I own many Land Rovers and know they are not perfect, but what vehicle is. Anyways, I thought this guy and his site were amusing. He seems to have a lot of free time on his hands to rant and rave like he does. Maybe he needs to take that six foot tree trunk out of is anal-retentive ass? Just a thought, eh Francis?

Even the Landroversarelemons link he provides is a lemon, I couldn't get on to it, error page could not be displayed. Gee this guy is having a bad run, mention anything with landrover and it doesn't work. He better stick to a bicycle! |

Bahaha! Only in the shop 14 times in 15 months? I am averaging more than that with my '02 Discovery. In the last month alone I have had the t-case and a hub assembly replaced.
Its like I am Norm walking into Cheers when I go into Denver South LR's service department - "Mike!" Only without getting handed a beer : (

OK, so maybe 9 out of 10 Rovers are lemons. But hey, if life deals you lemons, make lemonaid |

Is this the guy who put street tires and "special" wheels on his RR? Well, right from the start, this guy had the wrong idea about these trucks. He bought it for the status. If you buy a Land Rover for the status, you're asking for dissatasfaction!

that guy was an idiot. Did you see his response on why he didnt have it service checked before he bought it?
"because they are a friend of someone who works at a sister dealership, and i trusted them?"
Pleeez....have some responsibility for your own actions. BTW, i have some land i need to sell him. |

That was funny. Thanks for the link. I just love listening to helpless babies whine! So the car dealer is screwing you...what's new? Do something about it or shut up. I guess he did do something about it - he gave up and took the trade-in loss. What a pussy. And what a loser - dedicating all that time, effort, and expense to creating that site. He probably also has a website called something like "The 1001 reasons my ex-wife is a bitch" complete with history, photos, links, and other tidbits of self justification. What a moron! I do, however, like the "click on the oil stain photo to enter" LOL |

My pussy hurts, bla bla bla...LandRover screwed me because my plastic "FOB" on my key is broken, oh how could they sell me a used LandRover with no warranty and then not fix it for free. BAWHAHAHA!!!
Hey "Francis," would you like me to cut your steak into little, itty, bitty, tiny pieces for your yuppy azz?
What a tool, someone email this fool and let him that he is the brunt of our humor. |

I would have an ex if I was dumb enough to by that POS without a third party inspection.
My only saving grace on the POS D1 i have is the wife picked it out i wanted to go with a D11 for 5k more.
Another really bad move on his part was to take possession and leave the lot without all repairs and promises in writing. Bad JUJU
I trust car sales men about as far as they bounce off my bumper, there # object is to close the sale. Buying a new car you have more leverage on them...
I am lucky to be able to do all my own work. I would have to sell the house and stop feeding the Great Dane to afford all the repairs listed below at Pioneer Centers, there labor Rate 75 per Hr with a min of 2 hrs, last time i asked.
List of repairs to my 97 D1 in the last 2 years and I bought it with 47k from a lease return auction. My screw-up there currently it has 62K
New Heads, in process possibly 2, 02 sensors and need to have injectors cleaned and balanced
Replace cracked power steering fluid reservoir
All new power-steering hoses
All new coolant hoses
All new brakes and rotors
Muffler and removal of resonator
A new pass mirror
New turn signal arm
Right front Turn signal
Both rear bumper lights
Engine coolant temp sensor
Serp Belt
Lower pulley and seal
Oil pan gasket
Thermostat
Gas Cap
I rebuilt both seat switches
A new VSS
2 seat belts
Rear window seals on the fixed glass, cargo door is still pending.
All new suspension bushes.
New batt and positive and negative cables
replace the POS plastic radiator Drain plug with a Brass plug.
2 times the POS brake switch.
Drivers door lock.
3 of the 4 window regulators.
New alternator
Dropped the Transmission pan and did the filter and gasket.
Plugs and Wires
Fuel Filter and Air Filter
Put a set of extended Brake Hoses.
Replace sagging springs and blown wood head shocks
Replaced the tie and track rods, Bent tie rod and trashed Stabilizer
Did I post to the world I bought an over priced POS, no just took it in stride that I would rather drive a true solid axel 4x4 and no one else offers anything close for the money |

I sent him a not so accomodating e-mail earlier. He responded by telling me I spelled a word wrong, which I did. I just sent him another asking if it really was the car, or just the dealer that pissed him off.
It was probably the dealer, and I'll tell him all the mistakes he made when he responds to me, and that we are laughing at his expense.
Cheers,

I think we should all send him emails with pics of our Rovers and our driveways for Christmas. Or send him postcards from far away places our Rovers have taken us. |

If someone is sending him an email, ask him how he got his driveway SO clean. Hell, I wish my looked as good as his. Well, atleast then I know I have fluid in the car. when it stops leaking, time to refill. |

Dee,
No, he hasn't replyed yet, so I suppose we are right about him. It is a shame, really, I was going to really light his ass up. That kind of shit almost made me not get a rover initially. There is another site called "top ten reasons I hate my land rover discovery" that near ruined it for me.
I believe in freedom of speech, but the kind of stuff these guys do is borderline slander. Like the new consumer reports that calls the Freelander the best "car based SUV" they have tested off road. These ding-dongs need to get their shit in one pile.
Cheers, ... I feel better now.

salesmen - yeah -
I had a salesman tell me recently that "JD Edwards" had rated the Volvo cross-country wagon as the best off-road performing vehicle for under $40,000.
well, that pile of crap was $42,000 on the sticker, and I was so speechless after the comment that I just pretended to ignore it. |

ok ok - i deserve that Gil
i checked out the new "new" rangie yesterday; the sales-"person" (ha!) there was cool. so was the new rover, i might add. but it's too damn big! (arghhh). It reminded me more of my in-law's Expedition than my old classic. I can't see myself trying to maneuver that thing around downtown and my narrow, compact-car filled streets.
hmmm - I await the mini rangie.
I felt like real chump change ordering a new $10 bolt for the brake caliper on aging classic, wondering about how my next job interview is going to go LOL
apparently ball players are trying to buy them with 24" chromed out rims. I wanted to puke. You guys DO have your share of hard days. |

OK, OK, so this guy is bashing Land Rover. OK, he did buy a car w/out an ispection or warranty, so caveat emptor and all that.
However, I do give him some credit. The little people of the world finally have a voice on the internet to scream about problems. We don't just have to roll over when we get thoroughly screwed, as I would agree that he has, new or old, with or without warranty.
It is this kind of shit which made Rover get bought by BMW, then Ford. If they would have kept their shit together and produced less lemons here in the US, maybe they would still be standing strong on their own.
Oh well. Can't wait to see the Explorer with dual moon roofs called a Disco Series III.
