Will keep checking the prices, if I were to find one in Englandshire somewhere, maybe one of you nice guys could pop along and check it out for me for a few beer tokens of course!

After spending a few hours over the past few days defending freelanders,or whatever I was doing.I have come to the conclusion that they are ****.
If you do buy one you will feel very stupid sometime when your under it trying to fix something else thats recently broken,you have gotten loads of advice over the past few weex.When my dad got back from holiday and saw that I'd bought a land rover,I should have listened to him.If you want something that will break your heart and spirit go ahead and buy a landy.

Wolfy, I have had cars in the past where everything you can think of has broken or gone wrong - the guys at the garage often remarking "never seen this happen before" etc, and yet I've had cars that have been good as gold. Whatever I buy, things will break on it. I'm practically financing the local garage all by myself anyway!

I have bin feeling a little disillusioned over the past few days,my rear right indicator and tail/brake light wunt work and the tailgate was stuck in the down position.I tried to fixum in the dark Monday night,but only got the chance to find cause and remedy today.
The contacts in the bulbs needed cleaning,and after trying everything else I found that the fuse had bin removed by .....the gremlins.

I'm back in the love side of my love hate relationship,with my heap.

None of my cars ever, and none were new ones, needed a new clutch.

My Disco (below) still has the original one. It must be the way its driven. Be sure you don't "ride" a clutch, use your brake on a hill (and not the clutch) and when changing gears listen to the engine and time your throttle/speed/gear change as best as you can. :cool2:

In other words, I wouldn't worry much about it.

But as Wolfman says, what (** ****) do I know.
