Was with you right up to the point about "Land Rovers are generally reliable". As a person who has had more than one, and Toyota Land Crusiers for decades, I'd say I've had 10 Land Rover problems for every one Toyota one. They are unsurpassed off road, no doubt about it, and the simplicity of their construction is a joy. Build quality could and should be improved though. Still worth having, but it is an issue worth considering if ultimate reliability is the goal
