Err..Well today didn't go as well as I had planned. Started doing stuff ok. Trolley jack working ok then it decided it won't go up. The little poking thing the lever moves up/down came oft the lever again. Put that back and now it won't pump up. Similar has happened before on several occasions so I've given up with it. I also have a backup baby trolley jack which doesn't have the height so I struggled to get ma hippo oft me axle stand. So I bought a new one. Same as the one which failed. Funnily enough this is the 3rd of 4th one of these now. CTJ3000QL

I know. :doh: Problem is I think it doesn't like the handle being lifted up to max height, or anywhere near it. Hence the failure. I don't work under it with a jack only. Always an axle stand or hippo ramp. But don't want the situation like today when it let be down. I ran out of light so couldn't film something. If I were fixing it then I use torch light when it gets dark.Err..
Bought one of those on Sunday £53.99
Yup.. cuda vids are the best on there, I've seen them all.. my favourites are Tommy driving the 2-door through the water until just the roof is showing and it STILL runs.. and Tommy's mate who does the Steven Hawkin impression.. love those guys it reminds me of the stupid stuff I used to do.. brilliant..
Oh I know what I was going to tell you.. you remember I was poised to trade the FL1 in for a FL2..? Well it seems I have become emotionally attached to my FL1! The more I think about trading it the more I realise there's little point.. it's size is perfect for a daily runabout (I have a D1 for laning etc), it's really comfy, reliable, and for a Landrover very economical. I'm now thinking I'll just do a few odd jobs on it, fit a new set of Scorpions, clean it properly, and keep it..!
Sounds like yer happy with the Freelander. It's not just a car. It's part of the family. ound:Oh I know what I was going to tell you.. you remember I was poised to trade the FL1 in for a FL2..?
