Acquired one of Gaydons Best.

A lady was turning her Defender near our drive and it just stopped showing a low battery warning. Assistance via jump leads did not work so she’s now awaiting RAC who forecast mid afternoon. She’s planning on getting rid of it as it’s been so troublesome despite being a nice car to drive. What you cannot see in the photo is the next door neighbours Juke which again awaited a long time for RAC attendance and it could not be fixed. My daughter and granddaughter also had long waits for RAC attendance, the latter whilst in darkest west wales countryside.

None of JLR's products ever make my long list for a car replacement, let alone the short list - despite getting the Family discount - as the former site manager at Gaydon my brother-in-law has remained faithful but then he gets a new car every 6 months on the retiree scheme.

Bought a brand new Discovery and had a new gearbox after 6 days as kept jumping out of gear. Then the new gearbox only lasted 32000 miles before self destructing. Hence another new gearbox and we had to pay for that one as a couple of months out of warranty. Worst new motor we ever bought.
