Unlikely, perhaps if I disconnect the return line.

I did look for engine leaks and did not see any. But I will most likely take you up on your offer. I just need to see if I can work something out with the owner. Thats just not true.

Not very often at all, but it would be nice. I dunno about lesbaru's man...just dont really care for the way they look. Are the drivetrain issues typically a result of poor maintenance/abuse or are they pretty much guaranteed to go bad?

Oh yeah, this one had an ABS light on...it sounds like that, at least this specific one, is not for me. I am fine with paying a bit more for parts as long as its not ridiculous and doesn't occur too often, but I will go look at some other ones and see what I can find, and check maintenance records.

Yeah, I like the inline 6 motors, the updated interior and the fact that they are reliable and parts are everywhere. I just cant justify spending that much on one since I'm not really into offroading that much, and im definitely not looking for something lifted. It's cool and all but just not what I want right now. For 6k I'd rather buy an Audi Just looking for something less than 3k, preferably around 2k.

Oh now that you find out its a ford its sweet? lol. Oh yea the freelander is more "girly", kinda like a jeep liberty. But that sounds about right from what the owner was telling me. The transmission was replaced, brakes have been replaced, rear diff too. He did say they had electrical issues.

Ha, funny this came up cause I just saw this on craigslist http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/1455343501.html

Interesting. You know it does have a ford motor in it. You admitting to something here? That a certain blue oval brand makes crap?

I thought about it, and look into it. Thats actually how I came across this land rover. The jeeps I like are more than what I'm willing to pay for one, ~$6000 range. I can get a $2000 jeep but they look rough, and the interior is very outdated, tons of miles...

This one just had the thermostat replaced. The guy was saying that they are square shaped which is...different. Any other experiences? Yeah, I am aware of their reputation, but I am also aware of other car's reputations, like german cars are fail, hondas last forever etc, and thats its not always true. It will probably be as much of a daily as my S4, just a bit more. But basically for things the S4 wont do and things I dont want the S4 to do like haul shit, drive in real deep snow, driving to shitty areas, roadtrips and a backup car when working on the S4.

Any on here, or someone who has had experiences with land rovers? I'm looking at a 1996 Land Rover Discovery as a daily driver. I've always liked the look of them, and I am definitely a fan of the Defenders, but dont know a lot about the discovery's. I looked at one tonight, mechanic owned, he recently replaced the rear end, socks, waterpump and a couple of other things. There are few things that concern me a bit. Main thing is the ebrake drum that sits on the drive shaft, it still works, but it makes noise when accelerating at first and then quites out, but makes noise again when decelerating. The owner told me that its a common problem on those, and even if replaced they still make noise so the best solution is to take them off. It needs a steering damper, power steering return line is leaking a bit and so is the transfer case. Those things dont sound too bad to fix or just ignore, or is that not the case on those? I just dont want this thing to take a shit on me or costing me a fortune. I know that its not cheapest DD but its what I'm looking for. Any input/advice will be appreciated from people who actually have knowledge about them. He's asking $2000 OBO so its the price range I'm looking at. I did look around on some forums, and they sound pretty reliable...nothing too major.

Hey Paul buy that Book!

Thats why you dont put boats on lifts. That does suck though.

ugh seriously? Think of it as a forum, myspace, facebook, twitter, IM, email, google all into one. Its open source, like your phone.

Seems like every time I drive from Powell Rd to 270 on Sawmill I end up wanting to murder someone. Speed limit is 45, people drive 35 in such a manner that it is impossible to pass anyone.

Amen to that

Who's heapsof and why does he have all the cool rides?

Havent gotten it yet, I did get this though WTF!? EDIT: Sweet got it, thanks!

+1 for Mellow Mushroom. Probably the best pizza you can buy while being served beer.

Mosh pit is what I play the most too. I've gotten 2 nukes and been nuked like 4 or 5 times already. When the game first came out I was getting 30+ killstreaks left and right for like the first week, with the highest being 41, it seems like its getting harder to do that now. I think its cause people started to know all the camp spots and just sit there with a heartbeat sensor and blast you when you walk by. I HATE that!

Worked at Marcus movie theatre as an usher/cashier, then I was an assistant manager at valvoline, and I was still in college when I got my current job.

I want one!
