Hah! Don't get me started on that!
Bad LSP, Bad LSP! Think happy thoughts! All is nice, all is well, beer is good, cider is better. What pretty flowers! Its a pity some people aren't as nice as flowers!

crazymac:
I'm assuming from this that they have given you a Navara?

If they are good enough for the Coastguard Recue Service then they are good enough for you lot!!!!

Even though thay are hateful things that self destruct!

With things being tight and companies trying to save money, etc there's been a list of things not to buy doing the rounds for a while. These can be because of build quality or cost of maintanance etc. Land Rover is on the list.

LSP, Gotcha!!!!

A few years back, the MCA used to issue the Coastguard Rescue Service 4x4 vehicles that had road tyres on, I.E. what they came from the factory with! This was particularly prevelant with the Jap models.

Unfortunately it was tragic circumstances that got them to change their minds on this. One of my colleagues further north went off a 200ft cliff backwards and the blame for this was laid squarely on the tyres. Within days, every 4x4 vehicle on CG service was issued with mud terrain tyres!!

We're now going through a period where people have forgotten this incident and are now getting us to log how often the vehicles are driven off road, how severe the terrain was, how many miles was driven etc. They will use this at a later date to justify sending vehicles out with road biased tyres! Totally forgetting that these vehicles can be driven a bit slower on the road to compensate for tyres but need to perform 100% offroad!!

Bishops Finger:
Navarra's don't self destruct....I think...that why there isn't a web site for such issues....
