Or the wife is anyway.
This morning I picked up a 2001 Land Rover Freelander TD4 2.0 Station Wagon with 97K on the clock and a good deal of service history (oil changes every 10K, new brake pads at 95K, new radiator at 89K) which surprised me, because after getting it home on the trailer I took it for a 100 mile drive to check everything was OK, as it had sat for 5 months on the owners driveway, and I actually enjoyed driving it...
I'll deny it if you tell anybody though!
The only things I need to do soon is change the alternator belt, as it is slightly squeaky and cracked (probably original) and the Glow Plugs if I were being really pernickety.
The wife is out now in it going to see an old woman (she's a home help) so I'll get the verdict on whether she likes it when she returns, which she should do so any minute now.
Overall, I'm chuffed with it. I might even have a sneaky drive of it every now and then.
I'll get some pictures of it put on soon hopefully when my daughter comes round, as I'm ashamed to say that although I can rebuild an engine, I can't get the damn digital camera to work. Old age is what I blame.
