Yes indeed. I have no idea. I have had this once before a long time ago.
I wonder if the top part was latched but not sealed because of the huge box I had stored in the back of the bus all last week and was making the top part of the tailgate a "slam-shut" and under tension.
It’s always a worry, with any make or marque of the LR range…rust and water ingress.. and the other multidimensional problems yet, we ..’happy band’ continue to buy them….it’s a question I often ask mesel why? When we could buy much cheaper brands with better anti corrosion levels, better comfort levels…better engine and gearboxes..? Why?
In my case…I passed me test in a series 1 in Gibraltar and will always love the original brand, though my days of using any of the originals is a no…no ,due to the seating and me creaky knees.
Me current love, though better described as a late night trembler, is a P 38….lovely, sleek all the bells n whistles but not a Disco…she’s currently laid up with the dreaded liner tap….where to go from here?
Options…try to rediscover me mechanical abilities from working on NA and basic TDS from yonks ago and remove the block and send it to V8….wait for the local expert to ‘fit me in’
Park it in the corner of the paddock and look for a decent disco 1 or 2…..
I was looking for a decent Disco without any 1/4 rust, preferably an LPG conversion when I came across the p 38 low miles, really good condition and with the FSH…and some…so I thought ‘why not’?
Afterwards, I remembered why I had joined this forum in the first place? Age…a somewhat underestimated condition-)
