Hello to all :welcome2:
I have been a big fan of Land Rover for years and whenever I have have had chance to take the wheel of any Landy, I have jumped at it. When my parents bought a '54 plate Freelander, I could not help but take the keys from them at every chance and disappear for a while to enjoy the drive and of course, try it out going across the fields at the back of my house!!.
Funds would not stretch to what they paid but I thought "sod it!! I'm having one no matter what!!" So after handing back my company car (2008 Audi A4 2.0 TDI SE), I dragged my farmer friend, who owns and maintains his 95 Discovery and 88MFG, up to look at a '99 2.0 Xe Di Station Wagon in December 2010. He did the deal and we brought her home that night.
Love her to bits and she has been fabulous in the ice and snow just before Christmas.
What is even better is that I have Land Ranger Services three miles away from where I live. I chose to have the Cambelt system changed, for my piece of mind, and they only charged £8 over the cheapest online parts cost. I broke the electric window by pressing up and down to clear the ice, and I won't do that again :doh: Land Ranger again only a few £'s more than the online parts co.
My reason for recommending Land Ranger Services and their crew is due to the fact that when I booked her in and took her to have all the brake drums/discs/callipers replaced (I had a bit of a hot front wheel due to stuck calliper and I yanked the handbrake one night resulting in a little bit of stiffness in the drums), Paul advised me that they will do what is necessary to make the car safe. Any other dealership/garage would have jumped at the chance to say "you need x/y/z" and took the money.
Hats off to these guys and I look forward to putting another 100,00 miles on the clock driving my wonderful little Landy
