Well I paid £1,500 for it from the daughter of somebody who died and left it to her in a Will, but she had no use for it as she has a 2008 Disco. I did a bit of research and it looks like I got a bargain.

I've no idea if it was a Commercial Sex Worker... Presuming that is what you mean ? Haha.

Along with my friend, I run a small car dealership (I barely even consider it work, just something to keep me sane) and this morning I picked up a 1991 Defender 110 2.5 Diesel, white in colour and in alright condition. No dents or anything, just a bit dull and scratched. With some polishing...

Well I can't use that excuse, as we have a double parallel drive... Maybe my '01 Transit will block my Disco off one day, by accident of course!

It gets the seal of approval! Even I don't get that, so she must really like it.

Or the wife is anyway. This morning I picked up a 2001 Land Rover Freelander TD4 2.0 Station Wagon with 97K on the clock and a good deal of service history (oil changes every 10K, new brake pads at 95K, new radiator at 89K) which surprised me, because after getting it home on the trailer I...

Well I said if he could go down to 3 Grand I'd take it. He thought about it for a while and tried to get me up to £3,200 but eventually gave in. I'm going out first thing tomorrow to pick it up. That should get me out of the dog house for a few days at least!

Thought I'd update this thread. I phoned up and it is an elderly man selling it as he's given up driving. He said it has a few months MOT and a years tax, but it is 100 miles away. I've decided to take the risk and go and see it. I'll have to take my 1989 Chevrolet Carprice (so much...

Doesn't sound too bad then. I checked the local paper today and there is a 2001 Freelander TD4 5 Door with 97,000 miles on the clock for £3,500. It looks in good condition from the picture but they can be deceiving. I'll give the person a phone and see what he/she says, and ask where...

The wife has always wanted a Freelander as she works as a home help, and a lot of her clients are little old ladies who live in cottages at the end of muddy lanes and such, so her 1991 Rover 827 SLi naturally sometimes gets stuck and I have to go and tow her out. I was just wondering if they...

I'll drop by Asda some time and get that cheap stuff then! Thanks.

Should I use in my 1980 Series lll 2.25 Petrol with around 100K on the engine ? It has been so long I can't remember what I used to use.

That was what I was thinking. I'll get it fixed up by the end of 2012, and that is a promise.

Your Landy is very nice SpringDon!

Oh, well it doesn't get any heavy work, just snow driving. My '94 Peugeot 405 1.9 Turbo Diesel (which I also bought new) does get heavy work though. It is constantly lugging things around on trailers and such, but it still looks good and runs great with over 300,000 miles on the clock...
