I doubt they will Steve.

Yes I was and No I'm not, he should have made it clearer - for example.... "have you looked at the crock of **** thread in the general section? something in there may help you out."

Thi biggest issue with a landrover other than rust/rot/corrosion, is wiring. For the price of a night of passion with a top bit of totty, you can buy a complete loom. Thats what I'd do.

If you feel that strongly about it, why not ask for it to be moved instead of bitching about people helping others out - especially on topic where lives could be at risk.

Thats what he said was going to happen - contact the dealer and the mot station and "put his case across" on why he should get his money back.

Quite so BUT, after such a short time, the amount of faults and rot in this vehicle should have been picked up on the test.

The trouble is, he's had it a few weeks, he put his car in with cash and has already bought a new set of tyres - to replace the original ones that should have also failed an MOT if the spare is anything to go by.

The poor unfortunate owner of this disco came over last night to show me the job - nice guy, not a nice car. The car was bought from a car lot and MOT'd in April. This rot all round both rear body mounts, boot floor (within 8" of the seat belt mounts), sills and on the chassis by the rear...

I've just seen a whole lot worse on another forum members car - but don't be too smug until you've taken the sill covers off.

I can help you out, I'm only in Eccles so not a million miles away. PM me your number and we can have a chat.

Again, fair points made for both sides (ok 1 is extreme but hey!). Still undecided, maybe go on some more trips and see how things go for now. Mike

I thought I'd get good and interesting replies. I do see most of the points made being right in their own way but the idea behind having a strop fastened to the front and rear when you go green laning to me is just common sence because you never know what you might meet on the way. The reason I...

I realise this will be a touchy subject for some but here goes..... I've got a '96 disco that looks like it's had a bull bar on at some point and I'm thinking of putting an original looking one back on with recovery points and it'll be a good spot to wrap the strops to when I go green...

Thats a good price, I wish I'd have known ....saved me from westenders and emerdale street i suppose.

I've done mine recently, I can come and have a look at it for you (no charge). Mike
