Don’t be embarrassed, as I think I mentioned my neighbours 19reg RR that they’ve had new, has had the dealer called out for non starting  at least three times that I know of. 

Situation normal for a Land Rover product!

Black with white leather would have been easy, No I flew up to Scotland to get the only one I could find in the uk in blue with tan leather.

Marital communications yet?

Now you all know the horrible truth, I guess the mods will devise some punishment for my poor taste in cars!

I was going to show up in the not too distant future as it is now my No.1 tow car.

Are you still looking for a 1980s cassette player or has @Tadhg Tiogar fulfilled your needs? Can check out the parent’s garage holding my spare part store on Sunday.

@Tadhg Tiogar came to see me last weekend with the Alpine unit so that solves my immediate problem.

I used to have a selection of radio cassettes but they have been used so I would be happy to hold another one for future needs. If you want to hold onto yours that is fine, if you want it out of your parents garage I would be pleased to receive it.

Just speaking to them as I spotted an armed robbery on Facebook 100m from their house! Police knocked a motorbike over in the road and shots  fired. It used to be such a posh area! I’ll look for the radio, I am sure I know th box it’s in.

Do you think I should get a sticker made up for it "MY other car is a Citroen Visa"

Posted

You know there's a modern forum just for things like this? I mean of course it's going to be very reliable, and you made sure it came with a good warranty as that's the sensible way to start a decade of ownership. 

(I'm sure @brownnova can make the modern forum vanish to Mrs 6c so you can be truthful as ownership progresses...)

I'm sure @Mrs6C will soon be backing it down a slipway up to the rear door handles to drop the boat off, does the anti corrosion warranty cover that?

Up to the door handle is water seems to be normal water level on roads at the moment.
