Hi Odenne. At this point ALL help gratefully accepted, ALL 110s will be considered - at least you're not far away! I'm not terribly mechanically-minded (if it can't be fixed by shouting, crying or brute strength and ignorance then it can't be fixed by me!) Valerie is quite...

Seriously, thanks redhand! But have you ever heard the expression "Like a kid with a new toy"? I was thinking of the anticpation of the train journey up there and the slooooooow, meandering drive back through all those counties and shires, just me and my new Landy - could take a couple of...

Aw! Shucks! That's sooo nice of you to offer but I couldn't possibly put you to so much trouble! Take5 - have sent you a PM

Sorry folks, I have neglected you for a while but there has been much going on! Much discussion and a little 'jiggling' of finances and priorities... This argument carried a great deal of weight!!!!!! Anyhoo... there is some GOOD news and some BAD news! The GOOD news - I CAN HAVE A LANDY, I...

Hello from near the northern border!

Hi All! Thanks for all the helpful comments. We've had a talk about everything and thanks to your info and opinions (and my modest negotiating skills, cough, cough!) the FG is starting to look less of 'rosy' proposition! Still a long way to go but 1 step at a time...

Ah! I knew this site would be the place to get the info I needed! Thanks All - interesting reading. Have learned some interesting things against the FG - things I didn't know and she doesn't know (yet!). For the Landy - Fun (obviously). Fun for the kids and when you drive 400 miles each...

Trouble is technically/logically she's right! And I would feel guilty if I bought the Landy and something went wrong. Wish I could use the argument that the Landy is a one-off, lifetime purchase that will still be running decades after the FG has crumbled to dust... or.... .... the Landy...

Ha ha ha ha! Nope, not going to consider that, no way - what if she gets custody of my rods?

Ah, the two car solution! Would be good but there's only one lot of cash! :(

She understands why I want the Landy but she's making her decision with her head - some people might say that's not unreasonable. Me? If I can't have the Landy then I'm not really bothered what it is... so might as well go with the Galaxy. (How long do you think it would take me to spray my...

Hi there! Lanson/Launceston/the Gateway! Nice to hear from you.

She not only has the moral highground and more persuasive technical arguments she also has a bigger stick! :D

Hi! Thanks for the 'hello'. Not a vehicle specific prob - more 'how can I get what I want?'

Hello everybody! I'm a newbie to this site and I'm also a LR wannabe. I have a very serious problem... Married, father of 2, currently drive a F/Focus but cannot squeeze fishing tackle, wife, 2 kids, kid's stuff and my parents (who visit regularly) all into the Focus. I have £x to get a new...

Hello to all of you! It's a lovely day here in Cornwall... so why am I sitting here at the PC feeling blue? Well, I have a serious LR-related problem which I'm going to post in General Chat. Hope you can help.
