I never got the point of taking something meant for hard work and rough terrain, then turning the inside into something you wouldn't dare wear a pair of muddy boots in. I used my mate's 110 defender for deerstalking and shoot days for years. It had a fully metalled load bay, you could chuck 10 fallows in the back and then hose it out with the power hose used to fill the farm sprayer. You could get 3 in the front, 8 beaters in the back plus dogs and a few on top or sitting on the bullbar. It needed uj's frequently but never got stuck. That's what a Landrover's for, the new ones all look like a tart's boudoir. The old girl's still going, though semi retired now. The beaters used to call it the Deathstar on account of the amount of carcasses it used to carry. Final comment on JLR - looks great, don't work.

I had an interesting Landrover experience recently. Heading up the highway out of the city here, the traffic ground to a halt (on the uptrack) where looking across the highway I saw a lady standing next to her new Landrover with the bonnet up and an AA van in behind. While I waited a tow truck arrived an pulled in front to load the dead Landriver. Slowly our traffic lanes started moving and eventually up the hill around the bend we came across the source of our holdup, another new Landrover was being pushed by a bunch of people to clear the lane. Ive never seen dual failures of the same car simultaneously before. Maybe they all stopped everywhere.. lol

Is it time to resurrect the old Lada / Skoda jokes? Anyone got a filler cap for a Land Rover? Yeah, that sounds like a fair swap….. Anyway, imagine being that poor JLR member of staff, you’ve got no recourse, no effective comeback, your customers know that the product is piss poor and you can’t source the parts and I imagine that head office have left a phone in a small room all on its own, it rings and rings, no one hears it, no one answers it, emails bounce back, customer service managers can’t get through, can’t change anything for the better, I hope that they are all earning a decent wage in order to make up for the fact that their customers are getting increasingly pissed off.

Hi Geoff: just thought you may be interested: I was driving down the A19 near York this afternoon on Shipton Road southbound. Near a roundabout at the end of Shipton road there was a totally burned out car in the layby on the northbound side. Police had closed the road, possibly for forensic investigation. The car was the sole vehicle in this incident. The car was basically a burned out shell when I passed it, the driver had apparently slightly burned hand/ hands. In the news items online in all the York news it did not state the type of vehicle anywhere. I believe it may possibly have been a Tesla, or very similar shaped EV. There did not appear to be a radiator, ICE engine etc, the bonnet section was just collapsed burnt ashes on the ground. I highly suspect this may have been an EV; however, it is very suspicious how the news and media have not mentioned the type of vehicle. An ICE vehicle usually does not burn out the complete vehicle - a classic sign of an EV vehicle fire.

I am a surviving former owner of a then new Disco 3. In the back of the owner's manual there is a local bus timetable. Apparently the Range Rovers come with Taxi Charge dockets to get you home.

Way back- in about 1978- my brother bought a brand new MG Midget. Inca yellow with black rubber bumpers, delivered to the dealer with 26 miles on the clock. He got rid of it after about 10 months, because he only actually got to drive it for a total of 4 weeks. The rest of the time it was in the dealership, being repaired or, more commonly, waiting for a spare part that couldn't be sourced because Longbridge was on strike again. You'd think things would have improved in 45 years..................

I don't understand why people are so negative, they complain about the car leaking when it rains, but are they grateful for them not leaking when it's good weather? Mind you Land Rover is the perfect car for Saudi Arabia and such hot countries, and for 2 reasons, besides the 4x4: 1. It never rains and therefore you are safe with the leaks 2. Stealers would keep your car up to scratch at all times because they need their hands to work on it.

My neighbour waited 11 months for his Range Rover, after constant issues with the immobiliser and the emergency brakes applying themselves, which JLR could not fix, he returned the car and now drives a Nissan that cost less than half of what he paid for the disappointing Range Rover.

What do you expect people? RR/LR products have been terrible for 20 years, and they continue to get worse. It's the plonkers that keep buying them that make me chuckle!

Our Defender 90 300TDI County SW will be 30 this year... old enough to be out by herself! All of our children and grandchildren have loved this truck... lots of engineering from wonderful English companies... people ask to buy her in car parks etc, thanks but no thanks...! Great channel Geoff!

When I travelled by car in Eastern Europe, I just had 3rd party insurance. No-one wanted to steal an RHD car, even if it was a 3 litre mercedes diesel estate.

JLR Sold over 100k cars last year alone so this is still only a small number of bad reviews and most of them don't even own a landrover mine and thousands of owners are problem free and insured.

Probably not the greatest chat up line ever. You pick up a beautiful female hitchhiker in your Land Rover. In the middle of nowhere the engine stops. Then you give her the punchline "I'm sorry, luv. The car's broken down. You'll have to get out and walk".

Well, ever since my service writer at Audi told me that her boyfriend, who is a JLR mechanic, forbade her to buy a Land Rover, I don't even look at them anymore. Way to ruin your reputation when customers at other brand dealerships are educated about the quality at JLR.

It’s the parts manufacturers that are the problem not JLR assembly so much, JLR basically just screw shit together, I was employed by an agency specifically to inspect one item at a firm in Studly Warwickshire,( on the left going towards Brum, begins with an R)because they were just making scrap, I had to inspect & repair seat pans, holes wouldn’t line up, bad for quick assembly, and the holes for the seat belts was so sharp and serrated it would cut through the belt, when I asked if it would be cheaper to make new tooling I was told JLR wouldn’t give them time or a price that would warrant a break in production, I had a bollocking one day because I hadn’t repaired enough that day and the lorry was waiting , if he didn’t arrive on time they would refuse them, so it was my fault that they were making scrap components that couldn’t be delivered on time, I had to adjust and repair every single component that day, 16 pallets, 16 on a pallet, the was one Polish guy who was drilling holes with the tip broken off the drill and had hadn’t noticed. After 3 months I quit, basically I was an inspector that they didn’t want to inspect because it was causing problems. This is a very condensed post of what happened

My 14 year old B class Mercedes has been of the road for ond day every year for servicing and on one accasion for 2 day for a repair. We have done 76,000 miles so far without any problem. I don't think I will trade it in for a Rover 🎉

My neighbours boss has 2 new defenders and Range rover vogue also new , all 3 bought from JLR direct and he tried getting insurance through Land rover, but apparently if you live on Home counties there not touching them! No one wants to insure them in the southeast due to theft. They won't even insure them! Ended up paying an astronomical amount.

Whenever we hear about massive problems currently, there is always the Tata group behind it. Bad banking service in Germany -> IT run by Tata. Bad cars of once famous brands with no spare parts available-> Tata Motors. Steel plant closing down -> Tata Steel.

Clarkson's funny quote when commenting on his range rover in the Bolivia special. "Range rover designed by Charles Spencer King, who was unquestionably a genius. Unfortunately it was then built in the Midlands. Everything was that'll do, that'll do. An unbelievable piece of design ruined by monkeys"

I am just here to read the comments to see how many owners claiming that their JLR product makes a Lexus look like a high-mileage poorly poorly-maintained Trabant. How theirs has gone 250k miles with nothing more than an occasional oil change and windshield washer fluid top-up.

The main big problem, JLR no longer made in the UK. Another reason why we shouldn't be shipping out our manufacturing base across the world. Edit: Range, strange these cars are Range Rovers aren't they?

What I don’t understand is this.. people buy these expensive Range Rovers knowing that they are the most unreliable and expensive cars to run yet cry when their vehicles break down. Remember, Range Rover is owned by Tata Motors who are not know for quality, safety or customer service, just profit.
