    Oh Mondo that does look fun. To be honest a few of us are toying with the idea of a shared ownership 4x4. With the house purchase looming it's not top of my list for spending though. Shame! Here's my last 4x4 trip up at Langdale Quest. Very good fun indeed. That's me at 5 mins into it...

    Hey, a fan then eh? Glad you like it. I aim to please :p I still haven't ventured back into the Land Rover camp all though I did like the look of their recent concept. I'm still driving a V6 gas guzzler but it has a Vauxhall badge up front. 3.2 litre GSi Vectra. Silly fast. So lots of the...

    The K series is fitted to the MG TF too. That car also blows head gaskets and breaks down a lot. Lotus now use the Toyota engine in their cars I believe.

    Morning troops, and what a lovely morning it is too. Did I mention that Mondo is buying a tractor? I reckon he banged his head really hard. I wonder if Ming has a fix brain ray gun, some one could do with a shot.

    Bit of help please

    I agree with the above. Bleed the system first. If this doesn't work replace the master and slave cyclinder. Simple job, any Freelander owner can do it ;-)

    First time 4x4'er

    My old V6 automatic used to feel sluggish when reversing on full lock. It's normal, don't worry. Can't comment on the VCU problems, mine never suffered those problems.
