Bishops Finger:
They are good.....just check for ball joint recalls..
lambert:
That and odd little electrical gremlins, but I can fix those myself. We will see what is said on Monday.

So it seems I'm a donkey and the 90 is my carroty stick to both entice and beat me with. Only problem donkeys tend to kick and bite if they don't like what is being done to them. Be careful daddy old boy I can kick harder than you.
lambert:
Ok all is good again for now anyway. Wednesday it is off in for the kind of in-depth,meaningful and generally thorough engine exam it was meant to have last month, compression,coolant pressure, road test etc etc. If that is not an epic fail then a top end rebuild and seal kit goes on and a new sh turbo. If no, bye bye. I hope it makes it as the alternate ending I like not so much.
Range Rover Blues:
If you are after something that can tow then remember that a LR is limited to 3,500kg by law rather than performance, the original RRC for example could tow 4 tonnes with coupled brakes, or 6 tonnes in emergency. The Defender is also rated at 4 tonnes with coupled brakes IIRC.
So if you hang your nose over something rated at below 3,500kg, how much worse might it actually be?
All cars break down, sad fact of life. I'm sticking with our TDi because it's starting to become the most reliable and cheap to run car we've had in recent years. Same MPG as a MX5 for example :shocked: yes, they are that bad, or only slightly worse than a 2.0 Mondeo. It's actually still worth what we paid for it and a new cyclinder head costs the same as one month's finance on a new microbox. Insewerance isn't that bad either, less than a micra for example.
