Wireless:
Hey, it was a 'good' car, until the crank shaft pulley wheel came off on the way home from work after midnight, in the middle of winter...I didn't stop to find out what had fallen off at 60mph, the charging light and temperature gauge told me all I needed to know, and I drove home the last 10 miles with dimming lights and boiling rad...I did get home too!

It was pretty reasonable off-road, and in snow too, the only downside was the fact that it was an allegro and used about as much oil as it did unleaded.

I always had crappy cars for commuting to work, the column change Renault 16 was pretty dire, I even once had a Ford Escort Mk2 1.3 Estate Automatic, now that was crap!  Took it away on holiday after I bought it, after a week in Cornwall it had a blowing exhaust and it became apparent that only one of the four road wheels had brakes that worked, brake fluid was leaking everywhere!

When people start complaining about things going wrong on a Landy I tend to think they have lived a rose tinted existence, or having had a new car every three years they must have different standards.

BAOR issue a drip tray for all Land Rovers and 4x4's operating in Germany, that has to tell you something!
