Nothing. It's still in a local garage where it has now been for a month :mad: It's hopefully going to be sorted soon. But, this is the Republic of Ireland and things don't always happen too quickly :confused:. In Cornwall, jobs get done "drectly" (usually within a few days) here in Ireland...

It's always going to be a compromise which ever way we go. But such is life. :D

Welcome to the zone of Landyzone. That's a fine looking vehicle and I wish you well and every happiness.

You're very welcome

Good morning ScorpioJoe and welcome to the Looneyzone. Good to have you on board

Hi Mr MungoPark. Thanks for a very interesting insight into your gearbox update. Why is there always a big negative at the end of these good news postings. :eek: The additional fuel costs really put a downer on my enthusiasm :oops: I have a Td5 90 and, despite towing a small horse box, most of...

Now Mr Landy-lee, you're certainly going to need a much bigger dishwasher. And, I don't think that herself isn't going to notice that the cutlery tray is damaged :eek:. The smell of the WD40 is definitely going to be noticed in the kitchen and the taste on your cornflakes will be yuk:oops:

My god, your a brave man:eek:

Hello JimS. I can't help thinking "is it really worth it?". New motors are not too expensive and, if your going to add the cost of your time into the calculation, unless you enjoy the tinkering, or just want to get out of the house during Coronation St, is it worthwhile? o_O I've had all the...

Another Defender for me. All of the other LR badged vehicles are out of the question

Was there much damage to the Landy:eek:

Republic of Ireland, if you pay me my flight and accommodation, I will be delighted to tell you all the mistakes that I have made over the years. It won't help you much, but I could enjoy a good break:D. Good luck with your search. There have been numerous articles in the LR magazine which, if...

That's the spirit old sea dog. Very well done.

I'm certain that the Police would give you dispensation to move it to a garage to get it repaired. It must be in everyone's interest to get it sorted. I'm sorry I can't help. I'm no mechanic, too old and fragile and living in Ireland. But, I can't help thinking that if you paid someone to do...

So now you can make a plan :p That's progress. Unlike my own defender which has been off the road for almost a month now :mad: I have already posted my tale of woe, so I'll spare you a re-run of that.o_O However, I ordered a part from the UK seven days ago. It was posted on the same day that...

What work, if any did you get done? Or, am I missing something :confused:

How much would the job cost at your local garage and, if it was done by them would that solve the problem?

Welcome to Looneyzone John Pattinson.:D

Hello Mr Nysensi. No need to apologise for buying a Freelander. Welcome to Looneyzone.

Hello Mr C8EFF, welcome into the zone of intolerance ;) Splendid looking vehicle :cool:. It's normal practice to show images of rust prone vehicles, but you're still welcome :D
