototyes seem to be from it.Quote:

But this is a thread you started about reliability not the new Defender ?!Quote:

No, initially I was commenting on vehicle reliability in general.Quote:

As I've mentioned in several threads the cost of purchase and maintenance mean that I'm not in LR's target market hence I'm not particularly interested.

This is bound to ruffle a few feathers.
What is really behind Jaguar Land Rover's problems in China
Hmm if your were not referring to the new defender in your original comment, you could have fooled me [emoji1787]Quote:

I didn't steer it, i was just responding to your comment about the new defender production. Of you were referring to some other mules, cool.
My replys still relevant to your comment and the subject of the thread.
Lets get back to the subject [emoji1417]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b1270385e0.jpg
That will kill the company.
Not sure if an 8month old outdated article is going to rustle any feathers, we discussed all that in the won't be retro thread.Quote:

The latest figure also reveal some good news from China in the shape of a 24.3 per cent rise over the quarter.
Jaguar Land Rover also celebrated a third consecutive month of double-digit sales growth in China.
During a period of continued growth in recent years China became Jaguar Land Rover’s largest market before sales plunged.
The fall in sales in China was described as one of the car maker’s biggest problems, along with declining demand for diesel vehicles and ongoing uncertainty over Brexit.
