that brakes are very expensive on the LandRover. Also, trade in value is
very low and bottom line a piece of junk. I have been wanting to get one
but now I'm not sure. Anyone have any positive things to say about this
truck?

What is a "LandRover" ?

Do you mean a Range Rover, a Discovery 1 , II or III, a Defender ? A
series III, II or I, or a 101 ?

The brakes on my 101 are around 40 quid a set. That sounds cheap to me.
Trade in on my 101 is more than I paid for it. ;-)

A lot more nice things than I've got to say about you anyway - go
quietly back from whence you arrived and stay there thank-you.

Yup, it's all true.

Now go away and buy a Shogun, a Landrover wouldn't want you.

Buy one that already has brakes........duh!

Also, trade in value is very low

Get one that has been traded in.......

and bottom line a piece of junk. I have been wanting to get one

Insulting Land Rover on a forum of Land Rover fans? Taken your meds? Seems
to me you should be selling pork in Palestine.

well, the Robin already drives the rear wheels, so really, all it needs is a
front wheel drive from somewhere. Unfortunately, you'd have a job doing it
within the weight limit, so it'd not get cheap tax.

Oh right, I thought it had a small engine up front that drove the
front wheel, did that used to be the case or has it always been
rear-wheel-drive?

I saw one made up with Ferrari decals once, mildly amusing..
