The dealer will fight tooth and nail but you will win in the end. I would just write a letter and say you want refund or you will take it to the small claims court. With the photos/video and the mot history, add to that a summary from your competent mechanic the dealer doesn't have a chance. I...

MOT History says it all really... https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/results?registration=j368xsg&checkRecalls=true Its all fixable..... They mention the underseal which has clearly been put there to avoid the MOT prying eyes.

If your goal is to keep a historic vehicle I wouldn't worry.... tbh there is that much variation and inconsistency in the way rules are applied you will be fine. When a group of us registered Year 81 vehicles for historic some were passed, others were rejected, some had odd dates on the V5 so...

Major modifications is that.... Major..... I would think replacing a rear cross member with same dimensions but 2mm thicker would not be major tbh. The goal is to make it last not change the job/function. I have a 43 year old vehicle and had the chassis fixed and front section replaced. The...

Of course they are.... there are a lot of folk buying older vehicles and trying to mod them and make them suitable for modern /other use....which isn't what the intention of heritage was. Heritage = having a classic, loving the classic, keeping the classic. If you had a old Range Rover and bob...

IMHO anyone who uses "must watch" in a thumbnail is desperate for views.

Current state ? Why do they want our freedom again ? I feel quite free here ? maybe a little underpaid and over taxed.

Rubbish.... done to death.... fixing a chassis is NOT modifying a chassis. Modifying the chassis to take a EV motor would be a modification which would cause Q plate.

Welcome, looks lovely...... Not up to speed on Freelanders but I like that shape.... What year is it ? Do you have a before and after pic ?

Nahh you dont.... Folk just take the gearbox out for the fun of it once the clutch is done....and they have time to kill. All joking aside... some things suck and this is one of them.

I was pleasantly surprised as recently ball parked 330 quid for a screen wash motor as its a pig to get to, wheel off, wing off... pleasantly surprised to see £56 quid as it was just those hose came off.... Not sure many garages would come in under their estimate by much.... even if it was a...

Agree...... its ok to look at the workshop manual with the "simply remove the two bolts, release then refit in reverse order", but on a 30 year old car...

Welcome, 92 200TDI here, it also plagues my left knee as well.

I have some cracks, always assumed it was the compound filling the gutter rather than the roof itself.

They think if they own it they can do what they want, bloke down the road has about 10 tractors rotting in the fields, some classics....

Just dinky size right.....

Welcome, life is too short, embrace and enjoy it..... there are loads with NOS (New old stock) military non issued kit which hasn't served as well. Have some fun in it...

Agree.. you can buy a 3 k defender and spend 30 k on it and you wont have a 33k defender. Its a given you will NEVER make your money back on it, which is fine as you have built it for your needs/likes etc. Stick it on eBay and keep the address well hidden...and you will get what its...
