Well so Ford have not had an adverse effect on Land Rovers reputation
for build quality and reliability then.
Actually I quite like the look of the thing (Flame suit at the ready). I
was sent a brochure and CD from the local dealer and there are some
pretty impressive gismos. I see Solihull have finally accepted that
there is a place for an axle diff-lock, (electronically operated) And
especially for the Sainsbury's run there's a system for showing in which
direction your front wheels are pointing. The Satnav will navigate from
A to B even without tracks or roads. All in all pretty cool if you want
to use it in the Australian outback, the Sahara desert or the American
prairies, but a bit of an overkill for UK green laning me thinks.
