Well I parted with my old Jeep Grand Cherokee WK1 after 5 years of ownership earlier this year - I now drive a used FWD Volvo XC40 2.0 B4 MPHV. The Missus still has the Freelander S2 Auto that replaced her Jeep WJ - it's only let us down once when it would not start on the driveway - turned out to be a faulty sytarter motor solenoid.

We still have fond memories of our Nissan 2.7 diesel r3mR - it was up for sale a while back in Liverpool - looked as if it has had some tlc by the last couple of owners.

Hi nice to see you are still about, I have a few bit to attend to on my trusty Patrol, clutch has given up after 170k front disks and pads after Slindon mud and VE pump problems as well as needing some TLC to rear wings, some extra stiffening steel will be going in, Rick

Due to a slight delay in picking up my V60 they lent me a 2023 XC40 recharge. Lovely car to drive and if it had a bigger boot I probable would have kept it. Due to going abroad regularly I need a full size spare wheel instead of the gunk and compressor. With the battery in the spare wheel compartment there is just no space left. Great shame, because it was a lovely car.
