Defender laugh what is written in fun is so bloody true
Thought you might like a laugh at Christmas trouble is what is written in fun is so true

‘Thanks to Repair my Land Rover’

Here are some examples read the full book at
http://www.repairmylandrover.co.uk/feature...ers-manual


Specification details set out in this Handbook will vary from what Landrover think is the spec for your vehicle. Remember Landrovers are hand built individual, vehicles and as such tend to contain a wide selection of parts that magically appeared in the parts bin next to the guy making it. Moreover, with second hand vehicles, some parts are not necessarily from any known Landrover product. Therefore, when ordering spare parts take a rough guess, you might be lucky and get it right first time. I doubt it though.

Depending on the age of the vehicle, you will inevitably meet the phrase “Superseded by….” when talking to parts dealers. Now this is a catchall phrase. Main dealers use it a lot, ‘cos it means you get to buy the sprocket seal that was fitted to the later models. And as such it is normally 5 times as expensive as the original bit that you actually wanted, which is, incidentally probably still available, all be it under a different part number of course. And it won’t fit, but as you have opened the packet you can’t have a refund

A note about Landrover horns. It may not be possible to hear the horn sounding whilst driving your vehicle as we fitted the quietist one we could find, that is because Landrover Plc do not wish to contribute to sound pollution. This horn works by giving a small, none damaging, electric shock to an ant that lives in metal box on the front grill, this causes the said critter to fart through a small trumpet, we think. Sh*t if you can’t hear a Landrover heading towards in the first place you are as deaf as a post so sounding the horn is a useless exercise anyway… The sound deadening we omitted to fit to your vehicle also helps prevent you hearing the horn above the cacophony of mechanical noise that emanate from your vehicle during normal use.#
