Back in an FL2!

With my Disco 3 is about to come off the road for a full on rebuild, I needed something green oval to run around in, which can then double up as a courtesy car for my customers once I'm done with it

Ended up with this Thumbs Up







A smidge over my 6k budget, but a decent buy.

Did need discs and pads all round, handbrake expanders were seized, needed a damn good service and 2 rear tyres, but you don't buy a cheap (relatively) car and expect it to need no work Whistle

MOT on Tuesday, then a remap Twisted Evil

Failed it’s MOT Sad

In the last 4 hours, it seems a door latch has stopped working. Which is odd, as it worked this afternoon, and I never locked it when I dropped it off Laughing

The actual failure was that the door wouldn't open from the outside...
