I've not done anything to the hippo, But its currently with the Garage having a new wheel bearing

One bit of advice, Have the little scrots pay for the quote up front, the last thing you want is your landy getting fixed, them ****ing off and you stuck with your landy in a stealership and a huge bill.

Great video, Feel like i missed out, oh well, always next time. For anyone who cares, had a call from the garage, Front wheel bearing is gone, which is weird as i had no vibration through the steering, But at least we know the cause so i should be back next time.

Awesome, Well hopefully it will be fixed by next time, waiting to hear the extent of the damage now, my girlfriend works next to the Garage so she is keeping me posted.

Hey Guys, Sorry i couldn't make it, I gave Carpy a call but didnt get a chance to come on here. Looks like either the Gearbox or the VCU has had it on the Hippo. It's back at the garage being looked at. (warranty)

Gaylander isn't here forever, I'm waiting to start a new job within my company in Jan, Means a lot more £££ and hopefully i will be back on track by about June, So i can start looking at other land rovers.

are we all meeting at 9am then?

I have become obsessed with my landrover, Outside at 12.30am last night, Hat, Gloves, jacket and spotlight, By the garage changing my spark plugs and checking my fluids just because i had the plugs in my living room and got weirdly excited about fitting them. Last time this happened i ended up...

I used to have people looking at my car a lot, The motorbike is even worse, I have come out to find people sat on it before. When asked what they are doing i normally get 'I was just looking mate'. Yeah, Nice, You don't get into a convertible to look at it so get the **** off of my motorbike.

Enjoy 4 hours in passport control :mad: i hated that part of the crossing into Morocco. took forever to get in and out.

Do we know what time people are meeting at? As far as Freelander recovery points go, The front one is a single bolt on affair so i MAY be able to fit something after market on before Saturday if i can find something that fits. The rear one is a weld on job just like a normal car and there are...

Went down to Morocco last year on my motorbike in March, (mid to late march) Caught the end of the rainy seasion so everything is very green and lush, In some photos it looks like like China then Morocco. I was the support vehicle for a bike going further south through africa, So i had to do it...

Ahh, I shall have to bring my wellys then :D

My ex was a pretty little thing, Dead handy with a Spot welder and a drill as well, She did the install of the 4 point rollcage on my old VW Golf for me while i was busy rebuilding the steering rack. Impressive, shame she was completely bonkers

Awesome, I shall be in the very standard looking green freelander and probably busy digging it a small puddle lol Probally the most detinguishing feature is it is a green 3 door with 'thuxton' written on the tire cover and the front bump guard with foglights, Im still yet to see any other green...

Add me to the end of the list, One hippo coming to get stuck / break down with you guys. :D Me, With any luck carpy will get stuck and after i have pulled him out we can hold him to that pink tu-tu he promised to wear! lol

Thanks, ill check it out, I will be coming from Hemel so south of the location. Thanks dude.

Excellent, Count me in, Has a meeting time been arranged or anything yet? Will i also need to get my paws on a tow rope before i go?

Would love too, Would it be okay for a hippo with a first time offroader behind the wheel?

Well, i now have my sumpguard fitted so if anyone feels like inviting some noobs bear me in mind :D
