clbarclay:
Don't fool your self into thing its a Land rover thing.
I spent last week snowboarding, but on our way to France the alternator pully came lose on VW golf f*****g both pully and alternator. Of course it has to happen on saturday evening, so typically it would be monday before a new one could be sourced :roll: .

i think i can sympathise here
had a slight(!) leak on the transmission of my 4x4 and thought i would be ok till the weekend was over, hooked up my van and trundled off, got to milton keynes to see dad on way and the transmission was dry and very hot....
topped up and motored on to stainby, got some atf and a can of miracal leak stopper.... actually worked the level was steady all weekend site driving and then last night i was driving home and the 185 miles to get home took me 6 1/2 hours at 40 mph and 15 litres of atf....
i knew i should of either a) fixed it or b) got breakdown cover,
so she shall be in the shop for a few days...
still at least i had fun!!!!
still smiling even though i bent a few things!!!!
