Thor is one of our ex-members. Not dead, just doesn't post any more.
He was a mildly controversial figure on LZ, although generally quite well liked.
Some members may assume you are him, returned to LZ, he has had several accounts before.

Welcome to LZ - wish I had the bravery to throw everything on black and get a mature RRS or Vogue.

Hi there and welcome!
All landys are money pits, although pit implies the money is retrievable

I don’t know why I don’t buy one tbh - the Defender I have requires thousands of pounds spending and at least you can plug a RR in for at least an idea of the problem
If I plugged mine it the code would read rust, leaking oil and sagging headliner.

If you left it long enough, would the error codes rust and fall off?I don’t know why I don’t buy one tbh - the Defender I have requires thousands of pounds spending and at least you can plug a RR in for at least an idea of the problem

Luckily, my best best friend is a land rover nut, and is much better with a spanner than myself. But, the new side steps are already ordered aswell as new discs and pads all round too.

that’s awesome u have someone to help , I know I wouldn’t be able to afford garage prices
had to rebuild all mine and ur be amazed how much nicer it drives after it’s all been done , please don’t think I’m being rude but get them done as soon as u can
those steps seem to be a water trap making them rust out, also check ur sills etc , going to fit some rock sliders on mine , apologises I’m waffling , lol
hope that helps a little
