LRA isn't what it used to be. Land Rover ran their recovery service through one of the big recovery firms and dealt with Enterprise for the loaners then 3-4 years ago they gave the contract to the AA (they use LR branded vehicles not AA vehicles) and the service has become a farce, truly awful. I had cause to use the original LRA twice, once when my Freelander1 sulked after driving over Salisbury Plain in the mud and once when I had the auxy drive belt part on a Disco2 I was taking back to the dealers to take delivery of the brand new Freelander1 above! LRA were with me within 20 minutes and had the problem fixed or a resolution to the problem. I had to call the "new" LRA out to my TDv8 RRS when I shattered a wheel and burst two tyres after swerving into the verge to avoid a lunatic motor cyclist. That occassion they took 2 hours and then the AA guy had no idea what the problem was! In the name of saving a few pounds LR abandoned an excellent service for one that is very shoddy by comparison and who's usual answer to your problem is to lift the car onto a flatbed truck and drive it miles from where you live or want to be and give you some nasty Hyundai or vauxhall Corsa in compensation.

Never liked the AA, used to be in it but every year the price would go up by exactly £11. They always used the slogan 'the fourth emergency service' but with current response times it is anything but emergency.
