    Hammerite (small bubbles) Grrrrrr

    I spray everything. my Finnish is a bit hit and miss but still better than brush. I go direct from metal to hammerite rust treatment primer then thin down what ever hammerite I've chosen. Hammered finish is a bit crap via gun but rest are fine.

    take it back to bare and just use hammerite sounds like the paint has reacted to me. Hammerite hates fresh paint other than itself.

    Newbie here

    3.5k will get you a decent fender. 200tdi engine is such a good.engine simple and strong. Good for 300k+ if well looked after any evidence of Servicing and check for smoke. Make sure difflock and high low works, rest is like normal cars as regard to engine. just check for rust and check again...

    Against a car the FL should be cheaper insurance. 2k get you one with insurance. maybe take out monthly insurance and use what you didn't buying to save up. offset the Insurance against the savings.

    by most insurers they see the freelander in the same light as a hatch meaning the petrols are.considered "sporty". getting an auto will reduce your insurance. the disco is an easy drive and the dervs are good as they can be run on chip fat. That will make running costs cheaper along with...

    Freelanders cost less to insure than the like engined salloon or hatch. Not 100% as at 28 I get raped by the insurers using a different set of rules. Try a disco cheaper for me to Insure and much more agile offroad. I mean to be ok in a freelander make sure it has 4wd and a decent set of wheels.

    the reason why you should remove the EGR

    not really no. bit like the 3+ miles of intake cars used to have. remove it improves throttle response with no negative affects. the egr is much the same really. Lets see if any-one can correct me.
