Disco Reliablility

Everybody says how unreliable Land Rovers are, well we took off for ******* MI after work Saturday, 150 miles into our 182 mile trip the tach goes flat and the battery light comes on.
So I turn off the a/c and the stereo, and call my local AutoZone to see if they can give me the number or look up the store in ******* and see if they maybe by chance have a alternator for the truck.
He was no help, none at all.
2nd AutoZone alternator to go bad in 14 months.
So I called information and got the number for the store in *******, explained to him that we were on vacation and what we needed, they couldnt have one until Tues so he called Advanced Auto, they can have one by morning.
We finish our drive, my moms husband is not a mechanic by any means, he is a carpenter.
Using a 1/4" drive socket set and a crecent wrench I was able ro replace the alternator the next morning.
Then we hit the trails, 62 miles of trail time between Sunday and Monday.
So in 2.5 years and 30,000 miles this is the first time that our Land Rover has given us any trouble on the road.
So I guess they are right, they are very unreliable.

WTF were you doing in *******...haha. Head west...much better, but then again I'm a bit biased.

Not Buckly or Kingsly but maybe South Garfield, just far enough out to say so but still close enough to town so that Hungrey Howies will still deliver.
Maybe M-72 and 4 mile...or the Soaring Eagle parking lot?
