I do not... and I mean do not want to sell it, but then neither do I want it rotting away and I will not be able to keep both on the road, Decisions Decisions.
I understand where you are coming from - for me the issues we have with our cars and those of the LR's, are not really issues at all.

I would say tho, that I have come across far more abused Freelanders than I have MG ZT's or 75's.
