Woo I popped back to LZ! Great to see so many members local.
Once we get the Nationals out the way we can sort a meet up or laning trip if people are feeling like a day out. Before July then I'm sure myself and Muddyduck will be busy with the comp at Devils pit.

Thanks, Jai. That's not too far from here. If ever I can get away in time I'll try to drop in.

Can any of the Herts crew recommend a Landy man/ garage with all the gear and plenty of ideas to get Betsy's starting issues sorted before they get any worse?

Dingocroft aren't that far from you. They are certainly experienced with landrovers. If they don't do it, sure they could recommend, they are very helpful!
And where ya bin? Monkfish has recently returned, and he has bought a freelander without an engine!

Ooh I'll look them up. Really want to get her sorted, only driven her once since I've been here, as I'm too worried about getting stuck somewhere ( especially if Ian is abroad) so she's holed up on the camp ...st least being in the multi- storey , my water ingress issues are on hold lolDingocroft aren't that far from you.

I bet it ain't like Cornwall. WRT to cars, just this morning I was undertaken on a roundabout leading to the M40.

Poor Betsy, abandoned in a dark barracks.
She must miss the clean air and scratchy vegetation of her homeland. Weather must have been ok fer the gardening, not been too bad down here, lot of grass. Give Mr our best!
Sun in furrin parts muss have affected the poor boys brain, he has bought two of em, neither working. Apparently goin combine em and sell it for a fortune!
Sounds as likely as some of the storylines in Poldark!

Dunno what's wrong with kids these days .....still got the pics of him starting that lovely Series with the ol cranking handle ....tch , if he's gone down the freelander road then yes I think the sun has addled his brain.
Ian brought Betsy home last night for a run out ...the bugger nearly didn't start this morning - really thought I was gonna have to take him to work. I'm off mowing this morning, but when I get back , I need to get on the blower. Dingocraft don't have a workshop but they recommend Chilterns Motors so I'm gonna give em a call.

Might be worth having a word with Paul Ashcroft in Dunstable. He refurbs the gearboxes and so forth but I think he uses someone else for doing clutches and so forth. http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/contact-us.html
