Back again with Bargain basement hippo

Hi all.

Registered previously when I had my TD4 Commercial Freelander that I was using for towing my cars that I bought.
Ended up selling it as I got made an offer I couldn't refuse

Anyway I picked this one up the other day from one of the Dealerships I normally buy from





Its a 1999 S reg, 67000 Miles with history, Needs a good clean as its full of tree sap.

Nice one

The number plate looks very clean.
I think you make have polished that a bit hard tho...

Cheers for the little tip,

I was a valeter for the last 14 years & have got a few chemicals saved up over the years , Im planning to give it a clean this weekend if I get time out from the refurb on our new house

My pig was parked on my drive for 18 ish months and was covered in all sorts of crap. I poured Fairy liquid on its roof one evening and let it run off overnight so it soaked everything. Washed next day, clean as a whistle. Well..........a 12 year old battered whistle.

I had a white French thing many years ago that was covered in the green crap that only comes form parking under a tree over winter. I used Jif and it all came up good! Wouldn't recommend it on a decent car, but it was French so obviously was crap. And I don't think Jif exists any more.

Flash bleach spray is just as good

That's a nice low mileage for a 99 Freelander. Most that age are sky high mileage or dead K series jobs.

That's a point- probably spent most of it's life in a garage in pieces. I'd rather one with a few miles and replaced main drive train parts. If it's lasted a high mileage it must be a good one!
