Not hard to IP6X all those components, it would just cost like $1 in total per car but we can't let that happen say the accountants who run the show when it should be the engineers that get the final say...

They probably need a new Customer Service Manager/Director in Australia rather than a Marketing Director.
Ideally one with the power to get things fixed under warranty and even outside warranty if it's a known problem !

Customer service is irrelevant if you don’t even want to buy a luxury SUV in the first place.
…and if you do, it’s mostly about the ‘image of adventure’ (marketing) and you most likely don’t need a service network outside the city anyway
Their top-selling vehicle is the Disco Sport, which is actually a nice vehicle, but more expensive than its rivals, so that reveals how they have moved away from the mass market.
Our son recently rejected it because of the price and bought a Mitsui Outlander instead.
He made a good decision. The mini me disco is just an expensive generic car with no Land Rover soul.Originally Posted by DiscoMick;[URL="tel:3098448"
The new Defender is a Disco 5 in a different (smaller) body.Originally Posted by scarry;[URL="tel:3098479"
The real Defender was a HD commercial vehicle. The new Defender is not fit purpose, it’s just another medium duty SUV, like all other current Land Rover models.
Looks like the new Defender is ahead,this is world wide sales.
"The Defender is really starting to make waves, selling a bit over 17,000 units in the three month period, not so far behind the combined 19,000 sales of the Discovery and Discovery Sport."
That was the first 3 months of this year.
It might also be the nail in the coffin of the Discovery,which is their lowest selling vehicle model,and is sort of floundering trying to find a place in their range of vehicles.No doubt the Defender is also stealing Disco sales.
