Hi all, I am moving to Belgium from Ireland in a couple of weeks and have a box of mixed LR Spares (D1, D2, Freelander 1&2)I f anyone wants to buy them as a job lot I will be donating the proceeds to the animal shelter that managed to rehome our two cats. I’m based in Kerry but just a 90 min...

I am living in Kerry, Ireland until mid May then moving to Belgium. D2 : water hose, air filter, front prop shaft, fan belt, fan bolt spanner, new (old stock) air suspension pump, roof cross bars. Height sensor. Linkages. D1 : rear boot load mat Freeland 2 : fuel filter, oil filter, air filter...

I’m late to the party….Has this gone?

Hi there, just checking if you are still in France?

I am claiming against the insurance of a local garage as the owner has now retired.

We have had to leave it at the Land Rover Garage as it is undriveable'- so in their official parkimg area. Charges are €35 per day and it has now been there over two years...with probably another year of legal procedures. We are not responsible for parking fees as the 'expert' has already...

...an update Still ongoing with parking fees alone at €30,000+, yes, you read that correctly. Now going 'full-on' with it going to court. Fortunately the experts have all been in our favour so we should get all our legal fees back along with a hefty payout, FFKS, what a palaver, with us having...

Been sat in my Barn for the last few years since I swapped for continental lights and now I am without a Freelander. Postage from France and £30the pair - is that reasonable? PM if you are interested.

If all goes to plan I will buy something in Ireland and sell the TD5 (RHD) here in France - plenty of Hunters who want a 4x4 regardless of the wheel being in the wrong place ... However, I'm not sure how having an Irish Plated vehicle would work if I chose to use it in France/Europe for maybe...

We all presume you haven't tried using the emergency key option in the door?

I have 'Air' and I don't notice any real 'luxury'. All I have noticed is when it fails it's a very bumpy ride home to get it fixed: sensors, fuse, airbags, pump, air lines, brass connector blocks. It's a bugger to tow when/if the damn thing fails.

:D We 'all' have issues ... I understand fully where you are coming from. Writing some bull****e banter on a forum is never the best way to convey a message. What I can relay is the last time I went to Ireland (last Autumn) even the English agent at the car hire company was telling me about...

There are no pitfalls in my original post :) I don't have the same issues as you, it would seem. I don't 'feel' any sense of patriotism either way so I am not English, British or any 'ish' on the list. What I am is an old(er) geezer bimbling through life trying to keep his damn 'annoying piece...

Nope, that analogy still not working for me ;) However, using that particular analogy the French would probably take the cheese away and come back with the same cheese and present it as German, they are Irish after all :p. What I have learned in life is people are generally the same the world...

Thanks for the link! Not quite sure why you advise on verbal skills but no doubt I will find out when I'm over there again...
