Insider —

We have not heard your extremely valued insights on this forum for quite some time.

why hast thou forsaken us? what did we do wrong??

was it because we all complain of issues on this forum, and it hurts you to read?

we could certainly all stand to praise the Defender and be more positive.

I will start: my V8 2023 is a marvelous machine with more soul and sheer testosterone than any other vehicle I have ever owned. Thank you to Land Rover for engineering it. I cringe when I see a G Wagon. They don’t know what they are missing!

if you are still there, silently reading, give us a sign…

amen.

There was…I and others have chatted with him/her

 

Moved to off topic since this seems more like a personal connection request.

 

You apparently are not aware of past posts by this person, ‘Insider’. He has provided valuable information in the past and has not been heard from recently, so the original request is not a ‘personal connection request’ as you incorrectly assumed. There are many on this forum who have benefited from his “inside” knowledge and the OP is merely reaching out to see if he is still viewing the forum and can offer more of his insight and resources. If you are not familiar with his previous posts it would be most appreciated if you didn’t push to move someone’s post off topic at your behest. You may choose not to read his posts, but many others here certainly would like him to surface again with his assistance. Thanks so much for your understanding.

 

Observing that you joined in Jan 2023, you may have missed his valuable posts in the past. But I can assure you that he has posted here many times in the past, as others have vouched.

 

Okay

Unless he's actually closed his account his posts should still be accessible with a search for the username.

lf this information is not accessible then nobody who joined after he left is going to know anything about him or his valuable contributions to this forum.

 

Probably pretty obvious why The Insider isn't posting here any more. Some JLR employees who used to post on some of the Facebook groups don't post there any more either. One used to make some helpful videos that got taken down. It's a shame. Smarter and more customer-focused companies than JLR would realize that open customer engagement in forums is to everyone's benefit,

Anyone who has had the misfortune of calling JLR Customer Relations team here in the US knows what a **** poor job they do.

Love JLR vehicles. Don't love the way they act or how they treat customers.
