I'm with phuckingduck on this one.
My brother told me a story of when he first arrived at his Bradley unit and they were prepping to go to Iraq. He was standing with another officer as the Brads rolled past and one of the dropped a large metal retaining ring on the frozen ground.
"Is that important?" asked my brother of the other officer. At that moment the next Bradly ran over the part, crushing it into the shape of a tank track.
"I hope not" answered the other officer with a shrug, "One thing you need to learn is that Bradleys shit parts."
Stuff breaks. You can't always see something that is about to fail and you can't always prevent it. Shit happens, you try to plan for it by building robust systems that can withstand a malfunction, you try to head off problems with maintenance and checks, but stuff will still break. For hell's sake, this is a car forum, we, of all people should understand that (especially members who own certain British SUVs).
