I don't say much on this forum, just spend a lot of time lurking, soaking in Landy information from the unbelievable amount of knowledge that lives here.
I've loved my '96 discovery from the second I bought her, she's taken me on holidays, up impossible tracks, over massive sand dunes, through endless bog holes and reliably to and from my work very rarely skipping a beat. Whenever anything went wrong (let's face it; she is a Land Rover) I scoured this site for a cure, usually coming away happy. When her engine got tired I read through all the information on here and - based on other peoples' experiences - ended up building up an awesome 4.6L. Probably the best mod I've ever done to any car.
Unfortunately workload - and an expense paid company car - have meant that she pretty much spends most of her time in the garage, looking at me whenever I venture in and making me feel guilty; I haven't had her on a track for over 9 months and haven't even managed to put 10,000km on the new engine.
Anyway, my point is that I've decided to sell her so she's not wasted any more. Landies are made for bush, sand and mud, not garages. Still brings a tear to my eye though.
I just wanted to thank all the people on here that have guided me - albeit unknowingly - through building and looking after her. This is a great forum you have here guys, make sure you keep it the way it is.
