Thanks again for the replies all, they're much appreciated. I didn't get chance to go see it this weekend unfortunately - hopefully next weekend if it's still there.

Thanks folks. i did question the chassis/bulkhead, and was assured all was solid and waxoyled (which can obviously hide a multitude of sins). I've seen Series IIIs go for such a range of prices that I wasn't sure if this was about right or not.

OK that's fair enough - this is the one here - 1975 Land Rover Series 3 S.W.B | eBay Any thoughts/comments appreciated :)

Thanks again. I'm pretty sure it has inertia belts so that should be ok. What's the forum policy regarding posting links to EBay auctions? I'd post a link to the one I'm going to look at but I wasnt sure how that would sit.

Thanks for the replies all :) The only thing putting me off is the fuel consumption, but the commute is less than I'm used to (we've just moved house) so I might not even notice it. Another thing - can a child seat fit in the front? How much would you expect to pay for a solid Series 3 with...

Ta very much for the replies. 5 miles isn't much admittedly, but as I mentioned Land Rovers are unchartered territory for me :D I don't think it has an overdrive. I'm also assuming that the 2.25 petrol engines will need an additive if there's been no head modification?

Hullo all, I've been looking at a Series 3 2.25 petrol as a daily to get back and to 5 miles to work, and to cart some stuff about for the house we've just bought. Would a series 3 be up to that job? I've seen one on EBay not too far away from me in Chester that doesn't seem too bad a price and...

Thanks very much for the replies so far folks :) The engine was replaced at less than 9000 miles from new, not 9000 miles ago - sorry, should have worded that a bit clearer! The Freelander wouldnt be my first choice, but it looked like a bit of a bargain on first glance. I know the owner too...

Hullo all, I'm hoping some of you can offer a hapless fool some advice on a Freelander I have been offered. Its a 2001, 1.8 with the K series lump in it. Its got just shy of 97000 miles on it with a full service history - it also had a recon engine at less than 9000 miles due to a head gasket...

Hello. Imposter? I'm lost.

Hullo folks, I'm looking for a Land Rover to use as my daily, but I've never had one before. Just sold my motorbike so I'm scouring for sale ads, EBay etc. But ... I like the look of the Series models, although I'm wondering if they'd be practical for 30 miles every day to work and back? No...

Hullo all, I'm Oddie from near Chester. I'm on the lookout for a Land Rover after just selling my motorbike. Nice to make your acquaintance :)
