It's not something so simple as the handbrake shoes in the transmission drum dragging slightly, is it?
I still think it is... just because I used to have this problem, but I don't any more!

Hope they did`nt charge you to much for the anti roll bars, as the boost option c/w roll bars is about £800
I bought mine 2nd hand from a LR dealer - the fitting of the ARBs was negotiated in the pur ... |

Anti roll bars come on a county if you tick the option box for the Boost alloys when ordering 
That follows - mine is on steels.
Wonder what the thinking is behind that... alloys make you ... |

Definitely need the anti-roll bars, mine being a County didn't have them as standard - I test drove it and scared myself at the first roundabout! Had them fitted straight away.
I would guess that so ... |

Welcome EdF - skis & Landys = agreed.
Just out of interest - I think the Pumas have Disco 1 springs all-round, SWs anyway...
The ride is definitely more supple than my last 90 (a ... |

Looks pretty good to me too...
I understand your frustration of ordering/expecting one colour and getting another, but - one green v. a slightly darker green - once it has some dirt on you won't tell ... |

Less at Guy Salmon Stratford, £449.
Droitwich were quoting £510.
I'll probably use my previous independent once out of warranty, I know they will be cheaper. |

Just been quoted £530 by Stratstone Cheltenham - I'm a bit shocked - should I be?
So far as I can see from the Maintenance Check Sheet, it's only mainly brake fluid, fuel & air filters over the ... |

I previously flip-flopped between Tesco, Sainsburys, M&S and the AA - all for the 50th though.
Don't know if any of them are 'any good', as fortunately not had to test them - each time I just go ... |

This is also demonstrated by the smaller disks & callipers to the rear on your LR...
In fact most small cars still have drums on the rear with discs on the front!

I'm now with NFU too - they were never competitive with my 50th for some reason, but the best quote on diesel by some margin.
Still about £50 more than I was paying on the 50th though (but lower ex ... |
