Les Henson Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 According to them, John Craddock is the worlds No1 series 1 Land Rover expert. I don't think so That title surely belongs to James Taylor. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Craddocks think they know it all, and are extremely rude I found! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 But then so do Paddocks, problem is they seem to know even less than my dog (and I don't have one) about Land Rovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I like to use a great family based business up near mkt Drayton (hinstock) called John Richards surplus. Great service and I tend to get a discount these days too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les I watched that program with interest (at first)... but when they put that knackered turbo back into it, I was like urmmm really!? and when they drive it around it leaves a trail of blue smoke... very unimpressed with that build to be honest.

Bowie69 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I expect it still has all the grot sitting on top of the gearbox as well... Pretty cosmetic 'restoration' that only removed and reinstalled a turbo, and put near rear brakes on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Didn't they fit a lot of blue-box parts too? It'll be back for another rebuild before long then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 A friend of mine was having 'issues' with Craddocks over Series 1 parts.....I don't think he'd agree they were the experts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as that stupid wheeler dealers. Some of the bodges on that program need to be seen to be believed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete3000 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 On a related note, could the collective forum do a proper LR SOS feature? not one of those 60minute specials where LLB turns up and wallpapers the dog and the fridge. and puts pink carpet on the walls shows. A proper tools out, get someone back on the road type effort? or has it been done and dusted and agreed to be a bad idea? Just Thinking about the possibilities...... JeffR Nige.... at least it would bring £250 in from You've been Framed/Rudetube. Anyone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 There's always the "A 4x4 Is Born" series. I quite enjoy Car SOS, and their other vehicles seem largely well done. Of course, it's always a case of: if you know what it's about, you know it's rubbish, so who knows what they're telling you about the other stuff. Same with the news really, pretty much every time there's a news item about computers I cry a little inside, and you just know they apply about as much journalistic skill on the other topics. "For The Love of Cars" is pretty nice as well, but focuses less on the technical part. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb78 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Yep indeed, in fact I think just about every part was in a blue box when displayed the arrangement of parts proudly on the counter... No big surprise if they got them from that extra special specialist Craddocks though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pretty much sums it up really, that and the quote 'In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
