Time to say Goodbye
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for advice and chat over the past decade. I have saved hundreds of pounds with help and tips on this site. Sadly my 05 D3HSE has an appointment with the scrap man tomorrow. It has served me well and even with all the pit falls of owning Land Rover I have enjoyed the experience. Probably won't get another one though! Blown head gasket after overheating along with various electrical gremlins has pushed her beyond economical repair.
Thanks again
