Cheers, I was pushing the button selecting neutral, not depressing the clutch. Makes sense now. Do you know anything about the cruise control and the pipes leading to the diaphram onthe throttle cable? These were perised assume that it is a simple job for the garage to fix replace the pipes?

All looked pretty good, cruise control did not work but think that was due to perished air pipes left hand side back of engine bay, getting that fixed. Also High low ratio seemed weird. It is a manual with a L button on the middle left of the dash board. Pressed it in light came on, computer...

Cheers guys, was planning on spending around 9k on it, seemed a reasonable offer to me. 33K in miles no obvious offroading any thoughts? Mechanic guy is a farmer knows a couple of things about landys.

Thanks for the advice, taking it out tommorrow for a test drive, dropping in on a friend who is a mechanic to give it a check through. Last time drove it has smooth gear change and was suprised at how well it handled country lanes. Think I am beginning to sell the car to myself :)

Quite excited took out a 1998 4.0 SE for a test drive, beautiful to drive and very comfy. Have a TDI90 which has seen better days. Can anyone give me tips on what to check out for on this Rangy before I make my decision. :)
