So you are happy replacing light/indicator switches regularly because Land Rover forgot to fit headlight relays?Quote:

Some mods improve the practicality of the vehicle - by fixing landrover's stuff ups (to paraphrase rick).
IME a (sensibly) modded county will sell for more than a stock county - for vehicles of similar condition overall.

Price is probably what it is worth, just a case of timing if the buyer is out there...
The problem (as Rick said) is landrover doesn't build finished vehicles, but they build base that's ideal for customisation.Quote:

Not when you compare it to one only recently sold, but someone might be willing to pay a premium !Quote:

I'm thinking of those willing to pay larger dollars for the Td5 vehicles lol.
In my profession, we call this 'group-think'...
do we need to ask what 'your profession' is
Is that similar to the lemming suicide myth :wasntme:Quote:

For example- 'my 110 extreme TD5 is powerful reliable and tough because it is fitted to the Land Rover 110 therefore it must be tough and strong and it's had a lot of work done to it'. Where this behaviour is discernable as a pattern amongst people, then it's called group-think. Sometimes, even the sheer weight of evidence is not sufficient to alter the belief. There is a great deal of research into this phenomena esp with regard to the operation of bureaucracies and company boards. A famous example is the Ford Motor Company board of executives at the time of the production of the 'Edsel' motor car. Group-think has a more well known cousin- known colloquially in Oz as 'brown-tongue'.Quote:
