They should have made note of it by either failing the car or making an advisory. The whole point of an MOT is to check the vehicle is roadworthy, I mean what would be the point of an MOT otherwise? If the seller knows the tester well he "could" have it passed regardless, but the tester would...

if it was a corroded brake line for instance this should have been picked up by them

I imagine your right but that wont cheer me up if somebody has knowingly left it in a dangerous state. Will have to wait and get the diagnostic before jumping the gun.

Well in true Land Rover fashion the disco is in the garage as we speak. Not bad to say I only picked it up Saturday. So last night the handbrake warning light came on, topped up the fluid and thought that was that. Going on the school run today and the light comes back on and the pedal is...

Done, thanks I should just nip up to tong off road centre on a weekend as its only a stones throw from my house.

Fantastic, i was out there in 2001 for 6 months on exercise with the Army. Great part of the world and was nice to have a choice of vehicles and landscape to go play in while i was there. I remember it being £10 a pint in the Hilton back then as well, good times:D

Some great advice, thanks guys:D

I did have a look before i bought it and im due to take it down to my mates garage for him to have a good look underneath for me. It looks good from what ive seen but the last wax oil receipt i can find is from 2010 and will need treating again.

Thanks I will try to find somebody local who has the equipment to test it. Hopefully not an expensive fix. A few other questions I have are The rear fan controls for the 2nd and 3rd row passengers only blows out cold air, is this correct? The rear headphone controls work, but only...

I'm in leeds if anybody can help I expected that if I have ace, and it's not working, to be able to feel it when cornering. Yea, it feels very good in the corners which was a surprise if I'm honest.

Hi Silverlandy:)

Yes i have fluid in both sides, if its disabled by a fault code reader should i expect it to feel bad into corners, it feels tonns better than my 300, far more stable and you can feel it pull you into the bend as you turn in. I would have expected it to feel terrible if it wasnt working. I...

Already on it pal Thanks:D
