CMB Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I presume the Landy was manual? I've never driven an automatic. I suppose it leaves your left hand free to swipe any rowdy kids in the back or eat a Dangerous Dave burger?... \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 :D .. it was indeed a manual.... on it's second clutch and having only covered 31K miles :D I'll tell Dangerous Dave he's had another mention on here... it puts a smile on his little chubby cheeks when I tell him he's famous on FTF :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Looking nice Mark. Black is a lovely colour if kept clean but it will need a wash at least weekly. I hope you have bought Mrs F a good supply of "marigolds" as well ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexMF Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 i assume it's the denver max LE? seems very well spec'd as for the grill, if it were mine i'd replace the mesh with some Audi style honeycomb, then go from there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Thanks Billiam... and Alex... yes it is an LE mate... tell me more about this Audi grill .. any pictures This could turn into Pimp my ride if we are not careful :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Looking nice Mark. Black is a lovely colour if kept clean but it will need a wash at least weekly. nope hes got a cheaper easier way to clean that lumpy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 But he surely Marky has to pay Lumpy to do that Sean...unless the said Lumpy is a company man and comes in at weekends to do such things in his own time \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey123 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 hubba hubba take it you can remove the back off of it if you want ? like we could on our old one ? please say it's got power drive though lord F ,(it's a button on the left of the steering wheel that has a P on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Surprised it is not a Hummer ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Surprised it is not a Hummer ;D So am I now you mention it :D ... oh well there is always the BMW to change next hubba hubba take it you can remove the back off of it if you want ? like we could on our old one ? please say it's got power drive though lord F ,(it's a button on the left of the steering wheel that has a P on it) It's got a power drive button Mark... but it's on the floor by the gear selector now mate... doesn't seem to make a great deal of difference though in all honesty.. other than make it rev for England \ .. I suspect it would be more useful when towing a 3t load perhaps (increase the revs to change up less often). And yes the back does come off if you so desire buddy Brief update... 880ish miles so far.. no problems and I am VERY impressed with it at the moment I must say.. a HUGE improvement over the old Landrover Defender.. it's in for its 1000 mle check up and oil change tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 How's the fuel economy Mark? Well I won't tell a lie Chris.. not great mate in all honesty... it's reporting about 23mpg... which I suspect is about right, if not a little on the high side .. I'm hoping she'll improve as the engine loosens up a little :'( very nice Mark!!, will i see 'Dealer D' down Tesco tomorrow night!!! ;D come on, time for the BMW to go, you know you want to!!
