http://www.landrover.com/gb/en/lr/owners/c...ffsetting/



and even considered a good thing by Greenpeace:

"So, here goes, 10 good things about Land Rover ...

1. Most Land Rovers are civillian vehicles - only a minority are used to kill people deliberately.

2. The Land Rover Defender is actually quite a useful bit of kit in certain situations. This no more excuses the Range Rover Sport than Kylie excuses Dannii, or Jonathan excuses Paul, but credit where credit's due.

3. The All New Freelander 2 gets 1mpg more than the old one. An infitessimal improvement, but an improvement none the less.

4. Land Rover have launched a CO2 offset programme to balance the emissions produced in manufacture and they also offer offsetting packages to their customers. Offsetting isn't my favourite thing, of which more later, but at least they are trying and shouldn't be discouraged. Yay Land Rover!


5. They seem to have managed to restrain Geoff on the Defender, which still retains a modicum of dignity. Keep up the good work chaps!

6. They didn't produce the Hummer. It's nice to know that the yanks can still out-crass us.

7. They didn't assasinate Kennedy. I'm almost certain of it.

8. Erm,

9. Will this do?

10. Oh yes, I remember now. Land Rover have yet to join the new trend for building cars which manage to incorporate all of the destructive qualities of SUVs without actually looking like SUVs. At least with Land Rover you know where you stand - they look like gasguzzling monstrosities because that's what they are. I noticed a year or so ago that Nissan were producing a 4x4, the 'Murano', which had the body shape and styling of a sports hatchback, just alot bigger. There's a Murano at the show, but also two concept cars from Hyundai and Renault which appear to be moving in the same direction.

This concerns me. "

Very productive day!

Changed the exhaust as it had been flagged on the mot, took the bonnet off and checked the ribbing and sound proofing (anybody know a good replacement for OE under bonnet dampening?) Changed the master slave cylinder and bled the clutch.

Also cold chiselled off the very dead screws holding the rear threshold strip down as some of them had rusted through and caused the threshold to bend up and make shutting the rear door a pain in the rear. Cut 5mm off one end of the strip and moved it over so I could re-drill the new holes for some nice stainless steel screws and job done!

660 miles back from the Alps towing the bikes (cheating really, but it rained a lot so quite thankful we had a car as well as the bikes). Also ended up driving up a few of the Pistes we skied down during the winter - that's weird!
