Topgunners Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 We set off on Sunday nice & early (7.30am) and had got 10 miles from kelmarsh and my jeep engine blew up in the fast lane and we then had to wait for 1 1/2 hrs for a towtruck to take us all the way back home. And then nicked my mate's missus's car and promptly drove all the way back. Had a great day out in the sunshine and spent LOADS as usual. But no ISUZU ENGINES FOR SALE OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gutted Any body know of or can recommend a garage in my area that ain't gonna rip me off for a repair.?;) Dave K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Pavman, Just think though when Highlanders Merc is as old as your Defender it will be a pile of rust And it will cost him a damn sight more than £500 to get it through the MOT. And you could do the work on yours without the need for a main dealer. Landies all the time The BEST 4 X 4 By far. Everything else is mearly an imitation Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else is mearly an imitation Cheers Martin Mart Thats about right Highlanders Merc was £35000 the landi was £3500 its 16 years old so I guess the old girl is due a little TLC from time to time, H spends more on polish than I spend on a service! pavman, feeling a little better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 £35000 My house was only slightly more than that. I wouldn't be taking a £35000 car shooting, or anywhere else for that matter. In 10 years time his merc will be worth £3500, but so will your landie. See you next monday at Glemham Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good mate has a Landie and he refers to it as his "cash cow" 'cause he's always spending money on it.
