And a dewalt drill i thought makita was standard issue for sensible people?

Reconnected the battery, switched on, switched off, idled for 10 minutes and set off for a little bit

That throttle feels so good now

Sorry Andy, didn’t mean anything untoward. The some remnant of my home ahem ’gym’ days when I did do that kind of thing. Now used as a weight to stop the ramps moving. The other ramp has a 120A 12V battery as a weight.

Also handy for the OWUT too!

An old brake disc from a Freelander 1 is 5 kg. Perfect with a wire loop through the hole !!

That's great spannering! I shall remember that!

Today I got fed up of my land rover and kick the drivers door because it ****ed me off.

Now the window won't go down...

lesson learned next time kick it harder so the frame falls out and I can scrap it

I Jest, I did blow it up though got quite a lot of smoke coming from the intake... Oopsie there goes another 1.8 petrol head gasket... ugh...

OWUT? I’m sure it’s obvious when you know…

Picture a dog cocking it’s leg…

… to test a VCU

Aah. Yes that.

Cheated on it a little bit.. someone's been showing off an FL2 to me that they're getting rid of in October
And it's beyond tempting

Your FL1 will now seek revenge and spring a leak/pop a tyre/other suitable issue

… that said, I just got back from McDonalds. There was a nice tricked-out 2 in there on a 61 plate.
Lifted with BFG tyres, nice dark grey. Few stickers and a checker plate on the bonnet. Looked quite good actually… just off-roadie enough without being silly.
I admit, I was a little jealous.

… but then my burgers came and I buggered off home with the dog.

Don't do it. Where's the fun in a more reliable (alledgedly), more comfortable, quieter, more efficient, better equiped vehicle? Pah!

I thought there'd be a little more excitement over the idea of that Freelander becoming available

And.. well, look at it!

Looks nice… I’d be tempted
I’m guessing you know it’s history too

It's been treated very nicely at least by this owner, always kept tip top and good miles for the age (2011)

Over? No, pretty sure it hasn't

So, sounds like you’ll be having a 1 and 2 sometime soon?!!
