As The Mad Hat Man and Dewin said - a genuine seller won't mind

My Missus was given a courtesy car recently with little fuel in it and they just said Oh there's a garage down the road.....which was closed. I say give it back as you found it - they charge enough for the work they do anyway.

Sorry!!! Very useful info thanks - seems my Flander is OK. I was worried cos after a drive I can't get the fan to come on. Engine bay is stinking hot too. Temp guage sits halfway. Spent ages checking it over and head scratching. Fans come on with a/c so knew they worked.

Hi, yes starting to find a few niggles.......

Hi All! My name is Adam and I have finally got a Landy - a freelander which I think may give me a few headaches ha ha. I'm in Woking Surrey and although I use the flander for the daily commute, I'm not going to be too precious over it and get off road at some point. Any way have read some...
