But a bit more peeved if that is proper paint, not mere stickers.

Noticed lurking in the background "Ron Smith recycling Ltd" along with the guy in the hi vis jacket.
Are they eyeing up an opportunity?
I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.
If either of them had done the smallest bit of research before they bought one they might have had some idea about what they were buying into. Serves them right. Look at me I did my research and I have had nearly 2 years of faultless driving and not had to spend a penny on it The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the best of everything they have.

I did my research too - just about everyone said don't buy a LR because they are unreliable but I ignored them and from 2000-10 was like a dog with 2 tails - 2 FL1s, 2 D2s and 2 FL2s all faultless
It was going so well but I've almost got over the hell of owning 2 RRS and a DS between 2010-16
All except swmbos FL1 (which gave me no bother) were under warranty but still cost me dearly in wasted time and stress getting them sorted
Nothing comes close to a LR especially if it's behaving but LR need to up their game on customer service - I will be buying No10 when they do
I'm relying on you lot to tell me when they sort their act Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

5 Land Rovers and 200,000 miles later, I'm very happy with my lot and glad that I'd ignored pictures like these
Without knowing the whole story (and both sides of the argument) this stuff is pretty meaningless and could even be completely unfair

My old bus is ridiculalosly reliable but then I don't let Land Rover techs anywhere near it. Unfortunatley unless the computor tells the tech what is wrong then anything else is outside their scope and capability.
Anyway, it seems that Land Rover still haven't learnt despite being told in many creative ways......

And this is what i say to everyone who looks at them..
Also with the "cant you afford the real range rover?!"
The last one i said that to gave me a dirty look across the meeting room for 30mins, but then she does believe the 2.0 engine will have enough guts to pull it and her horse and horsey box along the road with ease... I may have also suggested it wasnt a horsey box but a tesco burger box FFRR Owner, very nearly became a D3 owner
Test piloted a new D4 XS SDV6.. Gone and being forgotten i hope!!

The prat of an owner could just take it for a blat along the M4 to clear the DPF.
Not sure what he's after other than I bet he wants them to give him a full refund because he wants to buy something else.
"See you in court" would be my response to him.
If I were the dealership, I'd put a hoarding around it. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
2012 RRS SDV6
2008 RRS TDV8

How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"
