Hi from Runcorn

I'm still fairly new to the Land Rover world, though I'm on the committee of my local Land Rover club. Originally from the USA, I've lived in England for over 30 years and here in the North West more than five years. I'm running a Range Rover L322 4.2 SC, but unusually, I bought it mainly for use off the paved roads. I'm out on the green lanes almost every month, missing outings only when the Range Rover lets me down. It has actually been remarkably reliable. My main problems have been with the cooling system, a catastrophic water pump failure out on the lanes of Staffordshire and radiators clogged with muck and mud after a friend got it stuck in a mud hole.
Having nifty air suspension and vast amounts of torque can be useful, but off-road accessories are slightly harder to find than hen's teeth.

Hi and welcome!

Welcome to landyzone regular users mud snow rain odd sunlight.

Hello and welcome

Hey! Just spotted Runcorn on the forum titles and thought I'd jump in and say hi as fairly local too, on Wirral, just picked up a Freelander 2 last night and loving it so far. Thinking of taking it to get a proper look over at an LR specialist for a quick check over, don't suppose you can recommend anywhere @RuncornYank ?

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Marsh Motors in Neston don't advertise as LR specialists, but the owner and one of the other techs are both active members of the Cheshire Land Rover Club and know the make well.
