At the risk of being cold hearted.
You've got a 4WD with with a knackered transmission and a flaky engine, but it has great bodywork. Have I missed something here? At some stage you need to take a deep breath and make a decision from your head and not your heart, or somewhere lower!

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

The Walrus and The Carpenter, Lewis Carroll
(from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872)

Unfortunately, when pigs fly your FreeLander will be a good reliable 4WD that is economical to run and a joy to own.

Have a think about trading it in on a Disco, before it's too late.

Not trying to be hard here, but I think you need to bite the bullet.

No mate, you are not missing anything, I read you loud and clear, the motor has had a major rebuild before I bought it, so I would expect some service out of it yet, the make or break will be the cost of a transmission rebuild, the results of that will determine the fate of the vehicle. It really boils down to the cost of the rebuild. Body is great as you mentioned, engine is as new and runs great, so my wife and I have descisions to make in the next week or two.

I had noticed that AUS,& to be realy honest i thought i would of been laught off the site with tail between me legs & even more embarrest...Then i thought well i mite get a reply or two & that would be the end of it..
The surport of everyone is so incredible & overwhelming & has helped me so much i cant even begin to tell use how much..I am more relaxed happier ,& interacting more with the kids i now go out in the yard & throw the footy around with cody & doing more with fred (cayla) Karen & i are getting on even beter than before..I said in an earlier post that i was going to use this thread as a diary ,witch i have & when i get down or have a bad day i go back to page 1 & read all that i have done & the encourigment i have received & it picks me up like nothing else, & i thought no one would be interested in reading it as it is a little dumb that what i have done is so little to most people it is such a HUGE thing for me..
I am having the time of my life with this thread & site in general..like i said happier,relaxed,wanting to try & do things is awesome for me.
I now have to find a goal to work towards ,something that is acheavable to me ... i realy want to get to be able to take the kids camping even if its only overnight,its just the getting there bit that frightens me, i dont want to tell the kids we going camping & then get halfway there & then panic & have to come home...i think thats a bit much to ask just yet but that is my big goal for one day..
And i realy want to be able to meet some people off the site eventualy & shake hands & say G'day..
I have had a couple of people text me & i texted them back witch is as awesome as anything as i can chat with someone other than Karen..
We had to deliver the papers this mornin as they came in late yesterday & i was feelin crap & didnt want to go do it but i pushed threw & got it done. if it had been a day like that before being open on here i would of just stayed at home & karen would have to do it on her own so i try harder to push threw now & make an effort..its working slowly..
I am just happy to have people to talk to me .i get excited to see an email to say that there is a reply to my post how dumb is that it is a learning cerve for me & i like it...
I'm happy to know people are interested enuff just to keep reading it all..



THANX
Jason & Karen..
