Hi all, long time no see! But I have decided to take the plunge and buy another JLR product.... I know, crazy fool, but I couldn't help myself... I missed the level of refinement that my L322 had, especially the heated screen and steering wheel...

So I brought a Jaguar F-Pace

And yes I know I'm on the Range Rover site, only Martin doesn't do Jag and I rather trust level of advice and honesty on this site

And for those of you wondering if a Jag can compare to a Range Rover, I will just say YES and offer this little nugget to stop you worrying... Within 6 days of ownership, my 75k Jag had stretched it's timing chain so much as to render the car next to useless, and had to go to my local JLR indy for surgery... Only I had to wait for 5 weeks to be seen Teach me to buy a car 2 weeks before Christmas

Well I've had it back for about 4 weeks and it has been fairly enjoyable, although the dipstick wasn't seated properly and it spat most on the engines contents over Mothers' block paved drive Nothing to see

So the reason for being here, has anyone used or had trouble with MDL auto parts? I only ask as they seam to be very very keen on their pricing... almost too good to be true.

And before I go I will leave you with a little revelation... I have discovered the ultimate JLR accessory...

A Citroen C3 Picasso (other makes are available) very cheep to buy, cheep to insure, and £35 a year road tax... oh and it does 60+ mpg! I have found that it takes all the worry of owning a JLR product away and just leaves you with a smile while you woft down the road, waiting for the next hissy fit  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...

I don't have an answer to your question but just wanted to thank you for giving me a little chuckle whilst reading it, so relatable.  _______________________________________________

MDL prices for LR parts seem to vary from very cheap to very expensive

as a side note......

When my FF was recently off the road, I borrowed my daughters 2003 Peugeot, it was soooo cheap to run , but there is a downside, having to spend money on a large hat, large sunglasses and a false moustache in case any of my mates saw me driving it.

My neighbours who are both well into their 80's always have a little second car as a runabout, the latest acquisition is a bright red 2012 boy racer Corsa with a huge loud back box etc, etc they are hilarious The lady of the house freely admits to growing old disgracefully.

Well thanks for the replies, I now know as much as when I started

Pete, all is good with me... you didn't stay away for very long... I thought you were stronger willed than that... So I assume that the Jeep was a bit more disappointing than initially hoped!
As for the Jag.. I just wanted, no yearned for that certain level of sophistication and comfort that a fattie delivers... But I couldn't justify the Tax and Insurance implications that come with a ffrr! The Jag did everything except air ride for 5 insurance groups less and being a 2.0 4 pot is reasonable on the juice.

As for driving in disguise, I was lucky, as I was working night shifts... I left in darkness and returned before anyone had got up Anyway sporting a long grey beard and working for the Royal Mail, 99% of toddlers think I'm Santa  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

I hope it's not a C3 Picasso with a PureTech engine or you'll be praising JLR for their reliability before long! 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

How did I end up here
I was only asking about a Land Rover (and other related makes) parts supplier
I'm beginning to feel like you don't love me anymore

And this comes about because I want to get a Gap iid tool for my kitty, which according to the very nice man from Gap, also know as Patrick, a std iid G3 will communicate with kitty So it's not an 'Other Car', it's a heavily modified Range Rover  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...
