Aye up all ,
I've always believed treat your landy like a woman ! now
she thinks shes one and i think she has started her periods. At 25 it's a
bit late i know but maybe she's a late developer!!!!!!
Having a wife and a teenage daughter and know a landrover
thats 3 times a month, imagine that!!

Mood Swings:- she's a gas converted + petrol series 3 old girl and starts
90% of the time except when parked somewhere you want her to start eg having
new tyres the other day telling the mechanic how good and reliable she was
and you guessed it she would not start !!!!!!

Whining:- She's starting making noises, moaning and groaning from the
gearbox etc..

Cost :- and just like women you know what all these signs mean it's going to
cost me a fortune for a peacefull life (i mean until next month).

Do i trade them all in for younger models or have i made my bed?
Anyone else been through this?

Adrian stressed and skint Ford...

Simple really. Spend loads of money, regular servicing, good lube
job, check the nipples are clear, fill her up every morning...

Best advice the previous owner gave me was to give the underside a good jet
wash after going offroading. If you leave it covered in muck it will
deterioate quickly, this only leads to problems in the future. He also said
don't worry about the leaks, they all do.

Is this relavent?
