Can't complain, she is the one who wants me to buy a 90 to run along side the 110 so she can drive it - she finds the 110 a bit of a handful Thumbs Up

Just got to find her one now, the way the search is going I may just have to buy a new one Whistle

Nice at least you have some more local dealers near you Taunton, Yeovil and Matfords. The latter is where mine came from Mr. Green

I use Yeovil, 100 metres from the office and they are always helpful and don't mind me crawling under the Defenders in the showroom to check something I am not sure of Thumbs Up

I too have to sing the praises of my wife. She has been in Scouting for over 30 years now and in her previous life owned a SII and III for towing a caravan when her lads were young.

Despite encouraging me to dispose of my 300tdi Disco when we first met, (she loved driving it but it spun a cam follower which in turn stopped the cam shaft dead, that was a £1500 tob end rebuild, but I think the oil galleries were not cleared out so 12 months later when no7 tappit would not screw down any further an autopsy showed it had eaten 3 lobes off the brand new cam in 10K we decided to fix and sell), and buying a new car instead.

However as I have explained before she first let me buy back my 80" then after RTVing it last year relented and let me ditch the car for my luvverly 110 XS.

In which she has incidentally gone off to work in this very evening.

Luv her lots.

My wife's been membership secretary for two national LR clubs and we're regional reps for another at the moment. She also helps run the LR section at the annual Ardingly Vintage and Classic Vehicle Show.
