Went out today to Farsley near Rodley to go to the Chemist to get a prescription with Helen she bought her tablets and on the way back i bought this Land rover Free lander its 2litre BMW diesel engine which i was not aware of and its in in metallic black i have always wanted a black car it has only 32,000 miles on the clock and a full 12months M.O.T and 12 months road tax and i have to say it looks totally wicked for £5995 which is a good price for this model of car in this condition the picture makes the bodywork look scratched it is not its in mint condition inside and out including tyres.
I prefer this car and will get a greater buzz owning it then when i got the Citroen C2 and that was a brand new car with delivery miles only on the clock this car looks and feels right.Although i wish it had a CD it has a cassette deck which will hook my i-pod up to and use this method instead of playing cd discs and having Cd's scattered everywhere.

I was happy when i got the Laguna thank you Mick it has got us out and about to places we couldn't have got to and its been a godsend but its M.O.T is due this month , i do think it would pass maybe one tyre is questionable and the breaks are squeaking sometimes and it does keep cutting out when setting off when the engine is cold and has been stood for a while , to fix this i have been told it needs putting on the computer at Renault to set the engine management system up correctly which would cost x amount of money.

The average mpg for the free lander is 35 miles a gallon which should be cheaper on fuel than the Laguna which will help finance it partly i have other savings i am making so it should more or less be self funding .
I pick it up next Friday and i have already insured fully comp the documents should reach me in time they are faxing copies to the garage i have bought the car from just in case , the insurance which is costing not that much more money than what the Laguna cost me for third party fire and theft.
Went on walk about with Penny she still not 100% behaved when on put a lead until she gets tired then walks as she should do she attacks her lead and is sometimes afraid and cowers when strangers approach her direction.
