Land Rover, you must be joking...

Here’s the thing. Weeks ago, I told you about my mother accidentally modifying the chassis of her Disco 4.

Well, the insurance company have said yeah we can afford to fix this. A local shop has got the job to do the work and got in touch with Land Rover Australia to order the parts.

The part in particular is an entire new chassis. Okay that’s something of a surprise in terms of a new chassis being an economic repair even though it is (only) a AU$9000 part.

The major wrinkle? Six to eight months from today before the part is likely to be made available from the UK and the Discovery repaired.

That is not awesome. Or economic. But it is Land Rover...
