Your Land Rover idiosyncrasies/facts....
« on: September 15, 2005, 21:33:21 »
Things I have recently found out about my Land Rovers:

My Series 2...

:shock: - Fuel tank leaks when filled to Brim
:shock: - Costs Blinkin loads driving to work and back
:shock: - Standard little mirrors are 'interesting' in use
:? - People think I'm driving my dads car
:shock: - Stopping distances are interesting  
:shock: - Gets some Funny Looks driving down M6 motorway into Brum (at 55mph)
:D - Parabolics actually make it quite comfortable

My 110".....

:shock: - Has two cracked pistons
:shock: - Has four cracked hotspots
:shock: - Poor running was caused by leaking diaphram in injector pump.... found after buying new injectors and a turbo (needed changing anyway)  
:shock: - Engine is currently in bits (Hence why I'm driving the Series 2 more)  

My 90"....

- Still in bits - must put back together!!!! :shock:  :wink:


Arghh....The joys of Land Rover Ownership  :wink:

Don't you just love'em !!!!

Np prob Dazza, LPG 32p/litre :lol:   Oour 3.9 costs less than a Mondeo to run now and little more than either the Fiesta or Diesel Micra.  Parts are cheaper too.
