could afford a new Jag on the cost of runnin a couple of landys daily + heavy towing etc,Jono28

depends? is it just a coating of underseal? if so yer can do it yer self fer £25
just jet wash the underside, check fer soundness , then slap it on with a spray gun or some paint brushes
just think .....£350 is half the price of a NEW galvanised chassis
well i brought my disco feb09 within weeks spent 750 on having all crank rebuilt after some muppet put a wood ruff key where it shouldnt of gone and it put timing out 4 and half times then to top it off all pulleys had new grooves where they shouldnt of been 750 later engine sweet as nut my fault for buying a landy when didnt know great deal about them but am learning now lol plus got new brake pads,discs,calipers on back at another 300 and copper pipes still got more to spend on rear cross member brackets rotten and got trouble with break fade so could be hell of alot more lol

I'm too tight too spend too much.
Everythings made from bed springs.
At least I have not got a beer can as an exhaust coupling though, I can see you smiling you know who you are.

More than it's worth on the series but it arrived in the family the same year I was born. Nearly as much on the 110 and £350 on the Discovery and I havn't had it 3 weeks yet
The wifes x trail 30,000 miles and only had oil and filters but it ain't got a soul.

Bought it originally for £7k .. 55k on the clock and only 1 small mark on it, in '03. Six years on it's got 123k on it mileage and god only knows how much cash, and so many marks and tree scratches they're uncountable ... I have every receipt for even the smallest widget and originally had a spreadsheet, including oils, diesel etc but only kept it up for a year! (Lazy) I still keep every receipt but it would take a long time to sort them out, I ain't an accountant, and ICBA ..
I don't really care about the actual money spent, but to me it's worthwhile (obviously or I wouldn't do it) I spent more in the first two years (we had a full service including cambelt and all fluids etc and the following year had a new clutch fitted, No time, different job!) than any time since 'cos I now do everything to it myself rather than pay garage/dealer fees ..
It's still sheaper than when I had a company car brand new every two years .. the tax saving covers that, though I wouldn't mind having the diesel payment card back .. )

I try not to think about how much I've spent on Land-Rovers, but I've spent far more on mountain bikes - it's possible to waste a lot of money buying shiney expensive lightweight bits that will snap after just a few months of abuse. The more money you spend the shorter the lifespan seems to be in my experience.
