    Hedge Hopper

    For the longest time I'd been used to being carted around in a Discovery 2. I enjoyed it because of how tall it was which meant I never felt ill while riding around, front or back.

    Wisping noise

    Hi We have a 05 TD4 Freelander and all of a sudden the engine is making a wisping noise when accelerating - i gather this is turbo related - does it indicate impending failure or just blocked/broke pipes? I've noticed when accelerating the power drops off a little if the accelerator is...
