Great read and good to hear of success! It's amazing what previous owners can do...... Cheers, A

ISTR Land Rover had some guidance, will see if I can find it. A

So this poll has become 'who can con together the most votes from folk who have never been there' rather than the 'top visitor attraction' - brilliant! Oh well it's a free country - sort of.... A

They are a very friendly and knowledgable bunch - competitive and good advice on price/quality balance. On occasions I've been known to have my own seat at the parts counter and a mug of tea thrust my way.....! (touch wood not had that many failures / needs for a while.....!). A

Any dealer should tell you, Customer Service answer seems cobblers, or SMMT website has all recalls listed.......certainly no conspiracy! A

No - I think most of the thinking public see these Apps and black boxes for the gross intrusion that they are. I too suspect they will be 'mandated' in our own interests of course over a fairly short period. Dash cams (with movement triggers and incident loops) voluntarily fitted seem to have...

Mine def has one wide 'key' spline which will only fit in one place (in the matching wide slot!) so idiot proof - just as well with me anywhere near it.... A

Errrrr.......TATA already own all of Jaguar Land Rover......... Cheers, A

Fwiw I like the older second one better. And more than a bit cheeky giving the impression the new one comes packaged from Lode Lane - wot a nerve..! A

+1 - it will be firing on 3 cylinders which aint going to be smooth..... Had 2 duff glow plugs on my TD5 a while back, simple to check and replace and major improvement on pre-heat and starting. Enjoy. A

Errmmmm.......dare I mention its the Consumer Rights Act 2015 now, and quite detailed rejection repair changes........ Just sayin'.... Seller should certainly be first port of call, but an RAC warranty is probably worth more to back up any repairs that are covered... Cheers, A

Always great to see the full story and stow it away for when mine does the same (almost certain some time!) - good news and thx all for posting. A

Yep, every opportunity! Spent a happy weekend at the Warwickshire Scout jamboree thing last Summer with 5 or 6 of us reckon we trugged about 300 kids round a gentle off road course.... As for safety......endless hours as a small kid with 4 or 5 of us loose in the back of a mini pickup round...

Mr. Gilmore deserves a gold star - now that is a civil servant well worth having imho. Great post thanks, A

???? I thought they just kicked straight in with hot air blowing? Serious question cos I was starting to look at fitting one....? A

Nothing dearer to my heart, but I let them ride motorbikes, horses, and skydive, cycle, cross the road...... Boy do I drive carefully, but never a moment doubt about sitting them in there. Each to their own as I said... Cheers A

My 5 children from very early ages have traveled in the side facing seats of a series of 110 Csw's, and oddly not killed or injured any of them yet...... I entirely agree lap belts and side facing are not at all ideal from a safety and injury perspective, but we do a variety of other pastimes...

By the time new Def arrives she'll have worn out an Evoque so get one of them for now....! A

As said have a search around for threads on suppliers and cost. For all sorts of daft reasons I went for a LR genuine Xmember, needed long 'legs' to address rusted chassis rails too, and had little choice of fitter (won't be going back....their prep was awful, with masses of rust on 1 year old...

I had a 'factory' rebuilt LT77 box on a previous Defender (crumbling first gear or some such, can't remember now), but I was warned it would be stiff for a few hundred miles........ Ye Gods! Stiff! It was a major workout to get ready for each change and a good long breather afterwards - but...
