Not really a post of much importance, more of a rant of my own stupidity!
I bought my first land rover when I was 13, was a series 3 a bit battered but had fun driving round the fields, the obsession carried on from there and I have had quite a few since then. But I always kept the series cause it was special if ya know what I mean. Now being 17 and having just past my test and saved the many millions of pounds required to insure even a series I took it for it's MOT, checked all the normal places for rot, and sorted all the little bits that needed doing.
It failed... Rot on both the tops of the chassie under the rear tub where the cross braces are, the one place I stupidly didn't look at properly, and it's quite bad, running in 4x2 finger patches.
Luckily I have some good friends who are willing to help me fix it, that's kinda why land rovers are set apart from other car people!
So hopefully the old girl will be on the road in a few weeks and will be doing the greenlanes across Derbyshire!
