I've seen all of the above with the likes of Bentley, AstonMartin, Mercedes, BMW and more so Audi, Toyota and Nissan so what you quote is nothing unusual for any mass manufactuer and I've seen worse. It happens. Just it seems it happens to you. If they are that bad then why do you have one? or is it a caravaner thing? Further, why don't you look at the average age of cars still left on the road.........Land Rover will probably be at the top then. |

Lr have a heritage and prestige that sells around the world - the main reason I bought my first FL1 despite tales of unreliability

Maybe this is worth making note of - if it's so. I have yet to experience getting rid of mine as it still functions well and puts a smile on my face when I drive it (hopefully this will continue).

I don't understand your point. Assuming you are correct - and only unhappy people vote. Then it stands to reason there are more unhappy owners at the bottom of the table than at the top. i.e. More unhappy LR owners than Honda owners (for example). So it is still valid?? Equally, if only unhappy people voted - the cars at the top of the table would not have such good ratings - obviously a lot more people were positive about the top cars than the bottom cars? And finally - if you look at how many cars Audi and BMW sell - I am not surprised you see a lot more broken down at the side of the road!! These figures are meaningful, but you choose to take note or ignore as you see fit. But remember the next prospective buyer of your used LR may be looking at these figures before making you an offer. So if you do love your LR and it gave excellent service, make sure you give it positive ratings at the next survey (Coming) 2016 RR Evoque td4 180 HSE Dynamc (Going) 2013 TD4 GS Auto - Santorini Black with black leather. Cold Climate, UK Lighting & Armrest Packs. Privacy Glass. LR Rubber Mats. Full size spare. 60 000 miles averaging 35mpg (Gone) 2010 TD4 Manual GS - Stornoway Grey. Sold at 3yrs old & 64k miles. Final average consumption 39.2mpg. |

You can buy a Casio watch for a few quid which will be accurate to a nanosecond over three million years.

I drove a Toyota Hilux 4x4 DC for 10 years - trust me, life is too short to drive a boring car. |
