Thread rating:  |
Nivaone - 14 Jul 2005 17:48 GMT Hi all .. Just a chance that someone may consider swapping their landrover :-) for my Ssangyong Korando .......S reg 3 owners from new.
Korando has 115K on the clock 60k of that I have put on on 3yrs. T&T .. new discs on rear well shod. No obvious problems .. or to my knowledge No other problems.
2.9 n/a diesel ... no dings, bangs, etc. stone chip to windscreen ( been there for 3yrs ) and a key scratch some Ba**ard put on the first day I owned it. Nice 4x4 clean and not offroaded ( used daily to get to work and back )... usual Ssangyong refinements :-) No clunks,clicks,knocks or other indication of any problems gearbox or transmission or engine... clean burning .. Last MOT the tester thaught his emmission tester had gone dead as there was no reading of significance.
I love this car ... so why do I want to get rid of it?
SIMPLE ... I want to offroad again!! I can buy a townie to travell to work :-)
I am looking for the "best landrover" offered ALL will be considered ... prefer 90/defender .. 110 same .. rangie.. must be road legal T&T Age immaterial ... body work clean at least .. not bothered about dings etc.
Sorry .. only Landrover product considered.
NOW FOR THE FUNNY BIT .....
I have enough chocolate buttons... I dont want to accept cash .. despite offers of 50p+ unless the offer will allow me to buy a Landy I may consider your wife / girlfried .. if she has less mileage than the Korando and she is great in the rough :-)) ..
* standing back and waiting to be swamped with offers *

Also most cheap one-day events frequented by the weekend off-roader need a road-legal vehicle, as does green laning.

Maybe someone with a Freelander will swap with him. Or he could put some spinner hubs on it, swap the name badges for Buick ones and sell it to some twerp down the local estates.

> ->You'd need to be legal for an A-frame shirley?
> Not if it's a braked A frame. AIUI, you'd need a braked A-frame because of the Suzi's weight (over 750kg max laden), but if there's ANY wheels of the car being towed on the ground, then it does need to be taxed/MOTd/insured, as it's still a vehicle being recovered not a trailer.
Only way around that would be to trailer it - which would make far more sense on a number of levels anyway.
Braked A-frames aren't as common as unbraked ones.
If the wheels are on the ground, you'll still be rotating the Suzi's drivetrain - and if that's full of water in the oil, you'll still be shafting everything properly.
If you've broken the Suzi's drivetrain, or bent it, or even run out of tyres that'll hold air, you're stuffed - you can't tow it home.
With a proper trailer, no matter what you do to the Suzi, as long as you can collect most of the bits into a rough pile and strap 'em down, you've got it home.

True, my current toy is a Range Rover, with it's weight and that of the trailer it makes for quite a heavy load to drag about, and this time of year means I can't run the air con in the tow vehicle ;-)

If you put the transfer case in Neutral, then you'll still be spinning the output side of the transfer case.

If you've got a bit of water in the wheel bearings, then it could make the difference between regreasing them and replacing them.

In all my years of abusing Suzuki's I never had anything other then EP90 in the transfer case, and only ever broke one and that was after it had put up with years of having to put up with more then twice the amount of torque it was designed for.
Blew quite a few diffs, but only one went in such a way as to lock the rear axle, took the diff out and drove home in front wheel drive, did knacker the rear wheel bearings tho.

Trailers have bearings, true they don't get as much abuse but I've get to goto a site without getting the trailer wheels covered in crud.

No but if you get to the road and call them because your "trailer" has had a wheel bearing failure then they should take your trailer home.
Well that is the theory, the practice may be a bit different !

I have a trailer and A-Frame, I can legally put the Range Rover on the trailer but I prefer to use the A-Frame.

Near Bordon yes.
No it was red, didn't get that close a look at it, from a distance it may have had two engines and a lot of suspension travel.

The reason I want to swap it is ... BECAUSE I WANT TO GO OFFROAD ... again IF I damage the Korando ( which is to good to take offroad ) It will cost an arm and a leg to repair...and I cant aford to buy even a play toy ... or A frame Geoff :-(
Q.. Have you driven a Korando? no?
Neither had I till I bought mine ..
Drives like a dream .. doesnt owe me a penny .. 30+ to the gallon ....... AND I want a Landrover ..again .. dirty smelly unreliable ..and a uncomfortable :-) but I want one ... ... Mmmm may be I am on crack!
OR maybe I keep the Korando and sell my sole to the devil ( bank manager ) and get a loan ... then buy a Landy?
an jus fer the record ... also had 3 Niva's,Suzuki SJ,Suzuki Samuri, Landy 90,Landy SeriesII, Lada Saloon, Renault4 van, Lambretta 200, Honda CM125,... So you see I'm used to being laughed at :-))

Nivaone - 16 Jul 2005 12:55 GMT According to TOTAL OFFROAD .. the prices for a 2.9D Korando is
Basic = £3750 Good = £4500 - £7250 A1 = £8000
I will assume these are trade in prices so I will say mine is Basic ..
and a cash price of £2500 ...
and why would anyone want to swap a shite old landrover for mine ? who knows ... somebody might ... like I KNOW WHY I want to "get rid of it" ..
How many times do I have to say it ... because I want to offroad AGAIN and the Korando is too good to damage.
But hey ... You dont want to swap .. so no problem ... but at least I ask and someone may want to .. after all some people buy landys .. and look at the flack they get !!
and dont forget ... someone will buy just about any 4x4 if the price is right for them .. Suki's Lada's Panda's Rockster's ... do I need to go on.. Nah!

