( first chance to drive it in snow since i bought it last year .. )

Bought another one
52 plate 3 door in dark metallic green (Oxford green was it?), GS spec, 1.8 petrol, 17 inch wheels, 117k on the clock, partial service history including head gasket, cambelt etc. Light protectors, seat covers, load area mat. MOT end April.
Oh, and original Land Rover radio cassette with CD stacker. Quite impressed with the sound really!!
Interior and bodywork very very nice. Drives nicely but slight tremor through steering (poss wheel balance). No documentation for 4WD being replaced but its all there and seems to work fine.
Further testing required and a few things to sort, but very pleased with it for the price.

absolutely worth doing though matey, well done
I'm only doing it cos SV or Will said so. Having followed Rave instructions on re filling you shouldn't really have to - anyhow stop moaning DD3!! BTW quick thanks to jamesmartin - he knows stuff!!

very sound advice, also check it as often as you can (not to the point of paranoia though
all these little upgrades and doing things in a certain way will lessen the likelyhood of expensive damage occurring.
JM is the man
Funny thing is Freelaner, I've had years of being warned that any minute the old Fleeby will blow HG. Never has (don't care if I'm tempting fate). This has blighted my ownership / viewpoint, which is a shame.

Yes it has all the 2001 model year mods but no idea if multi layer etc.

i hope you never have to find out
Me too! Maybe running mondo off and on has reduced stress on the lump - who knows.

What's worse than that is when it actually happens
mine went at 78k just after I bought it.
i really wish i'd done my homework or knew that LZ existed.
The paranoia can be same either way - minus cost of course, anyhoo moving on, so my ranting days are numbered on this side of the forum - TFFT I hear you say
