Greetings from North Dorset

Yes and it was the Brookmeister here who got me driving Nissans and very glad too.

I won't have further Landrovers. No more worrying if the rattle that suddenly stopped was only because a bit had fallen off.

HERETIC !!!

Nope, realist,

Land Rover = once a month lying on a freezing gravel driveway beating a rusted part with a hammer then £300 lighter it's back on the road for a few days before the next failure.

Nissan = 100k miles and one sticky caliper

I have a little experience of 4x4's and I know it's not popular but the best 4x4x far has Nissan on the front and Patrol back

You forgot the comedy home by sunset headlights that LR fitted and the anti rust treatment where it dumps it's oil all over itself yet they still fall appart

Glad your still enjoying the premium Japanese build quality and reliability

Welcome to the forum.

Everyone should own an old Landrover at some stage of their lives, it is a bit like everyone should own an elderly Lee Enfield or Mosin Nagant somewhere along the line.

Well I own a Lee Enfield number 4 which is a keeper so far as I'm concerned and on that we can agree.

I did at one stage love my Landrovers. They certainly taught me a lot including mechanics, welding, thrift, importance of fuel economy etc. and kept me from any chance of a speeding fine for a good while.

I still have a 2.25 petrol engine in the barn and a roof rack and ladder for a LWB and a radiator and a spare wheel centre, maybe a steering wheel too. There are still little rust piles in the corners of my barn and the oil stains too, so it's like she never left.

As I say I'm keeping the No.4!
