i think its better being built in halewood, it may not turn out like the p38, l322, or anything else thats been throw together in solihull. you never know it may even work..:doh:seen one in the flesh mate and the actual build car is exactly the same as the concept,just a shame its been built in halewood and not solihull
And you think the FL2 is any better ? ever tried servicing the pile of ****e ? Its just like any other modern car,all very flash - but built out of crap and not a thought from the designers for the people who will have to service or repair the rubbish..If you dont beleive me try looking at a pollen filter from a FL2, I did one this morning,first service from new,there is very poor access because of wiring looms in the way,the filter is so flimsy the original was totally distorted.I cant imagine the one I carefully refitted was going to do a 100% job either.i think its better being built in halewood, it may not turn out like the p38, l322, or anything else thats been throw together in solihull. you never know it may even work..:doh:

Sounds like you are coming to the same conclusion as me. A good customer and long time friend of mine got me to service his 200TDI Disco last week,its getting a bit rusty in paces - nothing that cant be sorted.While we were chatting he told me his partners 05 X Trail is on the Bay after blowing its engine on the motorway. It cost 21k to start with and needed lots of warranty jobs to keep it going - till it died at 68k......Wonder how long it will be before the new owners are squealing for help on the forum. I have noticed the increase in posts relating to the "Wonderful & improved" new Range Rover...2002 on.
One thing is for sure, I ain't interested at my time of life in anything beyond the P38. I've seen the later model and it seems to be just as much a moneyspinner-service wise as previous models. Land Rover's philosophy seems to be..sell the car and make the money back on Main Stealer repairs...it's the P38 repeating history.
To all you P38 owners looking for perfection in the later models..forget it, it will keep your wallet a bit more intact.
To you lucky bastids that have got a "Classic" Rangie...count your blessings and keep it going irrespective of the cost..it's gotta work out better than the P38 or the latest "Wag" motors in the long run....a rotten upper tailgate or sagging headlining is the least of your worries.
