Thunb’s up L8 LLC Service, Thumb’s down Britpart Coolant Overflow Tank

trying to do the smart thing I tossed my original coolant bottle, and replaced it with a Britpart. It’s cracked after 6 months, could not handle winter I guess.

They credited me towards the Aluminum Tank which is a huge upgrade, but man, I really need some time for this truck to be low maintenance. She’s fraying my nerves!

**** does like to break in waves. If you ever feel like your Rover is unreliable, just remember, most other cars are awful too. At least these are fun to drive.

Yea, but it puts out 650 hp. I dont think the rest of the drivertrain would appreciate it.

Waves? Maybe, but the sets are pretty damn stacked. And as far as other cars being awful none compare to LR. And not just the $2k heaps that we are limping along. My nieghbor has a brand new RRS, guess what else he’s been driving for most of the past 6 months, a loner Jaguar F-PACE!

LR is at the bottom of the pile!
