Hi there,
I've been visiting the forum for a couple of weeks now and you lot seem like a good crowd.
I had a problem with the wipers on my 200TDi 90, and Grunt was kind enough to post a useful reply for me - cheers.
I realised that I haven't introduced myself properly yet, so here goes.
I live down in Cornwall, on the fringes of Bodmin Moor. I currently have a 200TDi 90 - K plate, 85k miles (when er indoors lets me get at the digital camera, I'll post some photos).
I must confess that I don't use the Landy for everyday transport - I need something 100% reliable and comfortable on long journeys for that. I do use it every weekend and most evenings - I'm a keen shooter and amateur gamekeeper.
Previously I had 2 Freelanders, which I did use for everyday transport. Both were great cars to drive but a real pain as far as reliability is concerned.
The first - 1998 diesel - went through 2 gearboxes, 1 rear suspension, 2 fuel pumps and 2 heads in 60k miles.
The second was a V6 petrol - aaaaaaaaagh! 19mpg, intermittent sudden total loss of power (usually when overtaking), overheating and 2 full engines in 30k miles.
I have to say though, my local LR dealer never baulked - everything was done under warranty.
Anyway, enough of my ramblings - I look forward to participating more in the forum in future.
