    TD5 90 holding back

    Iv had a problem with my td5 90 for a while now. It'll race up to 60 no problems but then it lurches an won't go any further. It's not too much of a problem but just curious... Any ideas?

    Hard to start, then engine light.

    It never came with a fob. Just 2 ignition keys there is a light in the speedo but iv never seen it light up. Does it mean it's been disabled?

    Bastid freelander!

    Told the plod and gave them the mirror, it was scratched up and the glass was cracked so didn't think anyone would buy it. I'll let ya know what happens. Keep an eye out for a silver gaylander with no l/h mirror and a drunk driver who can't drive. :p

    insurance at 17

    Sorry I meant pt them as named drivers. Im pretty sure its fraud to do that. My insurance policy says that I have to use it 51% of the time. Though I'm not sure how they could ever tell.
