2001 Tata Safari LX review from UK and Ireland
"Poor mans Range Rover!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust System needed replacing.
Transfer box in bearing needed replacing
Power steering needed adjustment.
General comments?
To buy a 2 year old 7 seat Turbo Diesel 4x4 for less than £7000,You cannot expect a range rover, the items that were at fault were due to lack of knowledge on the part of whoever serviced car, I do not think it is down to the car itself, or manufacture. My car now has a garage that knows the make, and does the proper service. (although it's a 120 mile trip to get it done)
Trim could have finishing touches put to it, and could do with bigger engine, maybe 2.3, or even 3.0.
Wouldn't change it now I have it, and would buy another without hesitation.
