Exactly! The limey's borrowed the great japanese engineering and ****ed it
up. Explain how Honda's are reliable. except the Sterlings could not even
get off the dealers lot without breaking down.
Were is Sterling? Duh, they cannot even copy good engineering without
ruining it, and ****ing it up. Duh! Answer the question hero!

How, can they actually have the enginnering plans to build a Honda, and
cannot do it!!!! Oh, nationalistic pride, of doing it the British way. Oh,
Brilliant old chap, we have Honda's engineering plans, but let's not do it
that way, and let's just keep doing it our way. Oh, the headlights fall out?
Oh, that may be why Honda did that. Lets just tape them in, were British and
so damn good.

TVR makes kit cars!

Now! owned by americans and engineered by americans, oh, and now a quality
vehicle.
The Question was what quality did they have when owned and made by British.
Am I typing to fast for you.
But what about when it was owned by the limey's and built by them, Oh yah,
Don't answer that question again. It was ****ty.
Oh, But not so bad, as when the Jaguar electronics fried, and engines bit
it, you could just put in a Chevy conversion, so it would be reliable.

Exactly, and the quality has improved drastically since the limey's do not
engineer or own the companies. Hell the Jag is a Ford Taurus, and the
quality improved, just from re-badging a ford sedan from the U.S. Go figure

Oh, yah!!!!

Oh, it's raining, better not drive your authentic British engineered and
built MG, It will short out and die!
Oh, and the great Triumph sports cars. All ready rusted, when they came out
of the factory. Rust bubbles, under the paint. Brilliant Watson.
Just like a Yugo, or Skoda.

Chrysler 300C, Any Pickup Truck, Jeep Grand Cherokee, made in US! not in
Graz. Dodge Durango, Chevy Yukon, Hell, any Us made vehicle has better
quality then BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. Even the Mercededes Service Rep I
worked with admitted the Jeep had better quality then Mercedes.

Not in decades. Very bespoke now. They don't even buy in many
components these days.

They have however been Russian owned for a couple of months.

Isn't Chrysler owned by the Germans these days and their new quality models
based on Mercedes bits, such as the 300c, the crossfire etc...

Rubbish. We just don't go in for pickup trucks - no market demand, and the
Japanese ones are better - Toyota make the best.

4x4s / SUVs? How come that world wide LandRover (who have been the best long
before Ford's ownership) are the favourite? The Defender is king of the off
road, RangeRover the king of the luxury off-roader, Freelander is the
"lifestyle" machine for off-road use. In fact the US buys a lot of them.

Oh sorry, seppos don't drive off road, they just like their gas-guzzling
unsafe rollover car crushing SUVs to be big don't they.

As for quality - ever wonder why you guys have such busy service
departments? The cars are built poorly from cheap materials - if it wasn't
for the dealers gluing them together they'd never last.

An alternative way to look at it is that we have a population of 60 million
- or more than the two most populous states (California and Texas) added
together, with enough left over to cover roughly the 10 least populous.

Umm, no. They're neither 'merkin ****e nor our own ****e.

Vauxhall/Opels are designed and built by Krauts. The last British designed
Vauxhall was the HC Viva, launched in 1970.

How about the Merc ML? Built by 'merkins, and bottom of the quality surveys
over here.

I think you missed his point.

I wonder exactly what they do in the rather large Engineering Centre at
Whitley, then?

> oh, and now a quality vehicle.

Umm, no. (With the exception of the XJ) Jags are now rebadged Fords - in
the case of the X-type, a German Ford, the Mondeo.

We just can't understand your accent, so you'll have to be subtitled or
remade - but without the humo(u)r...

I tried this part number at couple of main dealers(Clive Sutton in
Kinsbury and Balham in London) and they said its not for Neon(1996)...
and said that Chrysler have stopped maintaining the old remote and for
those who wanted replacement should buy the whole unit!
And he also said that if you can get one from somewhere they could
re-program it for free as its a 1996 model.

Someone mentioned key cutters Timpsons - can they do car remote as
well?

help....

Thanks,
Sandiyan.
