    Looks like there where prettty effcient at it.... If that was the LR factory the guy doing the leak testing would need scuba gear.

    When the first guy with the mullet was mucking around i saw the big shiny chrome pipe i thought it was going to be a video featuring some exotic over the top turbo charged euro buggy...sadly it wasnt.....

    yes the water test was excellent and yes they did check the alignment as well .... bet their roof lining never sags either...

    They look like the little Trebants, a pile of crap if there ever was one, you have to remember up until recently cars in Russia and Communist parts of Europe were prohibitively expensive and of bad quality and you had to wait years and years to get one and have four wheel barrow fulls of money.
    India still builds the Morris major as a new car and a few other relics long forgotten here, India is getting its act together though, last few years they have come along way with quality, still very behind the times but manufacturing wise they are getting so much better, Still I wouldnt touch a Landrover made there, I just dont think they have the know how to build such a complex machine and a milestone of modern engineering, its such a shame big buisness is so money orientated these days, its all about quantity and who can supply the cheapest parts and getting maximum dollar at same time and killing you forever with spare parts.

    Surely a Landrover without leaks is not a Landrover?

    India makes & exports machine tools, electric locomotives, diesel engines. Also make their own supersonic aircraft, nuclear reactors, nuclear weapons. How complex is a Land Rover in comparison? Like comparing a longbow to a Vulcan rotary cannon.

    Ha Ha, I'm sure Land Rover have done the same leak test over the years, it's just that some boofhead probably forgot to turn the water on. lol

    I just pulled my door seal down slighty to fix the gap. Maybe some tools like in the video would have been the correct method.:eek

    Excellent point! At the moment Indians make land-rovers with BRITISH quality control.

    Things can only improve under the new management
