Sounds like you've taken some positive lessons from the experience, which is the best you can do given the circumstances. At least you came to no serious harm, and it sounds like the Landy hasn't suffered anything irreparable.
To caveat what I said, you might also start work and realise it's had so much done previously that it'll never be original
Yep also true, I know that it isn't going to go down in value which is the main thing.
This is the thing, I always begrudged spending money on cars I knew were depreciating at a rate of knots (and we've had a few in the family - 33% loss in 18 months is probably the record). My Rangie is going up in value, and the things I do to it are only adding value - stuff like a new fuel tank and all new lines, fitting a better interior, etc. It's a far happier feeling, even though I've not plan to sell it!
Exactly, I'm not planning to buy useless off road mods to make it look stupid. At the end of the day it's a 200tdi. There isn't a lot of them left so u don't want to be completely changing it into something stupid. And like you say it's best just to replace things that you know are going to add value to it rather than coolness if you like
Personally, I've seen the list of places with low emissions zones, and I couldn't be happier to have another reason to avoid them.
It's Life , what kind of man are you if you can't take a wee bit of banter
Some wouldn’t! But you saw the funny side in it and are still posting so no worries!
