Well behaved hippo

With apologies to all those who have serious problems with their hippos, I would like to bang the drum a bit for the good hippos out there.
Just had mine serviced, new timing belt fitted, new MOT and the whole lot cost me 200 quid. This is the only money I have laid out on repairs or mantainence since last years service and MOT. Got it booked in next week to re-gass the aircon and it will be good as new. ( It's a 51 plate 1.8 petrol). Just thought some of the peeps looking at the forum might want to read a bit of good news about the much maligned Freelander.

Mines a td4 es auto station wagon 2001, 130,000 miles on the clock its cost me a gearbox last year, but apart from that just service parts and trivials...So maybe they aint all bad...

142k and climbing, 2.0 Xedi, needs fuel pipes, sunroof duff, also drivers window, but nowt special

i cud cry

as yuve all had such sterling service - wanna contribute to mine? All contributions readily (and surprisingly) accepted.
