Introducing freebe Phoebe

Hi all, greetings from sunny Lanzarote. We recently became the new custodians of Phoebe a 2000 diesel freelander.
She was sitting unloved in a garden for nearly two years, all I had to do was get her back on the road ! Easier said than done thanks to spanish laws, no insurance no mot, no mot no insurance !
Still managed to get her trailered to local grease monkeys who checked her over and took for test. Unbelievably she passed so can enjoy her for a whole year.
Already had spill pipes fail and now water pumps decided to leak so I guess there really is no such thing as totally free.

Welcome to the world of Land Rover ownership

At least with the climate out there rust shouldn't be an issue, and that's the biggest issue they generally have mate, so enjoy !

Many thanks for your welcome,
Also stevie wonder mots helped alot !
The almost completely bald rear tyres were advisories !

His assistant named Ray Charles I assume ?

No believe it or not it was David blunkett

Hi forgot to say being not much more than twice the size of the isle of wight yes I'm afraid rust is a big problem here especially as we use desalinated water for car washing/windscreen bottles etc
