It doesn't speak too good for Land Rover. However, my Land Rover has proved to
be much like my MGs. It has had a few problems but they were all easily fixed
on my own. And the Land Rover leaks oil just like my MGs (not much but enough
to mark its spot).
Problems and reliability are all relative. Many of these newer cars are
nightmares to work on and just about any problem with them is going to lead to
a stay at the dealer or a mechanic's garage.

several days we had to live on nothing but food and water. W. C Fields
