Thanks. Definitely on the maybe list for next car purchase. The Series aren't always the best thing to drive around in!

Yeah I found myself wanting one after borrowing the garage's ****ty ones a few times. But I guess series 1s are getting pretty old and rough now?

Cheers. Are you a Freelander man/person by any chance? I've driven a couple when one of my Landies is being serviced and really enjoyed them.
