i am glad i joined, time to get motivated

thanks guys I do feel well and truly ............ on the bright side....I do have a land rover in the back yard....1 step forward:)

1st month trying to get freindly mechanic to come see, but always too busy, then changed the water pump, went on holiday for month, came back beginning Sept and 2nd mechanic gave me the truly good news. I knew it would be bad but now wonder if buying a recon would do the trick

I bought it beginning of June, Have only driven it from Glasgow to Inverness, I thought buying privately no come back. You are right about mechanics dodging the work, my 2 freindly mechanics said either sell it on to someone else, which I wont or trade it in. I can say it is the cleanist...

part 2 We paid for it, left glasgow @ 11 that night half way back I was following in our rover 75 when the thickest blackest tornado of smoke came out the exhaugst. This was 2 in morning. We managed to drive very gingerly back to inverness. Next day phoned the guy, he was shocked. But no help...

ok here is the quick story, Live in Inverness, car advertised gumtree glasgow, first to see it and phoned. Told it was immaculate. 3 hour drive so he said he would not be wasting our time. Arrived glasgow 10 that night. Vehicle looked great He then said we must take it on a long drive as he did...

Bought our first freelander y reg 2.5L auto full house from very honest chap "bring any mechanic will pass any test" with just happened to have an engine that needs drastic repairs, head gasket plus much more that went straight over my head, just got worse and worse. So I thought, why not ask...
