I bought my second hand penis extension cum hairdryer from them, when something went wrong they tried to claim it wasn't covered but I wrote to the owner of the company and he sorted it out.

I don't know why you can't have Lada Niva's

price as one of the flash stuff ...

I beg to differ..

My friend had a 2001 RR, at least i think he had one, about 80% of the time he was scooting around in a Yaris that the garage gave him whilst fixing the RR...Especially when his suspension failed coming back from a golf outing in RAK..

Ill give you his number mate, let him give you an animated opinion of 2001 RR's..

You asked for advice, you ignored the advice, which begs the question why did you ask for advice, unless you were trying to show off cause you have bought a RR (kidding)

Good luck and god speed to you


Ill stick to my Japanese reliability thanks....
Yes but the 2008 prado is much more money.

I can't believe that the car was in the garage 80% of the time, how long did he have it for?

The air suspension is a well known problem with the Ranges and this one has had its completely replaced with springs.

The advice was taken onboard, I don't disagree with it. However I think this car is the closest exception to the rule that is possible - I believe the history of this car suggests that as much that could go wrong has gone wrong and there is less of a risk of catastrophic failure.

Anyway I tend to buy my cars with my heart and not my head, and I am in love with this one.
