    Walked away AGAIN

    That Red one - why do people always smother the interior with that silicone dash cleaner stuff to make everything shiney ? I cant abide that stuff, I would probably walk away just on seeing that! Ok maybe a light 'dusting' to clean things up - restore some colour or something, but that looks...

    Looking through Autotrader

    Quite a lot really - a trade sale has lots more protection for the buyer / consumer laws / seller has many more responsibilities with regards to descriptions - fit for purpose - sale of goods etc etc than a private sale. Sell it as private its basically buyer beware - if its a lemon tough luck.

    Should i be concerned ?

    Well - I have talked myself out of this one - it might look nice on the outside, might have had the chassis etc sorted out - but that mileage is a big issue, especially with nothing to say what has been done engine and running gear wise. Top marks to whoever did the bodywork, but the body is not...

    New Land Rover ?

    Hi all - first post from me. Many moons ago I used to have a 90 CSW 2.5 diesel, which was great fun to drive, and I had endless fun in local lanes and off road courses. Sadly it had to go when times were hard. I am thinking at the end of the year I might be looking for another, as I miss...
