An update on team Army Landrovers

Stuart - I'll happily nip over to Farnham for you. I can do tomorrow evening. Warning though - I'm a Mitsu person. I'll also call Tony AA in the morning to see what he's up to. Whatever if you contact the Farnham seller to get the details and let him/her know someone will visit early tomorrow evening.

That would be great Keith I will get in touch with them and pm you details. In your infinite wisdom is there anyone friendly in the region of the other one.

Hi Stuart I can pop round and have a look at the the one in Farnham get the contact details and I should be able to look at sometime the morrow!!! It only 10mins down the road.

Sorry just seen Keiths post I can always pick him up just incase his Mitsi wont start.
We can give you a call whilst there

any news? our fingers are crossed

We are sending out investigation teams to look at prospective vehicles. Fingers crossed.

Hi Stuart i work not to far away from Farnham at Lasham. If you want i could try and have a look tonight.

Tony and Keith have volunteered but I'm sure you could go mob handed and scare the guy into reducing the price

Spoken with Tony and it looks as if he can get there today - he is on a late shift so it will be midday-ish. Tony has the guy's contact details

Ross - if Tony can't get there I can do this evening. If you don't mind, in view of your LR knowledge, I'll contact you and ask you to go as well.

Either way it looks as if the bases are covered.

Normally, when I go to view a motor, I spend some time looking for rust, I think in the case of looking at a green oval thing, you would spend time looking for good metal

Thanks guys the whole "all hands to the pumps" attitude is what has stopped us giving up a long time ago.

Hi Keith Thats ok for me. Just give me a call. I will be at Lasham until 1800hrs. So if i dont hear anything i will make my way home.

Phew, glad someone else has offered as I'm in Sandhurst so fairly near, but all i'd be able to tell you is if its a nice colour or not!!!!!!!!!!

good luck!

well we have just looked at the one in Farnham and declined it. I think it should have been dumped in a local canal It needed alot of work for the rally and whilst it had lots of toys on it. I wouldnt like to buy it for someones else Helens face and comments were spot on as soon as we got out of the Mondeo!
I'm sure we can find something!

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone from doon sooth who are helping out.............I've already done an emergency run to Ipswitch with Gareth to pick up the Disco which went swimming and would be pushng it to fit another in!

I'll help Stuart get the beers in for you!

I might be able to squeeeeeeeze in a small dram!!!

Hi Guys i have just been looking on the southern auto trader web site and there is loads of disco's on there. They are only standard versions but i think that would do you and give you something that hasn't been messed about with. Take a look, my search was landrover discovery with diesel engine under £3000

Ok, that’s keep going we still have time to sort this out , I will need some help with this from any ebayers, I had the idea for the autojumble next Sunday 12th to email everyone on ebay who is selling a Land Rover and any other 4x4 in the south London Surrey ,sussex etc areas , so I started this week (no point earlier as they would be sold) emailing through ebay all the sellers , I’ve had some positive replies and expect a lot to turn up. I’ve covered a lot of defenders and just stated on the Disco’s when ebay blocked me for the next 24hrs from sending any more emails. So what I need is someone to start going through ebay emailing people – dead easy search for a disco near RH5 5LQ give 100mile catchments then start clicking the link until you get contact seller then paste the details below, On Sunday If I get some decent vehicles turn up I can phone stuart and we can take it from there ,,,could work

Just thought I would put my THANKS on here too!!
Whilst I am now glad rather than envious that I am not going on the rally as I think I would have died from STRESS by now (I have a little OCD about things going just so) there is no way I would have wanted Stuart and Gareth to pull out due to car trouble and no way they would still be attempting this without you lot encouraging them. (i think there's other ways to describe it)
We are currently looking at a couple of vehicles in the Manchester area and my mate down there is going to have a nosey (i pulled in a favour)
Thank you for all your messages, help and suggestions they have kept the team going...

I'm sure keeping you organisers guessing as to whether you have Team 24 in the rally is brightening up these last few boring, nothing to do, organising days before the set off!

Just driven past a good looking kitted out 110 with a for sale sign in the window in Ambleside. Unfortunately I was in a rush to get from one site to another, but I'll go back later and see if it's still there.

We like ambleside for distance.

PM me a number - if it's worth a second look I'll get in touch.

Tony, you may be surprised but that disco you looked at yesterday DIDNT sell.

Chopper - answer your 'phone !!!! Or ring me - 07860 759504
I'm sat next to the one in Ambleside

OK, so the one in Ambleside was too expensive and too good/cheap to be true for what it was !!

Back to the search.
