I bought mine from a local equestrian place so I’ll just deal with them if i have any warranty claims. Two year warranty

You don’t wanna be buying neoprene lined wellies in a hot climate it’s not breathable. I live in the UK so this is winter wear for us.

Be fine I always talk about how reliable she’s been for me. Its just the modern stuff whats rubbish when everything went computerised. The late 1990s period just before the TD5 engine is very good imo. The 200 and 300 are Land Rovers best engines.

12,000 miles I’ve done in it since last August 2021. It’s my daily driver, my off roader and also my show car.
It just works and works,
Meanwhile my dads 2019 VW Tiguan has had a lot of problems with not starting in cold, issues with the key fob and issues with the alarm.
The 300tdi is so basic, there’s no ECU or anything to worry about and has a manual fuel pump.
Worst car I’ve ever owned is a Nissan Navara D40 model, so many issues we had with that heap. Injectors, electrical, turbo, leaking roof, issues with the 4x4 system use to make a grinding noise. Then the chassis cracking issues were the final staw.

My previous pair are hunters, I’ve stopped wearing them as they are quite rare tbh.
Still in good condition, but from around 2012/2013 they are the navy blue OUBC ones from the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Races. I just don’t wanna trash them up as they are hard to find nowadays

Lol, Funny enough its 24 years old and in my ownership I’ve never had a breakdown with it. Its been really well looked after though.
Worst thing I ever had was fuse number 20 blew and killed the immobiliser, new fuse and it started working. The 300tdi engine is just uber reliable.

They haven’t been made in France since 1949 lol
They have been made in Casablanca for about 73 plus years now.
The name Le Chameau is French for 'the camel', a nod to the new factory location

Fairly rural but no farm work. Wellies are an essential for us in winter time in the UK just given how wet it is. I do a lot of off road stuff with my classic Land Rover so be nice when I’m out and about in that

Ill be using them mainly for walking about when out and about off-roading in my classic land rover lol. Wanted a decent robust pair of wellies for a spot of green laning. Lot of water and mud at some of the locations in the North York moors for example.

Not exactly an ad. They’ve not paid me for it or anything. I just enjoy hobbyist photography and its been wellies I’ve wanted for quite a while to replace my older pair pf Hunters which i got in 2013.
