It sound like you're having a bad run with your Landies at the mo. I don't think this can be put down to build quality - its a TD4 F1 - so its between 10 and 15 years old.
hi mate,yes you are right 12 year old freelander,127,000 miles
on the clock,disco v8 series 2 same mileage as above & i am
driving round in a neighbours renault megane,ive had seven
landys & the best one was a 1972 lightweight,it took me the
best part of 4 years to restore,but i loved it, only because it did
not have all the modern sh.te to add to things to do on it,maybe
i will knock the above 2 in & get a non complicated series one.
land rover take a bow for tc,hd,abs,srs & all the other useless
stuff over the years.
RANT OVER.
