Now coming up to the ripe old age of 61 in December Tilly has no plans whatever to retire and still has to earn her keep.

She does a few weddings every year to pay her way. This year I asked one of the photographers if she could send me some pictures, which she kindly did. Hope you enjoy them

and you think rovers are expensive and troublesome? you have no idea however i know of a fetching green 3.9 vogue SE which means it has full leather lots of gadgets some that work some that don't, guy wants £600 if i recall however bearing in mind it needs about £500 worth of work doing for the mot you'd probably get it for £300. let me know if you're interested i'll pass the details.. only reason i didn't go for it is because mrs wylie would be feeding my dangly bits to the dog if i buy any more motorsCHR15E wrote:I've always fancied a classic Range Rover for some reason.

HGF isn't unheard of on the Rover V8 lump, but I'd certainly not put it down as something particularly common. Terminal rust, on the other hand...neo wrote:most of them John are off the road with blown headgaskets
Loads of classic Rangies left around here, but that's probably because I live in the middle of nowhere surrounded by farmers.

It's a huge problem on the 4.2 litre engine which, like the 1.8 litre K4, was bored out way past the comfort zone (3.9 is as far as the V8 should have gone).Foxy wrote:HGF isn't unheard of on the Rover V8 lump, but I'd certainly not put it down as something particularly common.
