Most of that sounds quite normal for an old Range Rover.

True, I would not have been happy if I had paid for the it though I have not seen the program so don't know what they were supposed to have done.

More importantly you get a advisory for fitting aftermarket air suspension?

I did say 'Most of' and I would love to see

power steering reservoir damp

on mine, manual steering box here not fun getting out of ruts or doing a gazillion point turn in a narrow lane.

I wouldn't say that mot station was very RR friendly, most of that could have been fixed on the spot without much fuss.. (ok depends on the whether the pipes / brackets just need a quick bend or they were nicked etc.. )

To be honest though, if your going to run a RR or any old classic really your pre mot work ought to be better.

It was probably years since the refurb/rebuilt was carried out and filmed.
