Help Me Crush My Range Rover
Grant:
First dibs on the back seat if you crush it- been looking for an RR seat to turn into a Top Gear style sofa for my bedroom!
A few hundred towards the £60k cause isnt much but every little helps (as tesco say) :lol:
Range Rover Ron:
I'm not suprised at Land Rover's lack of interest in their products and after service, I have had bad experience with LR in the past.
I am an mechanical engineer and bought a second hand Discovery with 60K on the clock 11 years ago, I soon found a rattling coming from the engine and discovered that the woodruff key on the damper pulley/crank shaft had been badly "fitted" during build, the key was loosely fitted and wore away the key and the slot in the shaft.
I sent my findings in a mechanical presentation to LR explaining from an engineering point of view what had gone wrong and how it had been badly fitted, LR said that as the car was second hand they could'nt give two **cks. My main point was that who ever owned the LR it should not develope a major mechanical defect within 60K! and I proved it was a badly fitted part.
A mate of mine had a similar aged/miles second hand Shogun that developed a problem with it's engine, the engine was replaced without any fuss by Mitsubishi even though he was not the origial buyer.
I did the repair myself, at my cost and made sure it was "fitted" properly and I have to admit, despite what many people say about LR's, my Discovery has now done well over 180K and in the 11 years I have owned it, it has never let me down, done everything I've eveer asked it to do (like towing my caravan all over Europe) and been a fantastic car, if only Land Rover were as good at after sales as other manufacturers. :twisted: :evil: :evil: :twisted: :evil: :twisted: :evil:

A guy on the pug forum is doing/saying exactly the same thing.
skucera:
I'm really surprised that so many forum members rose to nibble at troll bait. Hamster posted a provocative post saying he wanted to crush a new car the day after he registered on the forum. It's like nobody here has ever seen a troll before. Wow. Here we are five pages and nearly a month later still debating the subject as if it were plausible.
