  1. Thanks all, it is for a bit of fun and as predicted I went for the V8. It needs some work, but the seller was genuine and it as stacks of history. Just driven it home 70 miles and it drove perfectly!
  2. Brilliant, thanks for your advice! I won’t be doing much mileage, so fuel isn’t a concern.
  3. Shooting forum maybe, but I’m making the assumption that most shooters drive a car and maybe some of those cars might be Land Rovers. Also, 90 thousand posts suggest maybe there is an interest in discussing cars. I do know about Defenders and newer range rovers, but know nothing about classics, so was looking for some feedback from people that have actually owned one. Do you have any practical/helpful advice, or should I just go to another forum?
  4. Thanks chaps! Fortunately I have a decent mechanic that knows Land Rovers and is very reasonably priced.
  5. Cheers! I have the 4.4 V8 in my ranger rover and a Td5 Defender, and love them both, but really fancy a classic. The V8 I am looking at is solid and has stacks of history, it just needs the paint sorting. Also has an MOT with no advisories. It’s owned by a Landrover specialist. I will drive them both and see what I think, but I do think I will prefer the V8.
  6. Nonsense! Still the best make out there. I’ve owned 6 in the last 13 years. I keep on top of the maintenance and they’ve been as good as gold. Thanks! The guy has 2, a very tidy tdi manual with brilliant history and a V8 auto also with good history but quite shabby.
  7. Evening all! I really fancy buying a Range Rover classic and am looking for advice on models and what to look out for. I am not a car expert, but I’m a big Land Rover fan. I currently have an L322 and a Defender. I am going to look at a 1992 200tdi Vogue, so would appreciate any thoughts and tips. Cheers!
  8. Thanks all! Whilst it will be my first spaniel, it’s not my first working dog. I’m not looking for a trialling dog, but I am looking for a pup from working parents and proof of that. There seems to be quite a few out there that don’t actually work or are being bred quite young. That is not for me
  9. Evening all! I’m thinking about getting a cocker pup next year, and will be looking for a red dog with a stocky build. I mostly do walked up, with a bit of driven and some wildfowling. I haven’t had a spaniel before, as I have a lab and a working Goldie and think a cocker would be great for where I live. Can anyone suggest where I should start looking please? Thanks!
  10. Join the Findhorn bay Wildfowlers group on Facebook. They are a helpful bunch. I was looking to shoot up there earlier on this year, but after all the stories I heard, I gave it a miss.
