Nissan responded, beefed the chassis at the rear hangers where they were breaking and upgraded the suspension. The stripped spline in the GU g/box between 2000-01 was a QA issue and long since overcome.
Land Rover weren't interested in helping or responding to the issues at at all.
Oh thats sounds familiar.
However in relation to the original question:
Just how much better is a Landy than a Toyota Troopy?
The answer is 14 % better.
But then you have to realise that 72% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
The other thing I forgot is the p-weak clutch they put in them. Take a Troopie in the sand and smell that burning clutch!
How many 30+ year old troopies do you see driving around.
How many series do you see
(a lot more)
That's the Landrover problem! In any other company, a managment team that ignores user feed back would be sacked. Then again, if Telstra were only buying a small qty, I can understand it.Quote:
