yeah googled it last night, read a couple of reviews stating the same, appears they were made with following the same quality control principles as Bedford with Lucas playing a major role and parts sourced from outdated english vehicles .... hmmm still wondering about the low kays though and not really an overly expensive unit to buy, I guess when it eventually breaks down (which is guaranteed according to the reviews) I can turn it into a box trailer ..... probably not the RR weighs in at a hefty 2 ton !!!!!   ???

my only experience is that they are guzzlers, see if they will throw in a fuel card
make it reliable, or smash it with a big hammer

A Land Rover doesn't leak oil. It marks it's territory.
