Land Rover myths

Postby 22900013A » Thu Oct 03, 2013 8:58 am

What Land Rover myths have you heard over the years?

One I keep hearing but have never seen is that on older vehicles with smaller wheel nuts, the wheels will fall off with the nuts still attached to the studs.

Anyone know any others?

I thought the older they were the bigger the nuts were :?:

Might be controversial this, but some people think that land rovers are reliable :shock:
