Yeah, they're really great vehicles.

I went into Battery World the other day for a new unit for the mobile
phone.

Late model andy Discovery pulls in, turns off motor, asks for new
battery.

Time for me to go, Landy owner has bonnet up, lots of heads under
bonnet playing with electrics, batteries etc,,,,,,,,landy no go. Landy
never look like going.

I start trusty Tata twin cab, think about giving them a tow start and
decide if your gonna buy a landy then youd better get used to fixing it.

Landy owners telling jokes at others expense. Thats a bit rich :-)

Disclaimer: Being bored at work, dribble usually follows. If your not
into dribble, just ignore the all of this.

Having owned a LR for 8 years now, the only good thing about a LR is
that they have always come with the automatic oil level detection
system. The detection system works a bit like this: when ya can see your
concrete driveway again as being proper concrete colour (ie, no oily
patches any more), then it is a bit over due to add more oil to the
gearbox/transfer(s)/diffs.

The only part of the vehicle I've never had any drama's is, the little
old 200tdi engine. With only a bunch of wires going to the engine
(starter, glow plugs, fuel solenoid, oil temp, RPM from alternator), it
has never ever missed a beat. Pretty much nearly every other component
has played up though.
I'll have jinxed me self now. It'll probably decide to seize up tomorrow
morning....

Stuff that I've broke:
2 transfers, 4 gearboxs, 1 diff, front and rear ARB lockers (yep, broke
them), 1 rear maxi locker and axles (unbreakable...? I broke it), drive
shafts, CV's, air conditioning, wipers, blinkers, lights, 1 power
steering box, 1 p/s pump, 2 'unbreakable' ball joints, 4 cd players and
6 cassette players (dust ate them all up)...

ho hum.

Not many people know that the manufacturer of Land Rovers attempted
to market a computer. Why did they stop? They could not find a way to
get it to leak oil!

A Land Rover doesn't leak oil, it marks its territory.

Did you hear about the man whose Land Rover didn't leak oil?

The factory took it back and worked on it until it did.

Did you hear the one about the guy that peeked into a Land Rover and
asked the owner "How can you tell one switch from another at night?
They all look the same. " "He replied, it does not matter which one
you use, nothing happens !"

The Lucas motto: "Get home before dark."

Lucas is the patent holder for the short circuit.

Lucas - Inventor of the first intermittent wiper.

Lucas - Inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.

The three position Lucas switch - Dim, Flicker and Off.

The Original Anti-Theft Device - Lucas Electrics.

"I have had a Lucas pacemaker for years and have never had any trou...

If Lucas made guns, wars would not start.

Back in the 70's, Lucas decided to diversify its product line and
began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they
offered which did not suck.

Q: Why do the British drink warm beer?
A: Because Lucas makes their refrigerators

Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone. Thomas Edison invented
the Light Bulb. Joseph Lucas invented the Short Circuit

Lucas's statement: A 1000 Pound ECU will protect a 20 Pence fuse by
burning first.

LR Interchangeable parts won't.

Do you know what the outcome of the landrover assist program was. I heard
that it was getting the shaft. Just adds to the value really. LMAO twice.

They have canned it - but not really.
they still have it, but dont tell people when their $$ is due, so when
u break down, your f.cked!

So a slow hard way to can it really

it would be costing them 10's of billions a yr to recover every dead
freeloader LMAO
