Thanks for the answers so far - any ideas why the diff lock light only works sometimes? I'm pretty sure it is always going in as even with the light off if you turn hard the wheels make that scrubbing noise where the diff lock is making them go faster than they want to? Also very intrigued to...

Hi all, just picked up a 1996 disco 300tdi for £1020 with 12 months tax and test :D A few questions really - it has some oil leaks (naturally) and was wondering if anyone had some obvious places to look? it looks like one is coming from back of engine, at first i thought from head gasket but...

Cheers cooper just tried quoting my 1.6 diesel company car and computer said yes!! £43 a day though whereas I pay roughly £2 a day with my actual insurance company! Think I'll just pay the ~£20 admin fees to add as a temp car on my existing policy!

Anyone ever managed to get temporary insurance for under 21s? Tempcover.com reckon they will insure 18+ but having tried to get a quote the computer says no!! I think I can add temporary cars to my existing long term policy, but thought it easier to just get a temp policy if possible. Looking...

So if it has tax, mot and v5 it must've had a VIC between 2002 and now, right? Maybe just hasn't been updated on the mytextcheck database? Part of me thinks maybe the guy bought it, got the dreaded VIC letter before they would issue a v5 and now he's had it done and got v5 he just wants shot...

All my mates have had some dealings some how with EUI ltd (bell, admiral, elephant, diamond) and never had a problem! Although I don't think any of us have had to claim! Surely if they are regulated by the FSA and are recognised by the MID they can't be that bad, and you'll have ways of getting...

Hi all, Recently won a bid on ebay for a 1996 300tdi. Seemed cheap, couldn't work out why. I've paid a £100 deposit and suddenly thought I haven't done an HPI! So I did a text check, came back as not stolen, not scrapped, no colour changes but cat c in 2002 with no record of a VIC? The...

2600 and 4600 is a difference of £2000, which is a lot of money to be paying for insurance!! I've never paid more than 1600, although I started with a 1.1 106 which I bought for £200! If you're gonna crash you're gonna crash, whether its a 10mph roll onto the roof of a disco or smashing a mini...

Welcome to the forum. you'll see lots of hate for the freelander, but everyones got to start somewhere!! I only kept mine for 6 weeks though before I'd had enough! Hope the HG is ok, I've heard a lot of horror stories about the 1.8 petrol. mine was the 2.0 XEDi

beat me to it :(

Brilliant thread - took ages to read through all of it. Bet you're counting down the days until the summer holidays!

Not sure where ibstock is but I may be interested. Will have a look on google maps now

Cheapest car I've insured is my 13 plate BMW 1 series, only a 1.6 turbo derv but at 700/year at 19 with 3 points its pretty good. Half the price of previous older cars (318i, 316i, mx5, gaylander, 106) But 4k on 12 months Insurance?.. This kid has far too much money to burn - or maybe daddy...

Right so all this being said what sort of price can I expect to get a decent fender for? Right now I have £700 plus my car which is worth just under £2k. Is this reasonable or should I keep saving?

And your point is? I, like most people on this forum (I'd imagine) registered because I have an interest in land rovers and would like to find out more about them from members more experienced than myself. I'm aware of the costs involved however I think there is a difference between wanting a...

Well thanks for the warm welcome everyone, looks as if most of you take things perhaps a little too seriously

By cheap what I mean is noones going to buy one for twice the price if there's an exact same condition and spec sat next to it for 'cheap'. Budgets a bit tight at the moment per se but can do welding etc from home

Hi there new to land rovers and don't have one yet but looking to get one :) hopefully a defender but can't decide on 90 or 110? Come from Chippenham/corsham area if anyone knows of a cheap fender in the area ;)

You got some more pics and the reg for an insurance quote? Got a e46 318i touring if thats any interest to you?
