Hi all i feel i will be here a lot just bought my first Landrover pity i didn't see this site first as i have just been ripped off by Yanthelandyman and if i had read this first i would of known who he is.
Oh well decided to do keep it anyway and do the weld all the hidden holes and find out where all the leaks are coming from water into the car and oil out of the engine.

tried the fuse didn't know about the relay will look at that
something online about soldering a circuit board behind the glove box too
it is tidy i would of bought it anyway for less money if i had a proper look but really it should have been listed as spares or repair not "A good solid discovery." Lets hope i caught it in time to learn how to fix it lol
first thing is the engine and work out how to check if the cambelt looks old
At least there is a reciept for a service a few months ago at £260 i doubt they checked the cam belt though for that price

As it turns out i got £400 back to pay for welding he can be reasoned with
so it looks like i am keeping the discovery it did take me 3 hours to compose a letter to him though no point arguing over the phone.
