You SPEAK 4 yu sen !

oh right that's whats its for , always wondered. live and learn I suppose

The real question is.

Has anyone ever used it????????

Cheers

Well now I know whats its for I still probably wont use it lol.

Is it surprising that that questions crops up regularly? Perhaps it's because it doesn't look up to the job?

Yeah well that's what I thought, and that's why I didn't see it as a choc. It looks like it wouldn't stop a wheel barrow

You know if they were any good, then no Landy would ever be sold with one. As it would get purloined to use in other vehicles. I think it is almost guaranteed that if it was std equipment then you will still find it fitted in its original space and it will be untouched.

Cheers

Did these come as standard then? Or could be purchased separately?

I find the hand brake works well until the cable snaps and it rolls into a fence... (always park in gear)

Well, I agree cos mine's in the garage. If it was indispensable it would be under the seat.

The other regular one is 'have I got a bolt missing from my gearbox' the first time they spot the wading plug hole!

Finally someone has found a good use for the dang thing.....

I use a brick as a chock and a door stop....the strange thing is the chock is still in place in the car...........
