One thing would it be a target for thieves ? I read with dismay what happens to some members cars, I'm hoping it's too old and relatively worthless to get half inched !

Like it ! Very unfortunate name I know !

Thank you all for your input, very interesting and varying opinions, I was in the trade but many moons ago, new vehicles like that cost more than my house ! I obviously don't expect every bell and whistle to work on a twenty year old vehicle. I've looked it up on the mot site and for the last...

Although I bet no one could beat the deal I got from crap fit a few years ago. I needed two tyres but they told me uniroyals were on special if I bought four. They also had an offer where I paid nothing upfront but they take your card details and in two months give you the choice to clear the...

That's a good price, I paid nearly £175 for two here though 18s but tyres are dear here.

Re the bicycle wheel I'm taking it that when he spins the wheel it's totally free which can't be right ? I've never had a car that you can free wheel as surely the shoes would be lightly applied and with all your might it wouldn't even turn one revolution let alone with rear wheels connect to...

Feel really sorry for the young guy but if the 4x4 system is fooked personally I'd pay a garage to disconnect it and enjoy as fwd only. I was correct re mine, the mechanic verified there's nothing left of my rwd, the whole lot's been removed. Drives very well ( or will when I get shocks done )...

Lol no apologies necessary, I appreciate all the tips and advice, it's advertised on flea bay if you fancy a look. I see in the ad it said years mot but that was in jan so he obviously can't shift it ! It was up for nearly 3k now asking £2650. Also states it's a rare colour, Atlantis blue ? I...

Many thanks for your reply, I know it was a kind of numpty question. The model I've seen is a 98 ( late ) 4.6 auto. 100k with alleged Fsh. I'm not interested in off roading at the mo. And mpg isn't an issue as only cover around 1000 miles a year ( all motorway ) As it's a dealer I can px my car...

Maybe a fault with the new exhaust ? Especially if it didn't rattle before ? Maybe loose baffles inside or inside the cat ?

Made in Thailand, don't know if that's good or bad. Did you try the black circle site yet ? You just type in size and it lists all the brands they sell with info on applications and road noise etc but more interestingly reviews from customers.

Hi all, greetings from the other side ( freelander owner ) I'm thinking of upgrading to a p38 and wondered what to look for in a 98 V8 and what kind of money do they achieve ? I've seen a nice clean example with just over 100 k advertised for £2600 From a dealer so guess it's slightly inflated...

Don't go cheap if you're keeping the vehicle, it's your life at the end of the day. Black circle have a good website, you can compare the different makes and read reviews. They come to your home or work.

A Also guess your quote doesn't include labour ? So all in all five times the vehicles value !

That's if my wallet doesn't do a runner first ! You may remember my earlier post when I said it drove terribly ? Now I know why lol

All doom n gloom eh G lol, expensive things these motor cars !

Buy some DPF cleaner, stick it in the tank and drive it like you stole it ! Within the law obviously.

Have at last found a trustworthy mechanic who has today picked up Phoebe, given her a service and returned. He struggled removing oil filter as was completely rusted ( not a good sign ) the fuel filter was completely blocked ! He was amazed she still ran. All the engine mounts are totally shot (...

Your a star, thanks Flossie found it straight away.

Intermediate reduction drive , there's plenty of videos etc on the interweb .
