Soldered in key fob batterys have been used by many manufacturers including Land Rover, BMW, Mercedes, Mini, Honda, Volvo - the replacement cost is about £30. It's really not a big deal..  |

That spare key would be $1000 if it were a Land Rover. You could buy a spare car for that money. Have you not seen the price of cars today? Yep. There is a garage near to me I often walk past to poke my nose in. $1000 is about £800 which would buy you a cheap run about. Actually the other day they had a soft top Merc for sale at £1700. If you are young though that car would cost you the same for a year's insurance. There are rip-off bastards everywhere you look in corporate Britain, but this garage is a small independent one. |

If you cannot afford £30 to get the battery replaced then its doubtful you can afford to run a car. |

If you cannot afford £30 to get the battery replaced then its doubtful you can afford to run a car. Inevitably you spin the conversation around to me and my personal wealth which has absolutely nothing to do with Land Rover business practices, and the official price remains at $1000 at least when the filming was done. How can I be so sure? Well you see Youtube has strict policies on defaming people and corporations. If he were faking it the video would be reported and pulled. Corporations have people constantly searching the web for their trademarks and products to make sure. We live in the social media age and damage to reputation can be very expensive for an operation of that size. It's one reason I'm a little opposed ot Bitchute as I don't think it has the same standards and so one can become misinformed. Even the Daily Mail is careful not to defame people, although it must be said they are not so good at it. |

Pacifico has failed on the most basic of observations.
Land Rover Key Repair Service is not Land Rover's Key Repair Service or it would be landrover.co.uk or .com.

Warranties/insurance etc. If it's covered by warranty then there's no charge. I don't believe tyres are covered, though. There may be special circumstances (manufacture defect caught early) but general wear and tear isn't usually something that's covered by the car manufacturer. The tyre manufacturer will cover them, not the car manufacturer. |

The tyre manufacturer will cover them, not the car manufacturer. It's a bit of an extraneous point as well. People do buy the manufacturer's original part much more than you might reasonably imagine. Perhaps the car is not owned by you but you pay for it via your job, as per the company car model of business. Companies often have a set of policies, for example when they buy cars they will buy from a registered dealer and the dealer will only be registered if they replace all parts with the originals. What I'm saying here is part of the art known as stuffing people. You can reason that it does work simply by the price. The price charged is only what the market can bear, but this particular market is a criminal market in the sense of the rules of the free market. We may not have rules to arrest them, but they are just as bad as a bank robber. Anyone who makes more money than the customer is willing to pay is a conman(or woman) . The methods are convoluted,but the results plain to see. It's just how you look at the problem. We have seen similar shark practices with Apple phones if you care to look. |

I moved to Rednal next to Longbridge in 1979, Metros were coming out day and night on multi load lorries and long trains, they were making big bucks. Thet spent the money on a revolutionary engine that didnt work, the management would wind up the workforce who needed no excuse to go on strike. The management wanted to go fishing.
The workforce didnt want to know, incredible really, a job pays for houses, cars holidays etc. It was sold for a tenner, over priced and was asset stripped. There was red ken in the early 70s, this is what socialism does.

There was red ken in the early 70s, this is what socialism does. There are socialist and then there are socialists. The word badly translates from English to Chinese.
Red Ken's brand is certainly typical of the Great British socialist. Over in China it is as opposite as things could be and still operates under a red flag. They have huge numbers of independent firms making cars and parts to cars. Over there new brands appear all the time and can become big players in a few short years. Often they are driven by very clever science and engineering to make their mark. Ironically what their market looks like now is what Britain's car market was circa 1920s. We had many manufacturers of cars which competed against each other on new innovation. This was until some bright spark decided things would be better if we just made one giant company out of the lot. That firm was British Leyland. There are no prizes on offer for thinking what will happen next. If you are one of the unlucky ones who have been shaken down a grand for a key, you will be shopping around for those that don't do this shit. In the last few years Land Rover's sales have gone south. See what happens when they ban the petrol engines.
