Crap Build Quality
I am currently in Eastern Turkey 4000km into a journey from Dubai to Spain.
My LRDefender Puma is 12 mths old a so far this trip the:
a)Passenger door handle has come off.
b)The rrear door lock is jammed and operates on manual key only
c)In temperatures of -23C night and -6C day it will not start before 11am in direct sunlight(don't blame it for this one to much!).
d)Gaps in door panels on passengers side have my navvo(wife)constantly sitting in a draft.
I love LRs and have owned Disco's and driven Defenders for years. When I bought this 'bells and whistles'one in Dubai I thought the build quality may have improved but if anything it's worse.
On the plus side we have now been on some icy tracks in the mountains that I would only have ttrusted in a Def.
On a lighter note I am getting 8.4 k er l at 2400m altitude and approx 9.5 k per l below 1300m so this is good.
I am very sad that LR cannot improve the build quality on this otherwise superb machine. I can only put this down to ongoing lack of respect for their customers.
