I don't have any 'Thoughs', but I do have a thought! Car salesmans Golden Rule: Never make a decision on a viewing of a vehicle in the rain! Rain can hide an awful lot. I know it's difficult in this wonderful summer of ours, but do try to see it in the dry, before parting with your...

Don't be afraid to give it a poke here and there and listen to the resulting sound. If in any doubt, walk away (no, dammit RUN) because there will be plenty more to look at.

I'm fairly sure many of us Birmingham dwellers, will know of and possibly visited A B Fletchers (Motor Factors) in town, an wonderful emporium of all things mechanical and much much more? .. to a kid it was a wonderland! A few years ago, a company called Oscott (Auto trade Wholesaler) took...

:( Disappointed..... still waiting for my T-bolts for the airbox hose. If they've not arrived by tomorrow, I shall have to give Gareth a reminder..

Being wet mate, Dartmouth underpass and St Chad's Queensway flooded out a couple of times.... Sutton itself has being miserable to a lesser degree, although the rain overwhelmed my soak-away's on the driveway more than once and flooded my garage twice! Thank God, summer is just round the...

Well this week I had the opportunity to wade through axle deep mud and fjord through water.... just to get my driveway......bloody rain!:mad:

I personally think it should be removed from Motor Insurance policies, unless it is 'opted' for at an additional premium to those who want it. Then, Insurance companies can just insure the vehicle against accidental damage/theft etc etc, therefore reducing premiums! Or am I being silly again?

:welcome:

:welcome: Good looking Landy there bud...:) Best colour too ... (IMHO)

Welcome Douglas. You'll find plenty of help and advice from Freelander owners, but punctuated by pointless dribble from 'Series' and 'Defender' owners, the occasional 'Discovery' owner but not too many Range Rover owners (...bit more mature) who really and honestly quite frankly shouldn't be...

+1 What would a 'Riskovery' owner know about style and comfort? Unless of course, it is a Discovery 3 or 4..... ;)

Or... Divide trip mileage (say 320) by litres added (say 36.00) Multiply by 4.54 (litres to Gallons conversion) and there's the mpg. 320 divided by 36 = 8.88 miles to the litre 8.88 multiplied by 4.54* = 40.35* mpg (very little point in taking it further than two decimal places for...

Had mine for 11 months now. When I first had her she gave me between 32-34 mpg. Now, with new tyres with correct pressures, a new crankcase breather, new exhaust backbox, regular addition of 'Lucas Oils' UCL, diff oil change, engine oil and filter change, even running on ASDA's diesel, I...

Or rot as fast.......:D

I won't worry Andrew.....:) ... but thank you for your concern. :)

See post#2 Minty.... " ... and after reading some of the critiscism here about Adrian Flux, I thought I'd leave them until last. Now, before I had my Freelander, I had a Mercedes insured with Flux and had had excellent service and very good premiums. " All Insurers have their off days...

:tea: Just put the phone down to AF, myself. Last year, Swiftsure asked £295, which was competitive... this year?... £416 So I did the comparison sites, and after reading some of the critiscism here about Adrian Flux, I thought I'd leave them until last. Now, before I had my...

Same here. Methinks, I'm off to Hellfrauds to get a couple of new jubilee clips and fit those while I wait. It seems an awful shame this nice new shiney hose sitting at the back of the work desk waiting for the hose clips I ordered.... Ah well. :(

Found the camera! As promised.... Airbox hose still to go on........

Same, here only it was my own fault, I forgot to order them with the Hose ... der :rolleyes: ! I can tell you, I will have a good condition 70-90mm jubilee clip to clean, and a broken 'spring' clip after the new ones are on though! Looks SO much nicer under the bonnet even with only...
