Re: Land Rover Advice......Please help!
The more I think about this the more it actually upsets me. Perhaps it's just me, but I don't feel that it's fitting for the founding father of the forum to be exchanging his Lux for a LR. I cannot believe Pieter would be doing something like this! Mark, are you sure that he said he wants to replace the Hilux, or just buy a LR while keeping the Lux, which is bad enough but still palatable.

Re: Land Rover Advice......Please help!
Mark it is Yzerfontein not Ysterfontein.
Ja, you know it is hard being a beach bum and having nothing to do all day.
So I thought of getting this Landy so at least I will have something to do all day. The wife is also nagging me to do the washing and stuff instead of playing on the forum all day, so with the Landy at least I can lie under the vehicle all day, whether I am busy fixing oil leaks or not or just having a snooze, won't matter at least she will be off my back.
So if you look at my current circumstances at this stage of my life a Landy will suit me better.

Pieter just make sure you get some of that new colour-coded oil, the same colour as your paving so that the oil leaks dont show.