That's a shite excuse, given the value of it, you may as well offroad it. Unless of course what you are tryi9ng to say is that it's shite off road, in which case why would anyone want to swap a capable off-roader for a car that is neither good on road nor off it?
I take a nicely painted 4xFord off road most days of the week, it's larger and more glossy than the Korando and it's not "too good to damage'.

WHY does STEVE FIRTH think he knows I am making an "excuse"
What represents value to you may NOT be what represents value to me ..
STEVE you are entitled to your opinions and I to mine.
I have my opinions of 4xFords... but I will not attack your choice .. because it is your choice !!
I have been "offroading for almost ten years ( no doubt you will have an opinion on that as well ) I have met lots of people on this newsgroup and appreciated the friendship .. but this news group is now going the same way as C.B. radio ... more idiots than genuine contributers to the group!
It seem that more and more people are becoming more intollerent of other peoples "choices" and readily attack rather than encourage the sport/hobby.
... and no doubt your is bigger and glossy than the Korando ..... and you feel it is not to good to damage ...that again is probably down to your value criteria. I wish you well offroading the 4xFord and hope you can afford to pay for repairs ...
It really is a pity this NG is going to the dogs .. I will NEVER AGAIN POST TO THIS NEWS GROUP.

Sadly Graham this group has been going to the dogs for some time, I only check it from time to time and very rarely post, the same is true of most usenet groups now.
Funny how it's the same names that appear over and over again stirring up the trouble, this did used to be a fun place to be, and one where the regulars used to meet in real life for offroading and beer, I guess those that have ruined it have no real life so they ruin it for those of us that do.
Sad innit, I know you've had a tough time of it of late Graham so I hope you find your Land Rover and enjoy using it offroad.

I said quite the opposite of your interpretation. I pointed out that the Land Rover is capable off road and why would anyone want to swap one for a vehicle that is less capable off road and not much cop on road.
> > I take a nicely painted 4xFord off road most days of the week, it's > > larger and more glossy than the Korando and it's not "too good to > > damage'. > > Hmm, you off-road regularly in a nicely-painted car and it's still > nicely-painted? Yes, there's this strange concept of a "paint shop" where one can take a vehicle and pay someone to respray it if necessary. Not TBH that it needs much or that often. Then again I'm not one of the Saturday fuckwits who flings a vehicle across green lanes at too high a speed until the vehicle breaks.
> Where is this off-roading done, On my land of course. And on the approaches to it, the worst that usually happens is mild scratches that can be polished out, indeed if you keep the vehicle well polished the marks tend to be surface only.
If one is a blind pillock, or one of these "Fast Show" tits who wears a John Deere cap despite never having owned a tractor, ever. The type that thinks that taking a vehicle off-road is all about throwing it down a lane a 50MPH+ straight at the nearest tree then I can understand why one would get a little precious about damage to the paintwork.
> on the kerb at Sainsbury's? Perhaps the OP wants to actually go off-road > properly, which needs something a little more capable than a chelsea > tractor. The Korando isn't a "chelsea tractor" that term is reserved almost exclusively for the Range Rover which is <gasp> a Land Rover product.
The Korando isn't unbelievably bad off road being not much more than a Jeep clone, it's certainly up to the Vitara standard and probably quite a bit better. It's stupidity of the highest order to claim that a Korando is "too good" to off road when it's obviously worth about ninepence.

> Yes, there's this strange concept of a "paint shop" where one can > take a vehicle and pay someone to respray it if necessary. As the owner of an 9 year old landy I'm not familiar with the concept! It doesn't last long anyway, the worst part is the vegetation scratching the gloss of the surface in one single trip, I took a friend out after he'd painted his truck, warned him about it but he didn't believe me... until afterwards ;-) It went from gloss all over to matt all over, not just a couple of scratches but thousands of tiny ones. Mind you a shiny Series 2A looks daft anyway.
> The type that thinks that taking a vehicle off-road is all about > throwing it down a lane a 50MPH+ straight at the nearest tree then I > can understand why one would get a little precious about damage to > the paintwork. Blimey, fastest I've ever been off-road is about 10MPH, 50MPH on the green lanes around here would be scary..
A chap at work said that if he went off-roading he'd just have the pedal to the metal all the time. I took him out on the road in my Defender, first corner we went round at normal speed he's scrabbling away at the dashboard in panic for something to hold onto as he thought it was tipping over! He went white as a sheet, and afterwards scornfully told me that his friend's 4x4 drives just like a car.. "What is it?" I asked expectantly. "Toyota RAV-4" he said..
> The Korando isn't a "chelsea tractor" that term is reserved almost > exclusively for the Range Rover which is <gasp> a Land Rover > product. Nah, there's plenty of pretenders to the crown, Landrover just started it with the original Range Rover, but at least back then it had some off-road potential, which the current crop have more than the competitors in the class but certainly not serious any more.

I run a Discovery worth far more than that thing and it goes off-road just as much as any other Landrover I know (http://groups.msn.com/LosiPaulsPictures/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=115 and http://groups.msn.com/LosiPaulsPictures/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=118 for just how much off-road we go.)
