Birmingham about 4 mins from the M6.

Not a lot TBH. I want to cover my VCU cost. I really don't know what it is worth.

You've got me there and I don't know the answer.

Sadly the time has come to part with my X reg 2000 Freelander . I am not sure what she is worth though I spent a few hundred recently on the VCU. She has lots of service history and has been regularly serviced. I personally think she is in nice condition in Alveston red and the interior is...

But if it meant you could disengage the rear wheels surely it would reduce wear to the VCU. Also would it not mean that by running in 2 wheel there would be a slight saving on petrol. I'd need convincing that, apart from the cost, it would not be a great solution.

Now that is the stance every FL should have............lovely. Perfect for kerbs and car parks.

I like the Kalahari since I saw one in yellow with the back off and targa off so the rear window is a "quirk" I would put up with but if they did not make the Kalahari I doubt I'd get an FL.

It is one of the reasons I like motors that are higher as they usually come with superb clearance. Having said that being high up is not dependent on ground clearance. I like clearance and height. I just fitted an exhaust rear muffler to my Paj today and got to it by just getting under it. Also...
