When to give up on your landy?

[Chris Sheppard]

I think sometimes you just need to get through the pain barrier. You keep chucking money until suddenly you get another 5 years of cheap motoring. But thats assuming its not all nackered and hanging. 100k on the clock is ok 200k let someone else own it. I used to buy range rovers and disco people had spent 3k on and given up another £500 and we used to use them for another 40,000 miles towing then sell on. I dont seem to get the time or interest now to go looking for fresh toys.

 

Sort of similar, I used to buy £4-600 discoveries with as much MOT on them as could find and run them til the test ran out (or it died) - if they didn't re-test then they'd still fetch £500 on ebay. That was cheap motoring most of the time but you win some you lose some.

The splines are indexed so assuming you have had it apart you can't put the prop back together wrong.

HI TREE I'm told that when a prop comes off just mark it at each end to keep in line but then thats what I'm told nr the bolt holes in the prop so it in the same place jon

I have had more that a few props off and on and I have yet to see one run out at the flanges, no harm in putting it back as was but it shouldn't make a difference if the flanges are all in order.
