Yeah, you can see why cars that have had a smash are never quite the same again, see how the rear doors and rear wing flex, and the ripples in the rear part of the roof and even the tailgate in the overhead shot...

Yessir I agree. Perfect carfax is very underrated.

I also agree the l405 is very impressive. OffRoadRover.com An American Western Range Rover Off Road Blog

Glad to see that VW have got their priorities right... look after the cargo at all costs Thankfully they don't make them anymore I wonder how a 2010 ffrr would fare? and if it would be as good as the earlier L322? Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Maybe the upgraded brakes and suspension might keep you out of an accident, but when the hits the fan, it's the same structure in all the L322s, isn't it.

Not so sure about that one Bud... I was over at another owners last year, fitting reversing LED's and we did a tap test on the tailgates of our cars... Mine a 2003 Thud! His a 2011 Ting! Ting!,Ting! made of bloody Coke cans

It has been well reported that the older cars are better at resisting Tin Worm.. is that cos there's more tin to start with Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Interesting. I did not know that. Is there more than one part number for the tailgate based on model year?

From what I can make out there is no difference in part numbers.... But from what I can hear there is a big difference

I just get the feeling that there were savings made in production costs in later models Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

I doubt they have changed the thickness of metal, but I bet the earlier one had far more rustproofing and seam sealer inside the tailgate, thus damping the noise, they went overboard with the first series of 322 as BMW were in charge during design and planning and then tend to protect their cars well, when Ford took over, everything was pared back to the bone and as long as most bits got to the end of the rust warranty that's all they cared about...

Now Tata own it, well, they make the metal so it's in their interest to make them rot quick....

Or am I being too cynical....!!??? Pete

They have probably been playing with the emissions in the other tests, after the first was a flop You can never actually know what they have done to the car... James May dropped a Lada from a helicopter and it flat packed it's self on impact.... but on reflection it must have had the drive train removed, otherwise the the toy helicopter that they used wouldn't have picked it up.....

I'm now beginning to wonder if it's not a test for a new van by Ikea but they have got the film running the wrong way Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!
