broken landy

[mikecotterill]

You broke the cardinal rule of landrover ownership..........get squeaks and rattles investigated/ sorted ASAP, or they can become very pricey....

 

no mate youve got that wrong,( ive got six so should know:thumbup:), you need to leave the squeaks and rattles till something breaks or youll be looking forever theres that many of them. preventattive maintenance, not for me:lol:

I'm feelin for ya buddy I managed to kill ma series III that I was gonna turn into an arb van the same day I bought it, slid on some black ice an made friends with a bridge wall, stavin in the front bumper, breakin the leave spring, twistin the front axle an bendin the chasi! The poor thing is in Landy heaven now lol.

Best of luck sortin it out tho

Mine hasn't got any rattles, whines, groans or squeaks and it's on a p reg with a 155k under its belt.

 

In the 6 years I've owned it it has once broken down because I repair it as soon as it developes a squeak or noise and use preventative maintenace. I know there is absolutely nothing wrong with my landrover that a paint job wouldn't cure

Hahaha, just had a look out of the window Mike...... definately a defender 130

[tommer9]

Yeah despite my earlier comment, mine is problem free, with one serious breakdown in 7 years.......with a healthy fiscal policy of uber-investment too:lol:

[armchairarborist]

im all for preventative maintainance but i've been busy lately, at least it will come back in better condition than a cheap chinese new one and should last longer too.. not to mention the price.
