well it had been sat since my mrs crashed it about a month ago untouched.

Got in it, started straight up, battery was fine, no faults showing. Drove it down the lane and ....

aaahhhh bliss, sooooo comfy and quiet with a respectable turn of speed too.

Top cars!

Glad your falling back in love with it again was touch and go when the Mrs crashed it! We all thought it was getting a match

Comfy compared to a tractor or Defender perhaps - don't get me wrong I love my p38 - but after usually driving Jags and big Citroëns it feels like a donkey cart with leather seats. I think of it as a comfy Defender - which is pretty much where I'd place it.

The only bit of Cheshire you want is Nantwich, that's where Charles is, he's bound to have all the bit's you need.
