Well guys not been on for a while...lots of work...BUT I would like to wish all you lot a good future with your Freelanders. I will from tomorrow no longer be in the gang.
After spending a lot of money over the last month on general repairs servicing etc. This week the Freebie went all nuts and decided to destroy the IRD plus the rear diff mount and when the mech was underneath he also dicovered a leaky rear brake drum plus, oil in the clutch and many other pieces of joy.
Total to repair 3000.00€. The mech is a mate and basically told me to scrap the car a this price did not include the VCU, and the labour alone was over a grand.
I have cut my losses taken it to the local dealer and sold it for a grand.
I am gutted...BUT what do I do I do not have this kind of money plus the timingbelt is also due.
So goodbye all I may stop in for a chat now and then BUT sorry to say I will be buying another BMW for sure.....
