Hehe that's the plan. I think I'm getting to know the tides and currents of this place, you've got to have a bit of a thick skin especially if you're a Hippo driver!
Yep, you'll soon get the hang of things.

Well said that man. I was gonna get one from a scrappie to tear to bits before the one that's in there goes bang - just so's I know the arse end from the elbow end.
......of course when I say tear apart, I actually mean lovingly and tenderly overhauling and restoring it to a better than factory condition - which shouldn't be hard if we're going on Longbridge Zoo standards

'Ere Freelaner when you were messing about with the engine, did you notice two big old bolt holes in the bottom of the sump and a matching breacket on the chassis? About M10 or M12? Because there are no bolts in mine in the car ! Wondering whether that might be a problem...

i'll have a look on it tomorrow. I can't remember seeing the underside of the sump tbh.
i know that metros with the k series 1.1 had a stabiliser under there but don't know if they're fitted to Freelanders.
