English cars, in general, are quite 'quirky'. Hehehe. Jaguars too have their share of annoying problems. Not that they will leave you stranded by the roadside, pero the repair bill will really kill you.

Kaya hindi nila mapantayan ang satisfaction ratings ng Toyota at Honda.

Jappy gawa na rin kayo ng copy cat (kahit defender 90 lang). Tapos ang gawin nyong underchasis setup ay yung LC40 or 45 series.

sir johnq, ano ba ng talagang engine ng mga rover? Like the Land rover defender? Don't they make their own engines and underchasis?

sabi ni jappy dati malapit daw ang price ng DEFENDER real thing and a copycat. kaya malamang ang buyer bumili nalang ng ORIG.

Land Rover was part of the Rover group. The entire Rover group was bought by BMW sometime in the late 80s. The current (2001 to present) Range Rover was developed under BMW parentage (but launched under Ford ownership) that's why it has the BMW 540 V8 engine.

Eventually, BMW sold Land Rover (trucks) to Ford (mid 90s) but still retained Rover cars. Rover cars remains part of BMW while Land Rover is part of Ford's Premier Auto Group (PAG) which includes Aston Martin, Jaguar, Lincoln and Volvo. Ford attacked Jaguar and Aston Martin's reliability issues first by using common platforms, powerplants and electronics. Volvo's powerplants remain Volvo since they were/are technologically advanced right from the start. The Jag S-type platform shares with the Lincoln LS while $200K Aston Martin V12s uses the block structure of two V6 Taurus motors welded together to form a V12 but made in aluminum and controlled by the Ford EEC-V.

Older 70s to late 80s Land Rover 3.5/4.0-liter V8s were derived from the 1960s Oldsmoblie or Buick 215 cubic inch small-block V8. GM sold the tech and rights to make this engine to Land Rover (or the Rover Group). This engine is also found in Rover cars.

Land Rover even, under Ford ownership, does develop their own engines. A fine example of this is their TDI and TD-5 diesels.

Eventually, Land Rovers will get more Ford tech and some Ford trucks will receive some Land Rover suspension tech. Nothing wrong with that as long as it makes a better product for the consumer. The purists who refuse to accept this marriage of Ford and Land Rover can just screw themselves or enjoy screwing with Lucas, "prince of darkness."

yep. pwede po yun. kaso hindi pa namin napagaaralan ng maayos.
medyo magastos pa kung gawa kami ng replica nung defender 90 or 110.
