No mate, been working and stuff today and I wouldn't dare look after seeing yours. Fall out ? I didn't notice you were in and that's not the first time you have heard that

How very dare you use that W word, and no it's not the first time I've heard that, mind you she had a f*nny like a bill posters bucket. She said "who do you think your going to satisfy with that", my reply was "ME"!!!!.

Romance is not dead !! Well that's another thread debauched
MOST is the electronics network that ford uses i.e. the updated models that came out in mid 04 or so before the change to Jag engines in 06.
I will get a service done soon and I'll get them to do a check who knows maybe we will get lucky.

I would be really interested to see what they say, one other thing i thought of was engine mounts as strangely one of my middle exhaust hangers has always been snapped and the engine had a fiar bit of movement in it when we removed the transmission but i tried a camera on the mounts while making it clunk and it didn't seem to be unusual.
Evening Ant, sold the pick up ?
Tis now on ebay and Autotrader...had a couple of emails...but no firm interest as yet!
One geezer wants to take it to America and do a 2500mile trip once he gets there so asked if it was mechanically sound....
My reply....
Hi,
Many thanks for your enquiry.
She runs very well and currently is running smoothly.
But, she is 28 years old fitted with a 24 year old 200Tdi engine. Whilst I replaced the cambelt, followers, idler and crank sprocket last year reset the tappet clearances and did the fluids and filters.....she is still a 24 year old Land Rover!!
Fantastic cars and if you can spanner your own repairs they will give you much joy.
As for a 2500 mile trip, she would no doubt make it but I can wield a spanner with confidence so a trip of such distance, while daunting, I would relish as half the fun of old Land Rover ownership is fixing things on the fly!
Not sure what parts supplies are like in the US for old Land Rovers so be mindful she is old, a mix of Disco engine and PAS, TD5 rear axle, and 28 years worth of electrical modifications.....
Hope that helps in some way.

Or you could have said, they don't make one that's mechanically sound, will that be cash or bank transfer ?
