Dog walk took longer than planned, I was on Culver Down with the dog overlooking the Solent and got caught up watching what looked like a helicopter rescue of a surfer. May have just been an exercise. Anyways..... the all is not gold comment. You should know I brought this the end of December in lockdown so a trip from the Isle of Wight to York wasn’t really on. Vehicle was delivered to Portsmouth on Thursday. When it was taken off the trailer it sat tail heavy which I thought was a little odd. The outside was filthy and not how I’d expect a purchase to be presented. The interior was how it looked in the picture, v nice. Matey got off back to York, I jumped in the car with no plates and took it to a car park where I fitted some plates..... enough said. The EAS seamed ok. Got on the ferry and got out to hear the key in lock warning so couldn’t remote lock. Sunroof not set warning as well. Oh, one pixel out on the HVAC. All those issues were fixed an hour after I got home, even the pixel came back! I popped the bonnet to find (though it had been Serviced) the coolant and brake fluid levels low, see pic. Next day I went out to find it sat low. My 4.0l puts the EAS lights out in 3 seconds after being sat 24 hours. The 4.6 took 3 minutes 40 seconds.
In summary great condition inside and out let down by attention to detail ignoring the EAS leak or perished bags. Once I’ve sorted that it’ll be a minter! P38’s and Coffee? View attachment 231409

personally if that is what they delivered after the description, I would be asking for my money back.
They will jump a bit more. **** them, tell them to come and collect. :) You had that option use it to your advantage because that is not what we were expecting, nor you:(.

Cheers M. I’d figured in to the price the cost to do the oh ****s you always see with a new/old vehicle and the place that supplied it has offered to supply the parts required and I only contacted them this evening. So far good after sales service but until the fat lady sings........ I’ll get back here with the full SP when I’m satisfied.

Took it when i went to the local medical centre for my first Covid jab. I would normally walk over as its not that far but as its -10 today thought otherwise. Started on the button as usual. However, Not entirely happy as they told me its not recommended to have alcohol for 10 days and of course they said this within a 500 mile earshot of the long haired colonel and you could see the grin go from ear to ear and when I said recommended she takes it as law. Yes she does have to accompany me as my Russian isn't all that great when it comes to medical stuff. (bugger).

Odd that, no-one mentions alcohol over here. To maximise benefit of vaccine ideally you'd stop alcohol the week before and for 10 - 14 days afterwards. Upper body workout before helps. Also, men best to have in the morning although time of day doesn't seem to affect women.

Hmmm. Where's the coolant gone? Trade seller? Engine covered for 6 months.

Bags simple fix. Head gasket not so much.

Brake level. If pads aren't low I'd be checking where the rear pipes go behind the cradle for the rear. A cheap endoscope off the bay will poke up there.

I’m going to give it to my local LR specialist for once over. My thoughts exactly on the coolant level. I’ve topped up and will keep an eye on it and the temp gauge. It was the same level in the advertising pics, you’d think if they wanted to cover up it used coolant they’d have topped it up?
 
Does anyone know the part number for the little inserts that go in the holes for the rocker cover bolts on a 2.5? Buggered if I can find them in LRcat. Dropped two of them taking the rocker cover off and can't find the little bastards.

I don't know, but you need to make sure they aren't in the engine somewhere!
